Yes, pretty much.

I thought of doing that, but this was meant to be just an hour or so of
entertainment. I'll see if it improves things though.

Ha! If you do this, you may as well shoot photons and ditch the cylinders
altogether. You could use lenses then too.

Cool. Isn't it supposed to explode at the end?
or is that just all the more S for your ER?

Looks good -- although it seems to me like the laserbeam is hitting the
little mirror on the center left for quite a while without a reflected beam

It it would be powerful to explode something at the end, it wouldn't be a
very smart idea to reflect it straight back at the laser emitter, like it
does at the very beginning of the animation. :-)
