Inspired by a Reddit post...
PNQ: If you were being shot by many phasers set on stun simultaneously, how many would it take to be lethal?
The Undiscovered Country says that a phaser on stun at close range can kill, but I'm talking normal phaser range, say a dozen feet.
It stands to reason that phaser power dissipates with distance, but how fast?
My gut says about a dozen stun beams is fatal.
