Why do i shoot through the shields of players with my shotgun and plasma cannon you ask? Ask no more...scientists have an answer...
Dropsuit projected shield fields are technically near perfect fermi liquids of quark gluon plasma. They are maintained as a result of a kind of quantum force friction from electro-magnets thanks to dropsuit capacitors.
When fermi liquids interact with low temperature, low density objects such as most environmental materials, the materials become unstable for a split second while the dense cloud of fermions 'propogate' their mass-energy. However, the surrounding propogated mass becomes dense with quasiparticles prohibiting further fermion drain. This is why dropsuits often 'stick' to environmental materials.
However, when dense objects with very high kinetic energy enter the fermi liquid field, quasiparticals dissapate much faster and actual mass is added to these projectiles reducing their internia. This results in either particle scattering in the case of magnetized ammunition (plasma or rail), or kinetic mass-energy dilution in the case of mass projectile weapons.
In a vaccuum at least, low speed plasma projectiles states interact with fermi-liquids in a different way. Their high density and high energy state makes them practically invisible to the strong and weak forces within the fermi-field. And since the quark-gluon plasma is effectively a kind of quantum force camoflage for the dropsuit (with regard to normal plasma and disassociated electrons), plasma can pass through the entire cloud as if the dropsuit does not exist.
It is ironic then that a plasma cannon is considered to be such a successful shield destroyer, but the real magic happens when the plasma's outer shell becomes entangled with surrounding protons in the air. If polarized correctly upon entrance into the dropsuit's shield the low speed plasma charge carries with it a cloud of protons about 100 times the mass of the charge itself. It is impossible to know the charged state of the charge itself as any time as it is always existing in a kind of quantum polarity. |
