No, that one would be bigger. Harder job. Converting material is the most difficult thing to do.
Wait, then which one was lighter-sized? And how big would the hydrogenizing one be?
"Transmuting into hydrogen?"
A bit clunky, but it works I guess.
Nuuuuh. Has to be a confined area. Beams have no end. It would just convert everything forever in that direction. Nuuuuh.
Damn my poor word choice! It's supposed to end after 20 meters.
Nuuuuh. They only target in relation to themselves and always the same way.
Darn.
Armor? What?
Oh, right, you can't be expected to remember what I was doing last time. You're busy.
I was asking what kind of armor the battlesuits we're supposed to be penetrating are.
Make an automanip that transmutes a 1-cm-wide, 20-meter-long cylinder in front of it into hydrogen. Determine how big it is, and if it could be made to fit in/as part of a pistol/rifle/whatever frame. If so, put a laser sight on it (again, not a weapon you want to miss with) and test it out on a guy in a battlesuit, to see how well it works. Estimate cost of setup.
In case this doesn't Because this probably won't work efficiently, also work on something else. Maybe some kind of armor-piercing nuclear bullet? This would be a lot easier if my inquiry about the armor was understood...
