Why doesn't Hollywood get laser guns right?

Because what's right isn't always the coolest way to do it. They don't get regular guns right either.

Laser weapons shooting in pulses are more realistic.
The capacitor needs a second to charge.

X is correct assuming they let go of the trigger causing the light to get cut off, the pulling it again to release another laser light blast

>>82195793
Because most often it's not actual laser guns but technobabble radiation, plasma throwers or random energy pulses.

>>82195793
laser guns are made this way on purpose, so they don't overheat and to get more from the power cells, maybe if there is a crystal to not overload it

I'm more bothered that you can't make lightsabers shoot beans

>>82195793
Because your a virgin x)

damn, OP getting fucking destroyed

Photon is a particle, senpai

a pulsed or qswitched laser would be better than cw for a gun, but it would still look like the lower picture.

>gun fires a burst of energy in the form of a laser
>laser moves at speed of light normally, but a gaseous containment field is created around it
>laser bounces around in this field and creates a thicker, slower moving 'rod' of concentrated energy

>>82195892
Even if it was a pulse, the light would be too fast for you to see it travelling

>>82196036
Particles and energy are the same thing. Quantum mechanics explains it likde a wave (particles without mass) and a standing wave (particles with mass).

So this is going to be a thing now?

This. All the "laser" weapons in Star Wars are actually sci-fi babble Plasma guns like in 40k. They just can't hit important people and only one-hit evil guys.

It's directed bursts of highly energized gas. They're never even called lasers IIRC, they're always called blasters.

>>82197084
Then why do they work in a vacuum?

>>82197152
Why would presence or absence of air affect anything? They don't rely on combustion.

>>82197084
The shit star destroyers shoot is called turbo lasers.

>>82195793
thats not a laser thats a beamm of light you retard

>>82195793
lasers aren't real faggot

>>82195793
Blasters are not laser guns, they are plasma casters.

Each blaster rifle has a gas chamber (no /pol/ not that kind) and a charge pack. The charge pack excites the gas, turning it into plasma. Then the blaster accelerates the plasma bolt through the barrel like with magnets or something.

KINO

PRAISE KEK

>laser shots are slower than bullets

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
