Quote:My thoughts on this can be summed up in three words: Solar Powered Flashlight.
*grin* Could be fun actually. I have an idea for a Sunbeam pistol (said name should send Doc Smith fans screaming in terror). But it's really a multi-purpose tool powered by stored sunlight. Flashlight, soldering iron, welding tool, cutting torch. Highly useful. It COULD be used as a weapon...but under the Slapstick effect, it'd be turned into a Dazzler pistol to temporarily blind...or maybe a SunBURN pistol. Any thoughts about this? Too over the top, or is it something every Mad wants for their toolbox?
To amplify: If it's primarily hardtech and the power source is sunlight, no big deal. If it's mainly wavetech, file the serial numbers off the jokes that were floating around before somebody actually built a solar-powered flashlight.
