New RP, Star Wars like.

With one hand... You need at least one hand out to use drain (Red lighting comes from fingers) But if some other Jedi is swinging at you, you're probably going to have to give up on your draining to live.

The main idea (If your trying to drain an enemy) is to drain and run (But not to far, because Drain has a semi-short range)

The agitated gas is then funneled through the actuating blaster module, where it is processed into an intense particle beam. A prismatic crystal focuses the beam, and passes it through a refinement chamber which "galvens" the beam into its final bolt.

I don't know... that doesn't sound like a laser to me. Sounds like a particle beam... and the force.net, which uses the books, movies, etc. to describe what a blaster bolt is or is not says this: "There is no sure answer in terms of real life science; so far we can only place constraints on the nature of the beam by making careful observations about the filmed behaviour. The shots create light which is emitted sideways, otherwise the bolts would not be seen. The visible bolts appear to travel at various velocities, which usually appear to be slower than the speed of light. However there is an invisible component of the beam which often propagates far ahead of the visible bolt. The invisible forerunner is probably an aspect of the fundamental beam itself, and the luminosity of the bolt is a side-effect. The forerunner beam is known to damage targets before the visible bolts arrive, and this component of the shot may actually propagate at lightspeed. "

Which makes it look like it has a laser component and a non-laser component... but the biggest thing against it being a laser is two things 1) How would you 'galvanize' light? and 2) Getting a small stream of light to hold enough heat energy that it would cause the kind of damage in the movies would require the barrel to melt, or be made out of some sort of ceramic... and if it was purely heat, a ceramic could easily stop blaster bolts.

Uh... yes... but let's just go with the "Who the hell knows what they are?" thing?

Stop it with your 'beam' and 'laser' and 'subatomic particles' talk. Here is the basics of what you need to know.

"If a gun/blaster shoots a colorful thingy and it is not very large, a light saber can deflect it. The guns themselves are super technology that needs not to explanation, and those who question it are killed."

subatomic particles is what I meant to say. It's a broken stream of neutrons and protons. The electrons are knocked off.
Basically a railgun on the scale of a toothpick.

[Stover]

...a railgun uses magnetic acceleration...

[Rhuhael]

And exactly how did you think they seperated the electrons from the protons? It's a combination magnetic acceleration and an intense flow of energy.

[IHateMakingNames]

One more word of this and your characters will be missing limbs.

I like that. I say we obey.

Edit: I want my limbs!

[Rhuhael]

Fine. It's all just metaphysics anyway and completely rules out the use of antimatter or any such material which really makes this an inane conversation anyway. Antimatter will have replaced any power source that we have today

And no I'm not crazy they have already produced 50 nanograms of anti-matter in a lab in ... Switzerland I believe it was.
