A '''Lightsaber''' is a solid, despite its laser-like appearance, weapon used by the [[Smitty and URL|police]]. It is similar to a nightstick or baton in manner and is used by hitting the subject. A variant of it was made which instead of being hard emits a laser to cut through most surfaces. This model can be used as a hitting stick for a {{w|Piñata}}, a cooking implement for peeling potatoes, dueling with, and for cutting through spaceships. [[Martians]] use similar objects for arrows.
