The type of shot that is refreshing/makes you feel good in situations like being under the sun and drinking a can of 200ml ice tea to refresh your whole body (or your mouth, both is good).
Joe: Thank god I got the energy shot to keep me going. I was DYING under the tense heat.
Joe 2: ok.
A close‑quarters directed‑energy weapon that emits a wide cone of plasma, microwave radiation, or particle scatter. Unlike a ballistic shotgun, an energy shotgun has no pellets to reload; instead, it dumps a capacitor bank into a dispersal lens. At short range, it can flash‑vaporize clothing, disable electronics, or give an opponent a really bad sunburn. Effective against rioters, hostile cyborgs, and anyone who thinks “get off my lawn” is just a saying. Just don’t stand behind the target – the backscatter is real.
Energy Shotguns Example: “He kicked the door open and fired the energy shotgun. The room’s occupants weren’t dead, but their phones, radios, and pacemakers were. Negotiations became surprisingly civil.”
A close‑range directed‑energy weapon that emits a wide cone of microwave or low‑intensity laser radiation. Unlike plasma shotguns, energy‑directed shotguns do less thermal damage but are more effective against electronics and nerves. They can cause intense pain, disable vehicles, or detonate explosives from a safe distance. Police forces love them for “less lethal” options. The beam spread is adjustable from narrow (a “laser flechette”) to wide (a “microwave broil”).
Energy-Directed Shotguns Example: “The security guard fired the energy‑directed shotgun into the crowd. Everyone’s phones and watches died instantly. The rioters, suddenly disconnected, paused long enough for negotiators to move in.”
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
