You have one now and it only has charge for 12 shots. You want to make the most of them. What do?

[sup][sup]Don't you be breaking laws now.... You hooligans.[/sup][/sup]

EDIT: 12 functional portals.

First thing first-

1- My seat and to the toliet.

As for the others-

2- My house and to work. Yes I'm lazy especially when it only take me 25 minutes to get there and I know other have longer travel time to work (like it take my bro 2 hours to go to work!).

3- My town and to the one city I visit the most. Scew your train fare and 2 hours on the travel time!

As for the remaining shots, I will have to think more about it.

Get out my debit card and visa. Travel to the two most used airports from different continents, and link them together with a portal. Charge a couple hundred bucks per person to travel through my portal, rather then suffer a 12 hour flight. Become a billionaire and don't touch the other 10 portals.

Twelve shots... so, is that six two-way portals (two shots each), or are we counting that as twelve two-way portals?

Assuming I have six two-way portals to make...

1-- Current Home to Work (in my locker or something, so I don't have colleagues wandering through into my flat). Cut out my hellish morning commute.

2-- Current Home to Family House

3-- Something exciting! Leave a portal here in the UK, then travel somewhere-- maybe Japan-- and plop one there. Leave open to pop back and forth.

4-- I would offer my fourth charge to NASA, for SCIENCE. Tell them they can open one on the moon or something. Progress scientific enquiry no end.

5-- Sell my fifth charge for megabux.

6-- Oh, hell, I don't know. It's pretty far from my desk to my bed. Several metres. I'd use my last charge for that I guess.

12 blue shots -and- 12 orange shots? Or, 12 blue -or- orange shots? Or, just 6 portal connections?
If I link a blue and orange shot, are they permanent or are the replaced with new shots?
What gets to pass through the portal? If I shot put a blue shot on Earth and the orange shot on the moon, would out atmosphere be sucked into the vacuum of space? If I out the orange shot on the sun, would it burn off the atmosphere/radiate the planet?

Yeah, perhaps it's best if I not be given a Portal gun. My curiosity would most likely doom us all. Or, give us unlimited power. Which ever comes first.

You fool! You have now revealed your plan so now I plan on undercutting your plan by charging a couple hundred bucks minus a dollar! I'll make billions and you'll be poor!

Wha ha haaaaaa!

Realistically simply letting anyone else know would attract about a billion people to your ass, so I'll take the liberty of making my own laws with the thing. Also as far as I know the gun can have only two portals active simultaneously. Just to see if it works I'd first get Breivik out of prison - I reckon the old laws treated him unfairly anyway. It's a Norwegian prison, can't be too hard to aim the thing at the cell wall. I'd disguise the portal gun as an orthopedic cast. So 1. to the prison and 2. to the nearest incinerator.

I'd pick the biggest art treasure I could take and take it (too bad there's armoured glass covers in a lot of places). So 3. to my place and the 4. to wherever needed.

I actually can't even think of a decent place to rob for actual monetary gain. It's not like anyone's going to leave me alone with a bajillion lying around. I'd try anyway. 5. into a "jewel emporioum" or something.

I can't even think of a good place for the sixth one. Maybe I want to read some mail. 6. to the bottom of a mailbox.

I've always wanted to solve a refugee crisis. So 7. to the biggest refugee camp in the Middle East and 8. to Reykjavik.

I don't like how the Statue of Liberty looks on Ellis Island. So 9. to the inside of an active volcano and 10. onto the statue.

Finally I'd shoot two portals in a vertical line, undo my belt, lean in and change pants without having to look down. So that's 11. and 12. and never remove these two.

That would become quite a stand-off. Others contemplate on not paying while you threaten to close the portal at any time.

I think a lot of people are losing sight of the fact that a portal gun can only sustain a single actual portal at a time, so you can't have multiple portals open at the same time, thus killing many of the ideas above.

As for mine...I'll have to think about it.
