The aforementioned Ed McGivern was once asked if he could beat the Old West legends in a gun fight. He replied that he was fast enough but that he would probably lose because he was not a killer, and they were.
FWIW, a calrotic pistol is sort of like the old-fashioned phaser except that it discharges a beam of intense heat that slices through anything in its path. Its range is almost limitless and there is no drop, so fixed sights are adequate.
(Of course it can be anything I want, since I am making it up, but then people do that all the time as I find out in discussions of the latest and greatest wonder guns.)
