The beam advances one stage each frame and is taken off the screen once it reaches this figure, so the value is a lifetime in game frames — fifteen to the second. It governs only the colored line; the screen glow that accompanies a laser shot fades on its own fixed schedule of about 22 frames.

Like the rest of the beam settings, the figure is taken from the weapon in the object’s first slot whichever slot actually fired.
