Laser weaponry in shows simply was just to remove the violence of guns in it.

It’s… honestly incredibly obvious, but then again so are many ‘theories’ on here when there is nothing theoretical about them.

Yes, they sounded like lasers, but they sure as shootin’ didn’t act like lasers. Most lasers I know don’t make a *ping* noise when they bounce off metal. Not to mention that a laser blast would be longer and burn more than Joe and Cobra’s artillery.

So why the colors? Simple; they used tracer rounds. Tracer bullets can leave different colored streaks and are a good way to tell friendly fire from enemy fire in this case. Also, the standard color for American tracer rounds is bright red, just like GI Joe used. I bet they wished they could have used green for Cobra in the show, but then again, since the comparisons to the Russians were already kind of obvious, why further provoke them and the Chinese by using their tracer colors (green) in a children’s cartoon about patriotism? You gotta love democracy.

Anyone more up-to-date on current action shows care to comment? Is using inappropriately sci-fi weaponry still prevalent?
