See Bill Clinton I think said a beam of light came out of nowhere and blasted his zipper down while he was standing in front of that brothel.

too bad there is no way to mix in some visible light so it looks like a nice ray gun
maybe in the fog of battle there will be enough dust to show it

destroyed its target in a “matter of seconds,” The enemy will now be quaking in their boots anytime they take a truck, tilt it up on a stool or stand, so that its hood faces the laser, and keeps it stationary for a matter of seconds.

I see they had the target still and tilted for effect - I wonder what the dynamics are if the target is moving and must be tracked to keep the beam focused on one spot long enough to do its thing.

This looks like one of those perfect conditions tests. How does it work in a sand storm or rain storm. Or on a moving platform...Someone mentioned what happens if the have a mirror mounted on the target?

Make sure this was not an NBC report. There could have been six pounds of C4 planted under the dash.
