    I can’t remember what it was, but there was a game or a book I played/read where the lasers on battleships were infinite and there’s an argument over why the gunner needed to be precise.

    Not Mass Effect; not the “Sir Issac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in the galaxy” line. Similar thing, but that game world used ballistics, not energy weapons IIRC.

      Horus Heresy had something similar to that. Using their weaponry, I think that the quote was something like you will ruin someone’s day. It might be today or it might be a planet 10000 years from now, so be accurate.
