[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Phasers do have a kick, even though it only manifests at the receiving end... I'd say recoil is a null and void issue in starship weapon applications, because starships already control their inertia by artificial means and routinely defy Newton's laws. And apparently recoil is similarly under control in handguns, be they phasers or plasma throwers. Indeed, one might surmise that both phasers and plasma guns have immense kick, which just happens to be negated by subspace fields or whatever. We have seen a hand phaser send a heavily built man flying through the air (ST3), and hits from plasma pistols can also topple a big brute as if he were hit by a .50 cal rifle bullet.
