[WIKI="An electrolaser is a type of electroshock weapon which is also a directed-energy weapon. It uses lasers to form an electrically conductive Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC). A fraction of a second later, a powerful electric current is sent down this [B][U]plasma channel[/U][/B] and delivered to the target, thus functioning overall as a large-scale, high energy, long-distance version of the Taser electroshock gun."][/WIKI]
Plasma is involved with the electrolaser and it's being controlled, resulting in a electric shock. I understand that. But plasma can also channel other forms of energy as well, which was what I was eluding to. Could it not be possible for the spacies to have such a gun? It wouldn't shoot plasma, but another substance maybe?
