:: “completely silent” when fired ::
But, the real giveaway is that high-pitched whine from the capacitors loading up when you switch it on.

But, the real giveaway is that high-pitched whine from the capacitors loading up when you switch it on. That high-pitched whine of a charging capacitor means, lookout, something interesting is about to happen.

It must have a fairly low muzzle velocity to be “completely silent”.

I remember watching an episode of Firefly where the bad guy had a “laser gun”. He was killed by a guy who had a more dependable “real” gun

BTW, if anyone watches the video be sure to go to 21:31 where he explains why the design was intentionally limited to emulate an airgun rather than an “illegal firearm” (in Canada).

You need those for you’re perfect world. Otherwise the sound of people being shot will be really annoying.

Like the racking of a shotgun, isn’t that high pitched sound supposed to act as an early warning of impending deadness? That’s what I’ve read and heard, anyway. :-)
