so the idea of the two lazers meeting mid stream as it were would super intensify the power of the lazers sight of contact
on the mollicules within the air possibly being able to cause sone form of "explosion" well not really but super heated gass
which is what the air arround the points of contact could in theary become is technically plasma, so this could bring about an
interesting tactic of two lazers in the same team strategically doing the ghostbusters thing to effectivly create small plasma pockets on the battle field, not this is only possible for sustaind crossing of the streams , as the light would need to focus on the one spot for several seconds at least. this is all just theary however, Experaments in our time have now shown light to have some of the properties of corporial matter for instence there has been experaments using glass beads just under a nanometer in size where lazers have been used to rearange there pattern look it up on youtube its really quite cool , so if the lazers in this hae some sort of physicle mater like properties it would be entirely possible for a feed back loop to formthere by intensifying the return beam with the strength of the two beams combind back into the lazer rifle, this is all just theory however is a cool thought to ponder over .
From my understanding of the real world, "lazer" isn't a word. LASER is an acronym, and as I keep saying, no matter how American you may think you are, "ztimulated" is still not a real word - even in America.
But the power of two Laser weapons with their beams "crossing" would only double the amount of heat generated in that pocket of air. Since the primary heat generation is delivered to the target, rather than to the air between firer and target, this would be a negligible heat increase. It doesn't really make sense for the laser to be producing plasma in mid-air unless there are plasma explosions on the target just from the heat generated by a single beam.
