Well Boeing makes a lot of our military craft, and are responsible for designing the YAL-1, which is basically a massive laser mounted inside of a Boeing 747. Think of a cross between an AC-130 and Star Wars.VitusPrime said:Pew Pew...
Hang, on is this Boeing as in Boeing seris of planes?!
THEY BUILD LAZERS ALSO?!
O.T. in a way lazer weapons will be better, (DUH) not in just easyer kills, but idk maybe less civilians getting caught in fights and stuff?
I know, I thought of that too. But then I thought, "I would do the same thing."The_Oracle said:So, um. They named the hovering laser system of death MATRIX? Are they trying to strike fear and horror into the hearts of the public?
But anyway...I had no idea laser technology had come quite this far. If they can do this, who's to say, I don't know, laser tanks aren't next?
When lasers can work at decent ranges on the bionic sharks!!11Onyx Oblivion said:So, when do we get freaking sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads?
Indeed. Let the "pew pew pew" wars commence!Kollega said:It looks like US Air Forces are CHARGING THEIR LAZORZ! Now just polish these systems to a mirror-shine (pun very much intended), and we're good to go.
Yeah i imagine lotsa of young boys playing ONLY, all the wrong games since birth will be fascinated, and quickly join the military. ohhh wait a sec...The_Oracle said:So, um.

that would just be a giant laser pointer... infared... >.>darthmath said:im not entirely sure where i saw the article but i believe police forces were experimenting with a sort of civilian (or rather anti civilian) laser technology. it was meant to cause intense pain and minor burns however the laser could not shoot through metallic surfaces meaning that a simple thin layer of say... aluminum underneath a persons clothing would make them immune to this weaponry.
Of course, that's what we have him for:Rusty Bucket said:Is this just a salesman that gets parachuted in to show all the bad guys how amazing this laser stuff is?Tom Goldman said:High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator
I'm sorry sir, that won't happen ... you see, we only have ill-tempered sea-bass.Onyx Oblivion said:So, when do we get freaking sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads?
