Many residents of Lahina-town are familiar with these weapons

I want a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range.

"Basketball is a peaceful planet!"

[Rennes Templar]

Some believe the 911 towers were collapsed by DEW.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

directed energy blast

[READINABLUESTATE]

No blasters allowed on these premises.

[Manic_Episode]

Is there any defense? Magneto X-Men helmet? Thermal blanket? Lead suit?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Most believe their “gubmits” about anything.

Whether it’s about a disease you need an injection to prevent infection (even though we all know it won’t prevent it) or that it’s the cool thing to lop off your child’s genitalia in favor of the new fad.

[BigFreakinToad]

I’ll take a phaser rifle.

[BigFreakinToad]

is that the Beastie Boys?

[Nervous Tick]

>> Some believe the 911 towers were collapsed by DEW.

Sure, if an airliner shortly after takeoff with full fuel tanks is a DEW.

[Thud]

This guy has issues with zeros.

Orders of magnitude make a difference.

[Manic_Episode]

The Skipper, The Professor(The castaway, not the street basketball pro) and Gilligan.

[Bratch]

Women, children, minorities, and red shirts most at risk.

[BigFreakinToad]

Lasers are cool and all, but power falls off as distance increases and the beam disperses. Add weather to that and it’s pretty useless. Microwave weapons will fall under the same constraints I would think.

The GI Joe XMLR-1A or 3A are ok with me.
