Hand beams. You can fire fine point beams with a finger, wide beams with an open palm, more focused beams with a fist, fire in opposite directions at multiple targets without having to turn your head and loose focus on someone you're chasing, and don't have the hindrance of only being able to fire on something that is in line of sight.
Yes there are certain advantages to eyebeams but can you imageine what it would like fighting multiple opponents or trying to hit a fast moving targets.......vertigo.
Hand beams an be used in close combat and ranged combat. With hand beams you dont have to pull a trigger and they are not redundant if your handbeams are more powerful.....oh yeah pistols an be taken off you.
thats why the eye beams are more useful, to ensure you always have more weapons available at any given moment.
two weapons + hand beams gives you 4 weapons in quantity but ony two are available, two weapons + eye beams gives you a total of 3 and all are usable if need be.
Ohhh yeah I'm gonna have to go with handbeams now... I have contacts and i'm sure if i tried to use my i beams with contacts i just have melted plastic stuck to my eye balls.... yeah yea... Handbeams! Are we assuming we get these powers in the real world or if we were comics? ANyway i should have to worry about real life spidermen. I mean if you could generate enough enevr out of your hands would we be able to acquire lift offf?
I think he means when Cyke split the beam to hit both Random and Blob(?) that were around the corner.
I thought it was more of a, the beams hit the wall in such a way to cause the beam to split and ricochet or just that it was two beams(one from each eye) and he just ricocheted them in different directions.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
No sorry the logic does not work because you are giving one example where eybeams would be better but overall hands would be better. Despite this fact most of the time your hands would probably be free and that still does not change the fact that it would be easier to aim and you can aim in more than one direction.
Imagine having to shoot lots of targets or fast targets with eyebeams it would be much more stressful and disorientating.
