you can throw each and everyone of those calculators into the trashbin as nobody really has any clue how they work, what the energy input/output ratios are, what explosives are used, etc....

you can throw wild guesses at one another all you like, you are still in baseless garbage territory.

and sidenote: instantaneous is also amusing but does not work, especially not if you had paid some attention in physics classes, You are talking about ship to ship combat by 2 moving ships which travel at a % of lightspeed, and we are talking tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of kilometers between them. Alas, a projectile will have an actual speed, which will be lower than lightspeed (which is the "projectile speed" of any laser weapon) but since you try to shoot a moving target from a moving target over a long distane and have to calculate in possible course changes, etc.. using projectiles under such conditions is rather foolish
