Yeah, the fact that we already have the technology to make a gun that handles the aiming for you... and we aren't even shooting light, which would be even easier to auto aim. Fights should be super short and boring, one shot, one kill... 20 shots, 20 kills. There would be no action heroes because very few people would ever live through more than a handful of fights. The heroes would be the beurocrats, so we'd have to spend alot more time watching them.

Sounding like they made the right choice.

They shoot plasma, not lasers. Think Halo alien weapons.

Ah fair, not quite as easy as re-aiming light accurately then, but probably still easier than solid metal.

Guns shouid make fights super boring. Literally just kill anyone you’ve got line of sight to.

But instead, they make fights more interesting, because now cover is a thing and it’s all angles.

I’m sure there will be something interesting about laser vs laser wars that we can’t even imagine now (unless we quit being pussies and start putting realistic robot capabilities into video games).
