I am burning you with a laser rifle.
You are taking shield damage. You are glowing blue.
I am burning you with a laser rifle.
You are taking armor damage. Not much is happening.
I am burning you with a laser rifle.
Suddenly, your body and dropsuit split cleanly into two pieces.
I am left wondering what just happened.
Do you see a problem with this scenario? |

Do you see a problem with this scenario? The shield is attempting to deflect the laser, the armor is slowly ablated be the laser, the laser finally finds a weak point then splits the merc in two. There are videos on YT showing lasers first ablating metal and then over time suddenly cutting it, it isn't cut in two lightsaber stuff....
Uh huh, right.

That's not what the OP said.
Are you honestly not seeing a problem? You go from taking no visible damage to having a freaking hole in you from a continuously-fired laser. That's like being on fire and not being burned, and then suddenly turning into a pile of ash. |

I dont see a problem. As long as you are tanking the damage the laser is being kept at bay. The moment your suit fails, the laser comes thru and due its powerful charge does imediate sushi.
So the laser goes from barely doing any damage to a single layer of armor at a single point, to cutting through two layers of armor, with a pile of flesh in between them, at multiple points, therefore causing the dropsuit to spontaneously split apart? Which, furthermore, would mean that you wouldn't be able to be revived without looking incredibly stupid?
That seems logical. /sarcasm |

You haven't read Templar One clearly, the Nanite injector injects NANITES that can repair just about anything from shattered bone to internal bleeding.
It won't reconnect a severed body, though. |
