Skin that laser wagon, alien! See what happens. :)
Laser are used for teaching youngsters the art of aiming. The fleet uses effector weapons mainly. The effectors have a range of just over 5 light years ... so you see they do not have to get too close to pull everything apart before they begin the CAM dusting (Compact Anti-Matter) which will break down the remaining rocks to molecules and the molecules to atom before the whole shebang totally disintegration - quite a sight I’m told ...
Hold tightly on to you laser weapon, point it at your head, and pulling the trigger .... that would spare you the painful and gory bits, but you’d miss the show ...
