it takes a 747 to handle the very heavy equipment required to fire an ABM laser ...

And it needs to hold the beam on the target for a good spell to work, something the laser "enthusiasts" on FR always ignore.

I get weary of this idea they seem to have that it is one zap and all is done. The beam needs to cook things, it is not a disintegrator.

So is a “good spell” a few seconds or a few minutes? It makes a big difference.
