|

Well, I often asked myself what are the effects of an exposition to a vaccum.
Here is an answer from the NASA :
http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/970603.html
So, no freezing, no explosion, but a rapid loss of consciousness (and obviously death from the lack of air after some minutes...) |

No explosive decompression? No instant space-cicles? Bummer.
So much for a cool death in the vacuum of space. Guess I'll have to shoot them with the Superlaser... ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ Aha! |

Rounds being 5 seconds? Hell no. Humans are pretty resilient. Now, if you have a species used to a much higher atmospheric pressure, then you can get some of the more gruesome effects. _________________ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. |
