Mar 20, 2022 at 2:20 comment added nick012000 @elemtias How else would you know what it smells like when weaponized lasers are used on things?
Mar 20, 2022 at 1:26 comment added elemtilas @nick012000 -- What would give you that impression?
Mar 19, 2022 at 22:05 comment added nick012000 @elemtias Are you saying you've worked on weaponised lasers for the military or something?
Mar 19, 2022 at 20:21 comment added elemtilas @nick012000 -- Also, from experience, it does actually smell (and taste) cooked. Until they start overcharring things! Then, indeed, it smells burnt.
Mar 19, 2022 at 20:11 comment added elemtilas @nick012000 -- Depends on the amount of energy and how fast. I always thought that a realistic phaser blast ought to take several scorching seconds to do its job. Instantaneous vapourisation just seems too quick and clean.
