Ssi-ruuvi Ion Paddle Beamer-Lightfoil Hybrid

I want to make this happen.

Essentially, it's a non-lethal "lightsaber" that ignores shields, armor, and most lightsabers to cause minor paralysis at the point of contact, that is usable by NFU's. There would be weaknesses of course, since a weapon off of that description alone would be ridiculously overpowered,

However, Triam has NEVER made something without some sort of prior experience to the technological idea's she is borrowing from to innovate, and I also see that this is going to probably require MAJOR development given that it's trying to convert an unconventional ranged weapon into a lightsaber variant usable by even NFU's that has a ton of advantages.

So! With that said, is there anyone that is familiar with this technology that could possibly give her first hand experience with? Maybe someone could give her an ion paddlin' or something, and another person could impress her with a blade even she could use with some work.

:D

Using a lightfoil?

[member="Lily Kirsche Kuhn"] Well the maximum range of a Paddle Beamer is relatively short (optimum at 8 meters), and most lightsaber blade lengths are typically around a meter and a half, so it will be a stretch to try and turn it into a melee weapon. If Paddle Beamers use ions to affect the central nervous system, could it be possible to hold it within some kind of field when the power output is decreased and the range minimized? Or would that not work since it's stated they ignore conventional shielding, as well as lightsabers (and presumably their magnetic field)?

Oh oh! Wait, what if the lightfoils saber field is specially tuned to paddle beamers, and instead of emitting a plasmic blade it instead emits a continuous Paddle Beam contained in blade form? Thus, like a lightsaber, an object will pass through the field to interact with the paddle beam! Booyashaka!

Would it be too much to ask for a lightfoil that holds this function, and the ability to revert into a normal lightfoil? I still want it to at least function somewhat like an actual melee weapon... otherwise I'd just get a normal paddle beamer.

Well since we both have companies that specialize in the field of blowing stuff up, I say the best plats to start and dev something like this is after a lot of drinks at a convention lol
