[SUGGESTION] Weapons function

Don't make this personal, that will lead nowhere.
Personally, making the laser do 40 damage (!) will, in my opinion, slow the game down an assload. FC's take a lot of fire when running the flag, even when supported (flag run when other team is camping with the lead). If laser did that much damage, if you have two more or less equal teams, you might get a cap every 10 minutes, and a whole lot more ragequits.
Regarding attracting mainstream players, I showed my friend nexuiz. He said that "all you have to do is hold space and fire". The mainstream plays games where you run up somewhere, hide behind a box, crouching, then fire one bullet, and then lather rinse and repeat. Is that what you want for xonotic? Because that is what it has to be to attract the average gamer.

I'll make this my last post on this then I'll probably set up another thread with actual weapon functions which I make.

I did not say it HAS to do 40 damage I said if you started with 100 health then 40 dmg it could do..in nexuiz you start with 150 in Xonotic will we also start with 150.. I have no idea, the point is, no one gives any other suggestions and say "hey kojn, I think your a smeghead, however I don't like 40 damage thats too much but what about say 25 if you started with 100 health?"

This is why this WILL be my last post on this matter and this thread otherwise i'm just as guilty as dragging it off-topic (which I am already AM guilty of if i'm being honest).
