Talk:Laser Rifle

Cleanup needed
I'm not well-versed in the Laser Rifle (especially since I don't have one), but this page really needs to be cleaned up/edited.


 * Actually, looks like it's in dire need of a full rewrite: redundancies, POV, nonsense, inaccuracies... I don't yet have a Laser Rifle though. If it's still in this dismal state once I get one, I'll fix it myself. 190.55.92.154 07:03, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Drop Rate
It took me about twenty WoF kills to finally get this weapon. I can confirm that it's not any more common than the others. --Theothersteve7 15:28, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Piercing
How many enemies does the Laser Rifle pierce? LordofEditing (talk) 04:12, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Two. The text and image make this clear, but I'm going to assume you're asking for the reason I think you are and clarify- it can pierce through two enemies to hit a third, but not pierce through that third to hit a fourth. Gearzein (talk) 07:01, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The page said three, ending on the fourth, last time I checked. Gonna undo this edit. LordofEditing (talk) 07:04, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Term "Rifle"
About the laser rifle not being a rifle because of not rifled barrel. So the term RIFLE means "a portable, long-barrelled firearm designed for precision-oriented shooting, to be held with both hands and braced against the shoulder for stability during firing, and with a barrel that has a helical pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the bore wall." And all those weapons fulfill each features of this term but the rifling. So does it really mean it's not a rifle and it should be mentioned on page? 94.23.169.231 14:44, 9 July 2019 (UTC)


 * The page does not state that the weapon is not a rifle, or did you refer to something else? The trivia item just concludes that rifling the barrel would not have any effect due to the inability of a laser to spin. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 15:28, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

The trivia item needs a proper citation. I don't think it's right that rifling would have no effect on a laser weapon, but I'm not sure, and the wikipedia page cited does not support the claim. I looked for other sources to verify the claim, but found none. Everlyafterhappy (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
