Re: lasgun Recoil
 

or maybe rlic just thought that a bunch of completely stationary guardsmen would look sucky. (heat would cause the gun to become hard to hold but a light could not create enough for the recoil you see in game)

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Just thought i should say this now before i watch you all argue yourselves to death.
These recoil glitches/lasgun are on DoW. DoW was made by Relic. I shouldnt have to say much more than Relic often mess up. Balance issues mainly but they mess up on a lot more things as well.
Plasma weapons would have recoil in real life.
A Lasgun wouldnt. A Lasgun just fires a heated beam of energy. Just imagine shining a heated torch in places. That wouldnt recoil.
Also anybody notice that ingame the Lasgun recoils whereas the more powerful Hell Gun doesnt (Kasrkin weapon).

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

well thanks for clearing that up. Not that I am right or anything, was just offering a possible explaination :)

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Yup, same here, i offered 2 and then decided it was just to funny to watch. If i had left you to fight over it a moment longer i would have killed myself laughing.
But just think, its a super heated beam of visible infra red? Or so it is ingame... In the Fluff its different, but i wont go there. Lest the discussion continue

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Hold on a tick... I thought Infra red was invisible? Coz our cellphones and other communication devices use them? or am I wrong yet again?

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

But how is it visible? If lasers are ordered into a straight line, no light comes off the side so the beam shouldn't be visible. The only way to see it is to be shot in the retina (which will be fried too much), shoot a las-proof camera or see the refleced light on imact.
And you couldn't reflect a lasgun with a mirror, beause the heat wave in frot of th light would char the mirror, thus allowing the laser to hit and fry through. But that's different story...

EDIT: Vengeance I didn't see your post before I posted this

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

I was using infra red as a basic term.
It isnt infra red...ffs this thread is stupidly stupid...
Right were do i start (again) It is not infra-red, we all know what infra-red does look like though. The Las simply looks like infra-red. Everything else is explained in my above post (the last one only the others were...shall we say not accurate/for ammusement?)
If you post again asking questions that have been answered or are going to annoy you then i will eat your splean (spelling?)

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Ok to be honest if the game obeyed science 100% it would be boring, i mean when my guardsmen fire their weapons at something I don't want to see science I want to see a beam of fiery red laser! Its just more fun! And the recoil although unlikely, just makes em look cool. So how about we leave it at that, eh fellas?

PS its spelled spleen. lol

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

Ah splEEEEn, got it. Yeah, science sucks. Especially when it comes down to war... no you cant fire a giant laser battery at your enemies its against the laws of physics and all that crap! If science didnt exist i could fly!!!
Yes...So....where were we? Right ok then. Dakka...

Re: lasgun Recoil
 

you may realise that the recoil is impossible in reality. but hw crap would they look without it. and if kassies recoiled. how dumb would they look. they would shake like a ragdoll
