High energy Tactical laser!! COOL!!!

I'm sure setting things on fire from a distance can be done with something much simpler. Tracking a missile or shell in flight is the difficult part here i think.

If someone wants to shoot at people i guess a decent industrial size CO2 laser would suffice, and be lot easier to obtain. That said, a gun would be cheaper, more compact and probably more effective - lasers as offensive weapons aren't much of a concern.

Yea but if you already have it....why not?

It's a Chemical Laser last time I checked...

I'm convinced scaler telsawaves from the nonelected USA devils financed by drugs and special op earmark funds vaporized the trade tower to smitherines. Terrorizim is a excuse to take our freedom away for our own safety. They are going to protect us from themselves. Are we going to let them fool us?

those lasers are definitely chemical beam lasers. may not be CO2 though. might be chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL), or deuterium fluoride laser.
