[Catastrophe]

so futuristic!

[Torvald]

What about a phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range?

I want a 45 longslide, with laser sighting. This looks like a fucking sink !

[The Toxic Avenger]

I'm pretty sure they made that with real plumbing!

[Ænima]

Yeah, but come on dude. 100 millimeters. That's a lot of range to play with.

[Cruduxy]

So you stick this thing into people's mouth.. hit fire and they evaporate?
better than making a mess using swords imo

[Jigsaw]

Um.. where did you get that? How does it even work? :O
Edit: IS THAT THING EVEN LEGAL? lol.

Has anyone filmed it in action? Does it work through air?

In a vacuum, it has a range of a few feet. In a non-vacuum (ie earth air) it has a range of about 100 millimeters.

My understanding of how it works is that it creates plasma, and then uses extremely strong magnetic or ionic forces to shoot the plasma in one concentrated direction.

And yes many people have filmed it in action, yet it's hard to really see with the naked eye because the plasma-beam generated is mostly invisible. But if you're curious, look up "plasma torch" or "microwave plasma source" on Youtube.

Can I use it as a lightsaber? Or a lightshank if you will?

[BloodyAcid]

good luck shanking people with that hunk

Maybe someone could fiddle around with one of those gigantic naval railguns, complete with a capacitor bank the size of a small power plant:
