Military Weapons

[Condottiere]

A cleaner might clean up the electromagnetic spectrum waving around electromagnets.

Proving whether a specific laser weapon caused a wound isn't possible, at least not in any legally robust matter.

Just run a laseronics ergon test.

I think you guys have been watching too much Law & Order.

You can take security footage and blow it up on the computer screen.

One fun side note that came from my conversation with a friend: He pointed out the interesting and ironic situation of my character not being able to own a Gauss Pistol but he could own a Beam Laser and Missile Launcher in his Scout Ship's turret. Seems if the owning of "military weapons" was a bad thing they would be more worried about what I could do with the Beam Laser. LOL

Anyway, time to move on and just accept they want me to carry a shotgun. :mrgreen:

It might be possible to lockdown ship weapons, but if the starport can do it, so can pirates.

Could be some form of manual disabling, more for safety, than security.

This was done in the Planet Pirates series by Anne McCaffrey, they went through a whole procedure before being allowed to approach, including checking by personal that boarded.

Nope, it is just once again the game mechanics have caused rules to be added and fluff to be written. They know the normal PC can't walk into a bar with his missile launcher in his pocket, but he could have a grenade or an SMG etc. Typical fluff used to justify game restrictions. :mrgreen:

That's why you have scanners and sniffers at the entrance.

Assuming the scanner or sniffer can tell if the pistol is one that is illegal or not. :wink:

That energy laser battery has got to be leaking protons.

And that's why the bouncer is a Vargr.

I agree. Vargr make great bouncers.

They're always excited to see you.

"Zoom in. Roate. Enhance."

"It's photoshopped. You can tell by the pixels."

"THAT'S BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THE FECKING PIXELS."

CSI: Regina probably looks for background radiation, which might differ due to frequency variations due to components manufactured by different corporations.

Better call Zaul then, or Bwappitawob his Newt partner. He'll take them apart in pretty short order.

Your honour, we have esatablished with a 83% probability that the murder weapon was, indeed a Mk IX laser carbine. Why yes, your honour, my client does indeed own a Mk IX laser carbine, but then so do 7,361,293 other citizens who have registered examples, plus an unknown number of illegal ones. However, we have failed to prove that it could not have been a MK XIII, nor have we managed to prove exactly which one of the 103,291,540 items manufactured of the Mk IX it actually was and we have comprehensively failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was the one belonging to my client.

As several witnesses have testified to my client's attendance at Don Vinny's funeral less than one hour before the time of the murder, and the Regina City air traffic control have not been able to furnish records of air/raft movements on that day, my client has a watertight alibi as he could not possibly have gotten to the victim's homestead in the time after the funeral.

Therefore, the jury has no option but to find my client not guilty.

<<Verdict of Not Proven entered into record >>

In an episode of the old BSG they did just that fired the gun and compared the energy discharge to the would on a dead body.totally sci-fi/space opera technobabble cheese but it was a fun episode to watch.

Yes, and I wonder if the Zootopia trick would work on Vargr?

Exactly, Dr Wilker did the test on Starbucks blaster.
