in theory it can when you shoot a hologram the program should be disturbed and the hologram deactivate himself

depend if say emh doesnt want to be hit then fine nothing happens but if he does which i cant see why but if he does then his program would be deactivated

Did they use real weapons in the Voyager episode "The Killing Game"? I can't remember.

voyagerlr · **Sat Feb 08, 2003 7:14 pm**

no holographic but the safety controls were taken offline!

And to answer any questions that may follow this about "how can you be hurt when you are in the holodeck" is that energy is still energy and energy used in a concentrated projectile manor still hurts just like any other phaser wound.

Holographic bullets kicked that ass in First Contact.

Yup Picard done it in one of his holo novels when he played the charicter DIX

I Think?

voyagerlr · **Sun Mar 23, 2003 5:39 pm**

From what I know, weapons have no effect on holograms. Remember that one episode where the Doctor found out about that one Ensign that died because she and Harry were about to die and he had to choose one of them to save and he chose Harry, well in the shuttle they were in some guy beamed in and shot at all three of them, the doctor wasn't affected.

Absultely Not. You can't! I'm one of many hologram. And you should do something like that. the hologram have heart too!

Can You Shoot A Hologram?

Yes, just shoot at the computer containing it�s data.

It is not solid, It only the the appearence of one. and it can be sustained for as long as the power field holds.

My Verdict:: No. There was one episode, I think its in season 1...The doctor slapped Tom, but tom's hand went through the Doctor.

But, if a hologram is simply made up of light, how can it hold things etc?

you canr shoot a hologram unless it is programmed to die.

Dax Orien · **Tue Jun 03, 2003 9:14 am**

Like I said though, outside their usual programming they can't be shot, unless they're on the holodeck and are tied into the holodeck's matrix.

PicardsTrueLove · **Tue Jun 03, 2003 7:32 pm**

As I understand it, the magnetic fields of the holographic images can be manipulated to make them solid, so a phaser plast would theoretically disrupt an EM field and disperse the photons that the ST writers claim the holograms are made of. However is the hologram was not solid at the time I think the blast would have little effect ont he actual hologram, though it would decimate the active program if the holoemitter was taken out.

Ronevick · **Tue Jun 03, 2003 9:11 pm**

so als u have to do is shoot it i thought u had to like reconfigure ur phaser and stiff(im The Hunter that was my name a year ago but i forgot it thought mine was somethign else and could not log back on as it and i dont even remember my password-lol

)

Lt.BirdGod · **Tue Jun 03, 2003 10:31 pm**

Somewhat, yes. But finding the right frequency, wow. That's like, one in 1^infinite shot. Lol, can you imagine.....

3? No
3.1? No
3.2? No

Hours later.....

I feel your pain. It's like trying to figure out the combination to a safe hidden away somewhere that you are trying to break into.
