It's OK if you don't understand.
What would you do with a Portal Gun?

Yes, but there would be air and water on the moon, then.Indigo_Dingo said:
Like, duh. Plus, anything that the moon couldn't hold would probably make its way back to earth, thanks to, y'know, gravity and stuff.
Sorry if that's unsound, but my school didn't let me do three sciences.
But if you opened a portal on the moon with the other portal in, say, the Mariana trench, after all the water had drained to the appropriate level (or possibly all just cascading to earth), the atmosphere would blow through due to the difference in pressure (or be sucked, but Mr Data says blown), meaning there would be no atmosphere to cause friction such that the new torrent of ocean would evaporate in it.Almightyjoe said:
Now, one would also assume that a degree of planning would be made before then, possibly to the level of building giant floating cities (which would obviously need their own atmosphere to float--thus eliminating the worry about decompressing or asphyxiation).
I would use it in the unlikely event I get trapped in an 'Enrichment Centre' and are forced to perform a series of platform puzzlers using the gun under command of a disembodied voice; only for it later to be revealed that the voice is one of a genocidal AI controlling the facility. In the second situation I would, once again, use the device in order to destroy the enemy and escape.
Or something.
Or something.
I would place one of the Portals outside the door to the "Big Brother" house, hidden under a copy of Dr Zhivago (because lets face it, non of the brain dead proles that apply for BB are likely to know what a book is); and the exit would be positioned above the grand canyon where I would charge a nice shiny penny to watch the poor buggers fall to a most amusing death when they come out to tell us all how hard it is sitting on your arse for 2 weeks.

Well, according to this:

The ability to create linked portals allows for two applications of great interest to me, Free Electrical Energy and Free Constant Force. With those two tools in hand it would be easy to cruise around in space and have plenty of energy for whatever it might be needed for.
Hmm, for example I could terraform Venus and have my own planet. It becomes quite possible when you literally have infinite energy to work with.
Everything you'd need to do; spin up the planet to give it a normal day/night cycle, thin it's atmosphere down to Earth like levels, import water, LOTS of water, etc, are all doable when you're thinking with portals!

Use the laws of physics to make a rock slam into my local asshole at 2000 KMPH, or put a portal on the floor of my local games store, pour all the games down there, jump through it (It would be linked to where i live, of course...) and never leave my couch again, well, except when i need to do human stuff, like... Finding more Bacon chips.
Get rid of my bed, shoot a portal at the floor and ceiling, then go to sleep at terminal velocity.
Other then that,
Revolutionise spacetravel, by shooting one portal to a sealed room with an airlock and one at the moon.
Free energy, created by an archaic looking, highly complex overunity machine that disguises the portal totally. You know, to piss off all those people at the nobel prize committee.
