I don’t think a regular pen laser would cause that. Since lasers are just light and shields don’t explode when people stand in the sun. Either it affects lasguns because those lasers are powerful or lasguns work on some different mechanics. A shield can stop things that a child throws if it’s...

So what about things like cane swords, those are elegant and stylish, yet can also be subtle so it's like the premodern version of concealed carry lol.

I was about to bring up the Holtzman Effect for anti grav and teleporation. But I mean I don't know if shields will be made that slow for infantry. I mean NBC gear is not comfy to be in, a shield is like a small belt. It would be easier to have the soldiers always have it on, so that means...

No I get that building level shields could not let air in, and you can still breath by relying on life support and there is air inside the building. But for regular infantry that are not wearing gas masks the shield would have to be high enough to let air and some wind move through otherwise...

Wait I have a few questions? How would shields protect against gas? I mean if they don't allow poison gas inside then people can't breath air, unless they have a gas tank/NBC gear on them. My other question is if the shield is set too low on a building wouldn't that just cause problems? I mean...

Well of course guns by themselves don't kill people. People kill people. It's just that guns make it a bit easier. Shields will just make it easier to survive the attacks when they do happen. As for assault/battery rates going up. Not really, the thing is almost every murder involved an assualt...

Dune lasguns are far more powerful than laser pointers or anything we have though. Like one of their laser pistols could slag a column of tanks. So I think before we have to worry about lasers and shields being powerful enough to cause a nuclear explosion we'd need MUCH more potent energy...

Let's say tomorrow morning a scientist figures out how to create Dune shields, and posts how to do it on the internet so everyone can see it and there are multiple copies circulating around. Let's say it's also easy to make, and very cheap. What would the reaction to shields that can stop...
