If You had a Portal Gun...

here's something that you could try:
point the portal gun up, and fire one off into the sky...... millions or perhaps billions of light years away, a portal would form on the first solid object larger than a person that the beam encountered.
of course, you run a slight risk there, because, say, if the object encountered was a star, as soon as you opened the second portal here on earth, boom, insta-death for all.
otherwise though, interesting idea, and with some actual calculations, could be used to travel huge distances across space effortlessly. global warming wouldn't be an issue for long, if there was a second planet on the cards. the human race would put its efforts into space travel and technology instead of meaningless civil wars. governments would compete to create the best habitable environments on other worlds, and in doing so, secure building rights on alien real-estate.
failing that, of course, become the richest and most famous person who has ever lived and who will ever live by making the first viable perpetual motion machine. infinite energy for the win.
and failing THAT, i'd start using it for my everyday life. i'd think with portals. stairs? just a convenient way to accelerate myself. doors? peh. i laugh in the face of doors. traveling anywhere? stick a portal on the side of a train and go for a coffee somewhere. an hour later, boom..... you're there.
the portal gun is the most fun game-item-when-imagined-in-real-life ever ever ever.

I would use it perhaps only once. I'd attach a door to a blank wall in my house. *whop* blue portal there. Get on a plane, one way, to new zealand and build another door in my sister's or mum's house. *whop* orange portal. I could then travel between countries in an instant.
That or just random things like making people who piss me off fall endlessly or simply shortening the trip to work.

I'd patent the technology and sell it to the British army for a MASSIVE amount of money, on the condition they keep it as secret as possible and don't sell it to ANYONE else, or tell anyone else about it, especially the americans. Then I'd just piss around with it.
Put one portal at the ground floor infront of lift door, and another at the top - reinventing the 'wall infront of a lift door' prank
Bugger all - portals only work on stable surfaces - if a surface can't support the shape of the portal, or moves, it collapses harmlessly.
So, really, all you'd do it shoot someone with either ornage of blue light and leave them feeling mildly perplexed.

Perplexed is good enough. might be able to convince people I just gave them AidsSurggical_Scar post=18.71435.726899 said:
Them:"What'd you just shoot me with?!?"
Me:"Aids"
Them:"WHAT?!?"
Me:"Yep, enjoy

It would be great if you had an itchy or sore back - you could stand in a narrow space with a portal in front and behind you and scratch your back from in front of yourself.
Put one in the front of my pants, and one in the front of my girlfriend's pants.
Or back, whatever floats your boat.
Yeah, I went there.

one under a net covered with leaves in the middle of the high street the other at the bottom of a swiming pool the best prank ever.
Thats a tough one... But I'll probaly put a portal on my house and my moms house and make her come and cook dinner for me!
sell it to the government to be used as shields for buildings. Imagine if during 9/11 a portal was shot right in front of one of the planes and then it slammed right into China, or into north korea, or into the crotch of your childhood bully.
