Oh no, you're not out of line, like I said I was trying my best not to be rude. I honestly didn't know what you were referring to so I was lost in trying to figure out what you were trying to express. I do get your point though with it now. So again thank you for all that.
 
The photonics make sense as a utility tool, since it allows us to use simple tools that regular soldiers might need without having to think of carrying everything. Its a nice anti-frustration feature for those of us who cannot be meticulous over a text format.

My biggest concern with using them for weapons is the simple fact the only reason I know of this is because Wes said so. I have only his word and for all I know tomorrow that might be rescinded, or someone might invoke a higher canonical law. Nothing on the wiki defines their use or killing ability. Even if I have an okay idea of that, without anything concrete to refer to it would be all too easy for me to declare an action that would be outside that and cause an extended argument. I also don't know how elaborate these weapons can be, or if any limitations to their shape are in order.

So yeah, with so many questions I can't consider them something I really want to make extensive use of because I'll likely shove my foot down my throat. The solid volumetrics page is more technical fluff than anything, which doesn't help any.
 
Of course we do.

The last time I showed the Daisy, powered armored Legionnaires were all decked up in it. The Miharu Clan's ace, Nimura, was using a Daisy 1A during that same incident and went "Omae wa shinderu" on several opponents then too.

Will we be getting any literature on the wiki to codify using photonics for weapon constructs?

I'd be a lot happier about it if I didn't have to worry about that getting stepped back the very next day.
