its not that its like major gayness or anything, its just that i was wonderin what was rong :D

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

it could be that the librian is using his phycic powers to keep his aim steady(i doubt it) as for the lasgun it could be the heat needed to produce such a fast beam of light i really dont know....but i am surprised that an imperial gaurdsmen cna use a bolter withou breaking his collar bone since it shoots a bullet the size of a small coke can

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

i dont think a cooling system has recoil
but the imperial guard have HUGe recoil
i dont see how they can shoot with it
oh well

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

its probably the animators fault for the las gun recoil... but man imagine an imperial gaurdamen charging you with a bolter that would be hilarious!!!

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Plasma Guns have recoil because they are launching a super-heated ball of liquid at the opponent. This liquid has mass and must therefore be propelled. For every action there is an equivelant opposite reaction, the plasma or heated liquid must be propelled at a high speed and velocity to get it moving correctly and more safely. This causes the recoil of any plasma weapon. Of course the more plasma it fires, the more it must propel and the larger the recoil.

Lasguns recoil because they fire a concentrated beam of heat, light and sound energy. These energies however do not weigh anything and so do not need to be propelled with massive force that would cause recoil.
In basic the Lasguns recoil because the Guardsman holding the weapon is simply weaker that your average human child that is 4 years old and expecting his Birthday tomorrow.

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

lol i wouldnt doubt it, guardsmen are weak (in a 1v1 comapred to everyone else, im tired of ppl saying ig suck or imperial guardsmen suck cause they dont)

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

The lasgun has recoil. Fact
It fires a series of concentrated blasts. However i dont think they fire actual light. First of all, how would you get light into an ammo clip? I think its like heat or something, because if it was light, woudnt it just shine like a torch, or blind everyone in sight?

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

with that much light energy some of it is bound to convert to a different kind such as kinetic, just like when u have a light on the bulb also gets warm :D

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

I think i just explained it all but here we go:
The Lasgun M41 design like all others has a specially modified magazine to store certain enegries. Lasguns can hold one of two types of magazine. The first being the standard pattern Las magazine, the second a plasma magazine although stronger, it is more unstable and not the preffered amongst the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
Las (being the beam fired out of the weapon) is a concentrated beam of heat energy. It is visable and means therefore it also contains light energy. Las can also be heard, although not as loud as the standard bolter or any other standard pattern weapon, this means it also has sound energy.
The Tactica Imperium (also refered to in slang as: The Big Book of Tactics) states that in emergencies a Las magazine can be restored or refiled with enough heat to use again by throwing it in a fire for up to 10 minutes. This however makes the Las less stable as ammunition and also means that after the magazine has run out after being in the fire, must be thrown away unlike normal las magazine that havent been in a fire.
I do agree with to_plus_to though. Everybody says Guardsmen are weak when in fact on the Table Top they are very flexable and adaptable to any situation with the amount of options.

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

light has no weight but i just energy, energy can create forces, as is seen both when the lasgun hits the enemy and when the gun recoils
