Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="E. L. Koba"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]If you're wondering, in the books the three biggest weapons are shields, lasguns, and planet-cracking nukes. Shields bounce off nearly any fast-moving projectile, only carefully slow ones can penetrate. Lasguns cut through anything, but if they connect with a shield, they cause a small scale nuclear explosion, so they're only used in very limited circumstances. (There's a scene in the book where Duncan Idaho takes out a pursuing group of Sardaukar with lasguns by setting up a shield that blows up in their faces.) So fighting in this universe is primarily done through hand-to-hand combat by soldiers who know how to parry fast to activate their shields but attack slow to penetrate.[/quote] I thought it was fine they didn't explain any of this? Today's movie going normie has been conditioned to accept that a dude with a bow and arrow can fight on even terms with a guy in a flying power suit, and also a literal god. So for normies all you need is a quick demo of the shields... while most nerds already understand the Dune mechanics[/quote]
