Someone brought this topic up on the local FLG, and I'm spreading the word to Dakka! This is a humor thread, but I feel it belongs here, like the angry marines topic. Help me describe just HOW BAD lasguns are.
1. Shining in your friend's eye to annoy him.
2. A cricket bat.
3. The bayonet can be used as a butterknife, if sharpened.
4. Warming soup.
5. When left on, a seat warmer in your Leman Russ.
6. Roasting marshmallows, if rapidly fired.
7. Scraping your name in the sand on Tallarn.
8. Picking your nose.
9. A backscratcher.
10. Reaching out to press the power button on your TV.
11. Opening Coke cans.
12. Picking locks.
13. Cleaning out your ears.
14. A laser pointer.
15. If several are combined, you can make toast.
Feel free to add other uses for the previously useless-for-combat lasgun.

then laugh as the last remaining man rolls double one for his morral check manages to kill a terminator with his lasgun ... look on in amazement as he's charged by the squad and kills a further terminator ... then be scared as the other terminators miss him, faill their moral test and run away but find they're Trapped and they die or give up or something ... amazingly lucky but i don't think my conscripts have ever killed more people in game (i tend to just use them as way of blocking my flank)

I've found that Lasguns can be deceivingly powerful. The other day I was playing my Tau army against my friends Imp. Guard. It was four normal Guardsmen with Lasguns against my HQ Which was one Shas'O Crisis Suit and two Shas'vre Crisis body guards.
My friend: "Okay I get 4 lasgun shots."

He proceedes to kill one shield drone and put 2 wounds on my Shas'O.

How about using the las-gun as the most efficient infantry weapon ever created; cheap to make, with a large ammuntion capacity and an ability to regenerate ammunition through solar power, regular charge ports and thermal energy. Powerful enough to remove a man's arm, yet divorced from supply trains and, with next to no moving parts, easily repairable and maintainable. Almost perfectly accurate in normal conditions, completely unaffected by gravity, and with a built in tracer, it can fire on multiple power settings, in semi-auto and (on some models) fully automatic. With only a few real variants in the entirety of the galaxy and almost all of them running on standard 19 megathule power packs, the parts and power packs for these weapons are fairly standardized, removing a massive element of organization during massive crusades or campaigns. It cannot be tracked by the rounds they fire and can be converted into sniper rifles, battle rifles, submachine guns, carbines and assault weapons with simple kits. Frankly, it might just be the best weapon ever invented, even if the grunts using it don't feel that way.

I think las guns in the board game SUCK compared to the books. Yes in the books everyone loves the little torch. But on the board game you can have so many that if they were stronger we would all be playing guard in place of marines. Think of it. 50 men for 1 troop choice? The Enemies need some hope people!

Thats because in the book it wouldn't be as fun like this:

Imp Monkey 2: "Fire your lasguns at them"
Comissar: "Hold the lines and keep firing!"
Imp Monkey 1: "Its no good, its just making them mad"
Imp Monkey 2: "They're not even getting blinded now!"
*they all wet themselves and die when the orks hit them*
Not so good that way is it?

I would love a las gun, so i could annoy my neighbours with its constant whining. Even space marines use las guns during battles (read the Blood Angels series, one of them runs out of heavy bolter ammo and gets stuck with a las pistol as a replacement.) In the books the las gun is ever so slightly feared.

True, except for one small niggling detail; weapons do damage. The last time I checked, a flashlight, even if waved in an angry and menacing manner, fails to meet those criteria.

I've got it! Lasguns are a terror weapon. Think about it, laser dot sights are usually suck to really big and nasty guns, so they see all the guard firing laser dots at them they may think that they actually have alot more biggger guns and that if they take aim the lasgun (now believed by the enemy to be the marker for a large and nasty bolter or something) makes them run off before they get fired upon.

about lasguns being more powerful in the fluff i think its true
because of the way a lasgun works when it goes into a body it makes a cut all the way through in the axact diameter to the round
so it is very powerful it just doesnt cause the massive collateral damage that a boltgun does so the person being shot will have a hole through them but will still be able to operate at least until the end of the game
if im being stupid sorry

Actually if you fire a bolt gun at point blank range it will go staight though them, as it explodes 0.001 seconds after impact and at point blank range it travels fast enough to go through a person and explode 2.5 feet behind them, maybe in another person.

No,boltpistols and bolters are only available to humans because their arm did not break from firing.
The possibility to dislocate or break limbs is neglible compared to missing.
Main users are Marines and they shouldnt lack the strength.
Laser energy dissipates when hitting and therefore its no shoot " 3 in a row" .
Massive shells do already penetrate multiple targets if their kinetic force is high enough.

So are Leman Russ's now just Ice Cream distributers? Playing annoying music to everyone but Slaanesh, driving the enemy mad before drowning them in gooey iceyness?

Nasty gun, dont forget that it slows the enemy down, because they have to crawl through it.

In my past game, lasguns put the final wounds on both of my opponents daemon princes.... and that's only firing 3 of them at each one...... never underestimate the power of a lasgun to the eye.

Aye that happens alot. Like the 3rd Ed fexs and rants when they only had a 5+ Invunerable. Always in a game there is the one off las gun shot.

Well whatever ... at least the lasgun has no recoil and there are 3 on each side on a chimera ...
... besides
with the new ed it isn't that bad ... imagine you plan to fire while moving, you have your multilaser, storm bolter / heavy stubber and 3 Lasrifles.
So the las is to blinding them for several seconds by shooting into their eyes. the multilaser is to make them angry by causing minor gangrenous spots and the storm bolter to make them real angry ... well ... this sounds like a plan to me xD

Ice cream gun special rule:
Any non-vehicle model hit by the template must roll a D6. If they roll higher than their toughness, they suffer Instant Death due to brain freeze. Vehicles instead suffer a stunned hit as the crew enjoy the icy treat.

Wow Killer brain freeze. What about Necrons? They have no brains to freeze?

They should be like an alternate ammo for Basilisks or Demolishers. Costs +10 pts for vanilla, +15 for strawberry, and +20 for chocolate. Other flavours cost 30 pts.

What is the difference? Besides having happy guardsmen?

Post by: Cheese Elemental
If your guardsmen are happy, they become fearless and gain WS/BS 6, 8 Strength, 8 Toughness, and enemies in 24" must make a leadership test or succumb to an invitation to enjoy some ice-cream.

temporarily blinding that hawt sister of battle or repentia so you and your mates can check her out/cop a feel without getting your heads rippedthe F off
preserving the eldars sense of superiority (another ap- weapon, and with less strength)
Mechanicus is having a sale... "buy 50000000000 get 1 free baneblade (lasgun batteries and baneblade weapons not included)"
 , crons dont get cogseses clogged up by the ice cream, the ice cream seaps into their hard drives and brings up a pc error, depending on OS provider:
Windows: "Windows Vista has encountered a fatal error, please re-install OS to continue"
Mac: "additional souls required to continue running OS 10, please send souls to Steve Jobs via UPS or FedEx express to continue service"
Linux: "download/install files corrupted, please re-download and re-install"
(Necrons are really the ancient and powerful warriors of the great ancient OS wars, Jobs, Gates, and the guy who came up with their respecite OS's are all C'Tan, no one remembers who became which C'Tan tho, much has been lost from those dark days...)
