#2: Lasers are SILENT! Yeah, that big 1.21 GW laser fired from a mech that's 20 feet tall? Totally silent. Same with a rifle that will blow up the Chrysler Building. Why? Because light is silent. Again, I wrote an article refuting it, calling attention to atmospheric attenuation as well as thermal expansion of ambient atmosphere with the "thermal collapse" effect, basically saying you'd get a thunderclap of various degrees. Once again... "LASERS ARE SILENT BECAUSE OF... SHUT UP!"
