How hot is the bolt from this thing? Would it melt my eyeballs

It's a fucking laser gun with recoil man, I don't think they went for the realistic approach to this.

Bethesda cancer, please go

technically, the light could be of a high enough frequency and amplitude that it *could* be theoretically possible... solar sails, for example, work by the light of the sun imparting kinetic energy on the sail by way of reflection of said photons...

Theoretically yes but then the recoil becomes the least of your worries.

>>34324682
at that point it would be so powerful that rays reflected would kill people miles away though

yep. could blast the atmosphere away, lol.
could vaporize large amounts of earth.

Guys can we not autistically focus on the fact that my fictional example is given recoil because artistic license? I'm trying to write a story here

>>34325480

I like to imagine that four direct headshots with the laser "rifle" with the nose in the center:
>first burns the nose into a nub, third-degree burns in surrounding area
>second incinerates it and exposes nasal cavities. around the nose the facial muscle is exposed
>third and fourth turn out to burn, at the deepest point, no more than an inch and a half into the face

Write a story that isn't shit then.

You're trying to troll me, and it's not gonna work

Bollocks, solar sails work on the principle of radiation pressure, there is no transfer of kinetic energy involved.

>"Bolt"
You mean beam? Ok, this is what will happen.
>laser hits you
>area gets superheated
>bone gets incinerated, and then beam burns into your brain
>Your head explodes in a superheated steam explosion

>>34326242
Okay, great description, now let's pretend your one big hypothetical beam is instead three or four smaller ones and break it down

>>34326378
Same thing, but is actually preferred as the human body ablates as steam explosions and multiple beams would be able to avoid this.
