Sorry for the noob comment, but what the hell does "will it blend?" mean and why does everyone keep saying it like it's the funniest thing in the world?

If you want to think about this in a different way, compare a pistol (flashbang) to a chaingun (plasma shield).

Star Wars, here we come! Now that we'll have blasters, we need to start on lightsabers. And then perhaps jedi...

Well, yes, that *is* the speed at which a laser would hit something. . .

I wonder how many of these new weapons will be illegal in a few years and subsequently illegally used by the us.

Sounds more like the Laser Rifle from Tribes, seeing as it's using a laser and all... Plus, Tribes is a much better game than UT.

We understand them, we just don't feel the need to be limited by them. Think outside the laws.

"Disorientate" is no more a word than "orientate" is. The word is "disorient."You owe us an apologization.

how about using 2000 pound bombs dropped to disorient without even putting troops on the ground?
