The banned laser guns in Dune always struck me as a funny choice. If everyone uses shields and laser guns cause them to explode like nukes… those aren’t very good shields are they? And the Harkonnens are going to respect a ban? The Fremen could have used one laser to nuke the Harkonnens but they didn’t because of a ban?

I wish he just hadn’t mentioned lasers at all. Not sure why he felt he had to.
