How do you assign factual numbers and equations to things that don't actually exist and for technology that we have no way of truly understanding how any of it works let alone what it is all capable of
But how do you even know what it is actually capable of doing? Since half of the technology and items used in both "make-believe" worlds in now way exist in our world.
ok still not really answering the question. Lets you wacth me break a rock with a sledge hammer. You have no way of knowing if i used minimal force to break it or if i used all my force to break it. All you know is I broke a rock with a sledge hammer. (I know it not a perfect example) So in this same vein how do you know what power level weapons are fireing at and if they are at maximum or minimal or somewhere in between and what said weapons are capable of.
Ok for that one scene what about others? What about 40K where things change depending on the edition and author? Plus very very very few motion picture examples like star wars. Which seems to be the only thing you know about and so in no way could you give any unbiased opinion.
Ok but in your opening post you were offering to run the numbers. But you just stated that your knowledge lies with SW and not in 40K. Infact you want somebody else to do all the number crunching for 40K. Very well I will do my "math" and you can do yours.
bolt pistol power = infinty
bolter power = inifinty
lascannon power = infinity
All im saying is fake math is fake math regardless of how fancy you make it. and that is exactly what my basis was. Your makeing up numbers for things that do not exist except in the imagination of the creators and fans and so therefore can not be assigned any value in the real world because it is not real. So I used my imaginary numbers and imaginary facts to come up with my imiginary facts to dispute your imiginary numbers.
