You are absolutely right, I blame my fuzzy PAL video copy.

Pretty useful these EA weapons.
 
Perhaps the Lasers are a shorter ranged but more destructive application
of
the Pulse Cannon.
The 'Alexander' seemed to need to get pretty close to the
'Agrippa/Roanoke'
before she was 'in range' (I know cinematic licence, but!!)

Some chance, no licence in the UK, any chance anyone across the pond
could
help me out?
May be able to help you with wants in the UK. (However don't want to get
anyone in trouble with the FBI)
