| Jul 22, 2020 at 21:04 | comment | added | Trioxidane | I'm wondering if the shortest wavelengths are viable. Gamma is undeniably dangerous, but mostly long term. If you shine a 1w blue light on someone, they'll reflect some but absorb the rest on the skin. But a gamma might just pass through, or at best give 1w of power spread out over the targeted area and many layers deeper. The spreading of this energy is detrimental if you want to cause harm. | |
