Re: Hope & Fear
Still wouldnt want to be hit by them.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Hope & Fear
Of course, but it would take a number of hits to keep a target down, especially a determined one. Maybe the phasers in those instances were the beam equivalent of .25; enough to injure someone, but not nearly enough to kill in one or two shots.

Or they could have had curcuitry problems making them very weak even on a high setting.

Re: Hope & Fear
Brilliant. I remember there was once a website that actually had a table of the various power settings that were used to stun/kill various creatures in Trek. It went by canon, too. Can't find it though.Teaos wrote:So rather than numbered power levels they should call it by species.
'Set phasers to Klingon!"
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Not for nothing, but in a job I used to have working security in Las Vegas, I got shot with a .380 (bless you makers of Kevlar) and all I can say was even through body armor, in put me down

Re: Hope & Fear
Well, then I suppose you'd know better than I do. Where'd you get hit?

Re: Hope & Fear
Just curious, what's the caliber of a BB-gun?

.177 up to .25 apparently, but it's not the same thing due to propulsion method.stitch626 wrote:Just curious, what's the caliber of a BB-gun?
