Yes, see Heretics of Dune when Teg mows down Face Dancers, trees, glowglobes, etc. by sweeping the beam back and forth down the slope of the hill, or later when Taraza is cut in halfHunchback Jack wrote:Thanks very much for the quote. Very interesting, indeed.
Pesumably, this means that lasguns bolts are a coherant beam of light from gun to target?

Short bursts. He means, a continuous beam with no break or interruption until the trigger (or whatever) is released. Like a firehose.A Thing of Eternity wrote:Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but what's the other option for a laser?Hunchback Jack wrote:Thanks very much for the quote.

Oh... a light bolt traveling slower than light? Not very SF for my tastes, but then again, I barely even consider SW SF.Freakzilla wrote:A bolt, like in SW?A Thing of Eternity wrote:Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but what's the other option for a laser?Hunchback Jack wrote:Thanks very much for the quote.

Oh. Even if it was just a really short burst there would still be a coherant beam back to the gun unless it was very, very short, or the target was very, very distant.Tleilax Master B wrote:Short bursts.
