661. In sci-fi movies, a hand-held raygun will be capable of paralysing someone, killing them or turning them to a blue haze that vanishes. It will also be able to shoot down alien drones and cut through the metal of airlocks, or alien prison walls. Fortunately, gun fights within the corridors of large spacecraft or within command decks never blows a hole through the hull. In the case of especially unpleasant uber aliens, they are often able to resist blasts from Earth weapons and special upgraded designs are required.
