      Yeah, and it got me thinking if there was a self-powering weapon like that the part you'd have to start replacing would be some kind of fuse that absorbs transients between the generator and the output. In Evangelion an HID rifle is shown (mecha sized) and it's "round" is actually a fuse/bus that works by turning to plasma during the weapon's cycle in a Z-machine like fashion; the plasma then acts as the actual conductor, naturally this works once and is ejected like a rifle cartridge. It does imply large and routine variations between the generator's output and the weapon's intended or at least maximum output but that could very well be the nature of energy weapons, getting at the unstable Big Energy and weaponizing it at all would be the point of even making a real one rather than finding a way to reinvent the wheel so to speak.

    Nod will always have the superior laser and stealth tech, because they were the focus of Kane's research aside from tiberium. It's as if he knows how such technology should work and is trying to recreate them from scratch.

      Those lasers are superior only because the C&C universe doesn't allow GDI to use ceramic composite armor and highly polished surfaces. Hell, even a fog machine or glass of water can defeat a laser. I imagine a real GDI assault against an Obelisk would include stopping at the local Party City before going to the assault staging area.

      @@StudleyDuderight This comment maybe 6 months old, but I don't think "lasers" in C&C are similar in function and misidentification to "turbolaers" and "lightsabers" with the former NOT being a laser at all (more like a condensed plasma bolt with the yield of a missile and an ammo capacity of a practically unlimited) and the latter is not made of light as all (at least when you compare it to light constructs of the forerunner) .
      If anything it's or sensibly should be a plasma beam of death accelerated accelerated really quickly and as we all know in most cases plasam > solid projectile in a lot of scenarios. Then again, it's Kane we're talking about so at worse he's found a way to make lasers breaks through such things like fog or primitive composite and highgly polished armor

      sound theory only problem is you need to keep the plasma in an contained magnetic field otherwise it disperses way to quick turning your whole plasma gun at worst into an glorified hair dryer. Though those contaiment fields should be reverse engenerable from the banshee and cyborg commando units from the second triberium war... then again it is more likely that NOD would reverse engwneer railgun tech before GDI gets two extrem high techs from NOD

      You mean the Confessor Cabal Squad? They are upgraded with "Charged Particle Beam" weapons. Particle beams and lasers aren't exactly the same thing. I was originally going to include them in the video but decided it would be better to do a separate video with particle beam and ion weapons together.

    In the Obelisk of Light, I see the clear tubes as being the gases used to power the laser, as there are chemical pumped lasers, many of them using singlet oxygen as fuel.

    Laser turrets in C&C 3 might have underground manufacturing plant built in, that requires central hub to provide energy and materials to rebuild lost turrets. They can recycle remains of old turret and place new ones through whatever system was used previously to hide turrets. Obelisk-specific and overall maintenance details are probably omitted since they are not that interesting, or buildings and equipment tend to be lost in combat before something important breaks down from use.
