plasma caster- kilowattage?

[b-raz]

how many kilowatts do you guys think it packs?

just curious.

[The Necronoir]

Considering it's an alien technology, what makes you think a human measurement such as that is even applicable?

[Xenomrph]

Wattage is energy output. If it puts out energy, it can be measured in (kilo)watts.
Saying it can't be measured in watts is like saying Predator weight couldn't be measured in grams.

1.21 gigawatts.

[Shadow Hunter]

Since it's alien technology it will probably be off the scale.

[b-raz]

I just remember Arnold on T-1 saying that he wanted a plasma rifle in the 40 kwatt range, and I thought the plasma pistol in halo had 100-150 kilowatts, but it really said, kV, kiloVolts? Im assuming.

1.21 gigawatts.

And a steady 88MPH?

[Xenomrph]

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

[SM]

And a steady 88MPH?

At that speed - you're going to see some serious shit.

[Xenomrph]

Will it be manure?

[Xenomorphine]

We don't even know what the thing fires, let alone any energy requirements!

The 'ammunition' looks different, between the first and second film, while neither even realistically behave how plasma would.

This is actually a really good point.
