Dude! The guys talked about carrying "unlicensed particle accelerators" on their backs. The weapons, themselves, are referred to as "proton packs." Protons are positively-charged subatomic particles. Seing has how they are charged particles, it's pretty obvious why the "beam" is more like a lightning bolt.
Ya just gotta pay attention more closely to tech in the movies like us nascent gear heads.

Hence, the "joke" and non-serious flippancy in the prior response. The descent into absurd silliness from Potter kitsch is a riot! Love it!

How do you think Harry Potter would hold up vs. Gozer? Like Rick Moranis, running around barking?

Ya just gotta pay attention more closely to tech in the movies like us nascent gear heads.There are some of us who are pretty much hopeless like that... During the Sandra Bullock movie, "The Net," when she was tracing the IP address of the "bad guys," they showed the results of her trace, and without thinking I blurted out, "That's not a valid IP address!"
I couldn't believe I did that, and neither could anybody I was with that day! I wonder why I don't get invited to movies any more...
