This could have been useful as a "enhanced interrogation" device....

It might work a few times or last several years.

HF stuff is a roll of the dice.

Slice? Maybe if hooked to a nuclear reactor. Punch holes? Absolutely.

I’d like to see this sort of technology incorporated into power tools. Instead of lugging around a 15 lb worm drive Skilsaw, it would be a 5 lb laser saw with a 12 inch cut depth. Or instead of using a heavy and noisy chainsaw, how about some kind of light saber like tool for cutting down trees or bucking up firewood. How about a laser drill press or hand held “drill” using lasers.

While their at it, make laser machetes. They could market them as "light sabers."

We just need to make something bigger, badder, faster, and more lethal. And while we’re at it, clamp down on sensitive technology transfers to china through scholastic espionage, and root out spies at our national labs.

“It would seem to me that any reasonable amount of battlefield dust or smoke would diffuse ...”

Possibly a laser that powerful would vaporize dust/smoke/fog that was in it’s way - up to a certain point.

The shell of a car is very thin metal compared to the shell of an armored vehicle or tank.

In any event, I wouldn’t want that thing pointed at me.

[SpaceBar]

Just one more step towards the opening scenes of the first Terminator film.

[wally_bert]

Destro’s mask with enough polish might be a viable defense.

I’m sure someone else has already thought of this, but how about shooting out a cloud of miniature corner cube retroreflectors when a laser strike is detected? Unless the laser pulse is very short, the beam will be reflected BACK where it came from, albeit much distorted.

Hope the Chinese don’t get any ideas from the old Star Blazers.

The Gamelons used mirrors.

Over? With 1 kilometer range the horizon will not even be getting nervous.

“Do you expect me to talk Goldfinger”? “No Mr. Bond...I expect you to die!!” Classic!

They sent their kids to US universities..................

[xkaydet65]

Always wondered if they paid the Japanese production company copyright fees for the name.

I can’t watch YouTube unless I go somewhere with public wifi, it just uses up my data plan way too fast.

“They sent their kids to US universities..................”

Yep, and the Uniparty is just fine with it. No need for background checks for ANYBODY who wants to come into our country.
