...As a Kid, my GI JOE Universe had every man and vehicle armed with laser weapons like in the Cartoon.
Today the only Laser weapons are the experimental ones that were in the original toy line. Examples: 1. FLASH has his Laser Rifle with Backpack. But he is limited in the number of shots he has power to fire before needing a re-charge. 2. Sci Fi has his Laser Rifle & pack. with the same limitations as FLASH. 3. Snow Job has his Laser rifle as an option, again with the same limits as FLASH and Sci Fi. 4. The HAL towable weapon system is a portable Laser cannon. Again with a limit to how many shots it can fire etc. 5. Cobra commander has an experimental laser pistol designed by Destro. Its very expensive so only Cobra Commander has one, and again it has limitations 6. The LAW battle station also is a Laser Cannon with a small generator to power it. Again it has limits as well. 7. Rank and file JOE and Cobra members do not have Laser weapons. 8. Some Vehicles might be equiped with laser weapons, but only as part of experiments in new technology. (Like the Persuader & some BF 2000 stuff) Thats it. I figure that sooner or later "directed Energy Weapons" will become part of military arsenals... But they are still very new and experimental in my JOE-Universe; How about yours? Last edited by IronMan76; 02-02-2010 at 10:43 PM.. |

No lasers.
My laser troopers are used as forward observers with laser targeting systems for the artillery guys to home in on.

In my "joeverse" Dr. Mindbender is the only person who has a laser. He uses it to do laser hair removal and vasectomies. The two procedures are a package deal completely covered under Cobra's health insurance plan.

Flash, Sci-Fi, and Laser Viper use their lasers to paint targets for artillary.
The HAL and LAW are anti-missle lasers, which is something that has been worked on in real life. The Persuader has a rail gun, not a laser. |

Not a big fan of lasers in my Joe-Verse... Unless they are on top of a shark's head... (sorry, i couldn't resist!)
Seriously, this brings up a question somebody here might be able to answer... Is Snow Job's gun really a laser? I know that is how they used it in the cartoon, but isn't it based off a rifle that uses the 9mm pistol round? Essentially a 9mm pistol with a stock and an extended barrel? |

It's a laser. Technically it's the next generation up from Flashs.

That must be one heck of a nextgen improvement... no external power source needed... That is why i never had a problem with flash or Sci-fi (well, Sci-Fi's weapon, that uniform bugged me). Their whole kit was based around the laser they were carrying... |
