what i never figured out about this teleporter sniper rifle is why they even need a rifle at all. if they have the ability to teleport a bullet just to the other side of someone's personal shield, why can't they just teleport a tribble into their brain cavity or something

The ability to selectively teleport matter is likely more effective/deadly than lasers anyhow. Just make a gun that grabs a melon sized chunk of matter and teleports it 2cm in a random direction. Good luck building armor against that, too

I saw Edge of Tomorrow. it was pretty bad. Groundhog Day with spacemonsters. lots of stuff blowing up and some cool alien monsters, but very light on the sci-fi.

Shaggar posted:transporters are universe breaking so they just ignore all of the worst offenses (most of the time) what's insane is that "the transporter is too good" was a known quantity decades ago. people already figured out that star trek was relying too much on "the away party gets bonked on the head, or super-aliens overpower the enterprise, so scotty can't just yank 'em out of the jeopardy of the week". and what do TNG and the follow-on series do? they add even more poo poo the transporter can do. and even worse they make it a trivially miniaturizable thing, so you can pack transporters onto shuttlecraft, or into a rifle (???), or into a little loving lapel pin (?????????) and then voyager somehow got bored with that and went all "ADD MORE  "
