Claim: Energy and Gamma Weapons are light-speed

Gamma Gun is Light-speed
The Gamma gun literally shoots Gamma Radiation. That's light-speed.

Energy Weapons are Light-speed
Energy Weapon Descriptions and Mods:

  • Beam splitter
  • Beam focuser
  • Fallout 3 Research Note: "Power drawn from Micro fusion Cell is processed through a Wave/Particle Diverter (manuf:Gen Atomics Intnl)." "Precision-cut lenses focus optic energy. Lenses are prone to damage and can grossly affect precision of the firing weapon's firing mechanism. Lenses are easily replaced with any clear glass, but require a great deal of skill to fabricate."
  • Fallout 3 Citadel Entry: "The AER9 features a titanium housed crystal array which proved to withstand long years of exposure to the elements much better than the gold alloy housing of the later models. As a result, the crystal arrays stayed focused within operating parameters, rather than falling completely out of focus like the newer models.
    As with all energy weapons, the AER9 can suffer from poor performance if not properly maintained. The crystal arrays and non-mechanical components are delicate and if not properly serviced can lead to a loss of beam intensity, overheating, and energy regulation failure."
Energy Weapons Aren't like Plasma Weapons:

  • Fallout 3 Research Note: "The Plasma Rifle, like the Laser Rifle, uses a micro fusion cell as its power supply. It taps into the cell, essentially a small fusion reactor, to produce a toroid of plasma that is ejected down a superconductor barrel. A typical micro fusion cell can supply the rifle with around eight shots. Further research needs to be done to determine exactly how the plasma retains its density while traveling through the air toward its target."
Properties of Energy Weapons in Fallout 4:

  • Energy weapons travel faster than ballistic weapons
  • Energy weapons don't transfer any kinetic energy
Requirements that are met:

  • The beam refracts in a new material, such as a liquid or... (The focusing lenses and crystal arrays within the weapon)
  • It is stated to be made of photons or light itself, again by a credible scientific source (Related mods; Gamma wave emitter, Photon exciter)
  • It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera (Power drawn from Micro fusion Cell is processed through a Wave/Particle Diverter; Light is considered both a wave and particle.)
 
This seems fine, yes, but preferably don't link to discussion threads within the profile pages. Thank you.
 
Also, why did you state in the profile page that they have speed of light attack speed, with no evidence of this above?
 
I just checked the history, and you're the one that changed it to attack speed.
 
Well, that is the term that we generally use for weaponry with that kind of speed. I changed the wording, but the meaning was the same.

Anyway, please check the following page: Laser/Light Beam Dodging Feats
 
Okay, I'll transfer this to a blog.

How should I phrase the statement of shooting lightspeed lasers?
 
Well, you can check the page that I mentioned above in order to check whether or not we can count them as lightspeed.
 
The speed of energy weapons should be comparable to the Gamma gun which literally shoots Gamma Radiation that's light speed.
 
Requirements that are met:

  • The beam refracts in a new material, such as a liquid or... (The focusing lenses and crystal arrays within the weapon)

  • It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera (Power drawn from Micro fusion Cell is processed through a Wave/Particle Diverter; Light is considered both a wave and particle.)
 
Okay. That seems fine then.
 
I thought that I already accepted Speed of light attack speed with energy weapons to be added?
 
Well, I think that it should probably be fine.
