It'd be impressive if they fire it at like half the speed of light

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 71 points 1 month ago

I mean, any other non-c speed really.

I would be especially interested in speeds larger than c ๐Ÿ™‚

Imagine if they made it fire so slow that you could just do a dark souls dodge roll to avoid it

[-] Catoblepas 10 points 1 month ago

Would you accept 10,000 times slower than the speed of light?

just shine a laser through a thing of zircon (n=index of refraction=1.923~2)

so speed of the laser in the zircon = c/n ~c/2

Then we could finally have Star Wars laser guns.
