I know how much power 2kW is. For example, when my hybrid water heater runs in heat pump mode it consumes only 380W. But when I have family stay over I set it to run in heat strips mode like a normal electric water heater, in which case it runs at 4kW. Thus, I'm aware that this new weapon is purported to use half of that (2kW).
What I don't know is how powerful is that? Is it a beam that slowly fries the electrical components of an enemy if the laser is on it for a long duration?
Not half.
2kW = 2000W
Wait, never mind. Just saw what you were saying.
It’s 2kW focused on a small area. Like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight to melt through or burn the outer material to burn the inner parts.
You should see the size of the battery pack ...
