[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 9773079, member: 67454"] 40watts can be lethal, if it is delivered in a short period of time, like a few nanoseconds. Almost any level of power can be lethal if it is delivered in a short enough period of time Plasma differs from lasers in that is reacts with everything. a plasma is an ionized gas, and those ions are looking to meet up with other particles as fast as they can. A plasma weapon would have a much shorter range because it is reacting with the atmosphere the whole way. Also if you don't have some means of collimating it along the entire length of its travel, it just disperses. Lasers are good over the effective range of collimation. In other words, a laser beam is not a "beam" forever, it is eventually scattered. But it has a far greater range than a plasma weapon would. The inverse square law does not apply to collimated beams; if your laser pulse leaves with 100watts, and travels several miles without being too scattered, it arrives with nearly 100watts. As far as effect goes, each would cause burns. Lasers would burn a hole, superheating any water in the tissues in the immediate area. Plasma would be more like a shotgun, with a wider-ranging, shallower burn that would also superheat the water in the surrounding tissues. Jim Snover [/QUOTE]
