it is obvious that the gluon gun from half life uses a beam of raw energy, so what about when you kill something with the gluon gun they would die the same way as if you’d killed them with an energy pellet from hl2, you know dissintegrate in a sort off… static-y way
No. That’s lame. That would make it some kind of super-futuristic alien weapon instead of an ungodly scientific utensil.
It’s more like a mega-powered firehose that blows you to pieces when you get hit by the stream. It accelerates Gluons or something.
+1 for disintegration - maybe not in a “static-y” way but definitely yes overall.
as far as I know uranium does make people disintegrate but not in a static way.it does, however make us melt away into nothingness but i don`t think even black mesa can do that with graphics.it also makes us fly,but for a short period of time,and it has to blow up in our face
Well, an atomic bomb can certainly disintegrate someone.
I meant pure uranium with nothing btween you and it can make you disintegrate if ignited
it’d be better to think, that
[COLOR=‘DarkOrange’]0. the beam burns holes in the bodies
[COLOR=‘DarkOrange’]1. makes them explode from inside (incompatible with chopters and other machinery)
[COLOR=‘DarkOrange’]2. it’s just a game .\

:facepalm:
How can you ignite uranium? That would be unpossabel!
there fixed.I think…
Mr.Shadow, I’d quit while you’re, well, pretty far behind. Even leaving aside anyone else’s credentials, Raminator is a scientist by profession, whereas it’s pretty clear you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
Maybe he means that Large amounts of radiation can make your body decay? You know, just falling apart after being exposed?
Or am I way off the mark too?
You don’t “blow up” uranium. He’s probably trying to talk about an atomic bomb.
OR he saw too many movies with faces melting
Can we turn this thread into another epic dissertation about how modern science applies 100% to fictional video game weapon technology? Please? I’ll get us started, since I am highly educated and decorated in matters of science, biology, culture, and seduction - in fact, since
“Gluons are involved with the binding of protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei” it really doesn’t seem like a leap of logic to think a weapon involving gluons would involve unbinding atoms, i.e. disintegration. Since the only time Gluons have been directly observed is in a Quark-Gluon Plasma, a near-perfect fluid that exists at temperatures of 3,100 degrees Farenheit, I think it is likely that the Gluon Gun creates and fires the QGP - an intensely hot burst of energy which also has the power to unbind the atomic structure of matter itself. Of course we can only speculate of the effect this would have on living bodies, but according to the evidence I have presented it is obvious to anyone who is at all educated in the Sciences that the end result would look a lot like disintegration.
Oh good.
^agree
that was what happenned in the original game and it left me somewhat unsatisfied, it was mostly used for me in those PISS OFF moments where you are SO annoyed with your enemies you pull out that biggest bad ass gun only once you hit your enemies, most of the time they would disapear leaving just a tiny pool of blood instead of the titular EXPLOSION A LA GORE
how about leaving all the scientific gluoninity aside, we bring up the matter of how the disintegrating effect from half life 2 was an unsatisfactory way to dispose of your enemies rewardwise. I would much rather shoot some fool, have him rip apart and watch his liver splat on a wall ten feet behind him than have him fizzle and float away.
Those of you familiar with Fallout3 will know of the plasma rifle. When you get a kill with it your enemy is often liquidised using a cheap but effective trick. The rag dolls ‘bones’ were disconnected so that the whole mesh of the model sort of collapsed into a pile (this happens due to bugs with HL2 models sometimes) and a filter was placed over the models skin to make it go transparent and green. Also a load of sprites would appear too (gooey splashy stuff) It looked pretty good when it call came together.
disintegration, blowing up…
behold the most brutal death effect:
