Laser Rifles.

[Zorro]

Yeah. I Just made a 1 KW Laser Rifle. My Focus sucks and It can get just one shot an Hour.

But that is how Firearms began.

So...National Laser Association?

Be serious. You need a plasma rifle in the 40 MW range.

For $12 Million Raytheon has a 10KW laser that will take down an aircraft.
They just deployed 2 of them to ________ with a support team.
They can fire continuously.
Give them a call and let us know how that works out for you.

This thread from about a year ago discussed laser weapons.
The USS Ponce had a laser weapon on board but I don't know if it (or any laser weapon) has ever been used for real...with the exception of laser designators. The Ponce is no longer in service and MTT TL mentioned the laser weapon had been moved to the USS Portland.

I wanted a laser pointer, but that's different I guess.

I thought lasers would be a huge problem by now

I'm holding out for a BFG9000.

Fun, but not really gun-related.
