It will fry/burn you like if you were put in a microwave.

I'll be a bit more impressed when they become small enough to mount on the heads of sharks.

Belgium had something like that during WW2. There were openings in the ground and inside it was a cannon. After the cannon fired the opening closed itself.haffeysucks wrote:
Perhaps they could implement a cover on it similar to a camera lens cover. It uncovers, shoots, covers back up again, all within a couple seconds..Sup wrote:
I'm sure this thing is gonna be firing from long distances, safe from any danger.
But in all seriousness, a shutter lens, or simply pointing the lens facedown to the roof of the truck in travel would be an answer. My guess is the shutter option would be used because of less damage by dust etc.
Sweet! Another reason to quadruple our defense budget!! But wait! WHen Metal Storm weaponry is implemented, then we can quadruple the budget again!
If I were an enemy looking at our defense systems, our technology dependent arsenal, I'd be thinking of one thing...EMP. Seriously, if we don't pay China's bills, they could just drive some rental vans with some EMP bombs into a few major cities and let 'er rip. We'd be in the stone age...just like China was before they started stealing all our technology and secrets. Hell, they even have the gymnastics judges giving Chinese athletes scores they don't deserve...not sure how they did that, but I know it's them!

Just nuke the upper atmo above the USA, apparently a decent sized nuke releases an EMP shockwave........
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

But he also has three stars, also it's fictional, also they're not representing the US Armed Forces so they could make him wear a fluffy bunny hat to show that he's a General.FEOS wrote:

Do you guys spell lasers as lazers (title)? I mean shit, laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. How could you throw in a z there, it doesn't make sense.
Mortar? I thought it would only be able to direct a straight beam. At best it might become AAmotherdear wrote:

Purpose?
That thing in spawn + An out of bounds area in the enemy spawn (maybe you'll be told there's enemy snipers in that area or something, or have like an AI machine gunner for indoors) would be the perfect spawn protection
(After all how many of us have been pounded by arty or enemy jets on spawn?)

OT: this looks awesome... but really i think its just to make the USA's penis bigger.... not really having a drastic effect on the battlefield

And if this thing's designed to destory rockets and shit, I'd imagine it'd make light work of a bullet.

Be interesting to see how they go about stopping small arms fire damaging that rather fragile looking lense. $36m for a big shiney laser than can be rendered useless by a mentalist with an AK isn't very good.
Umm, no, not really interesting because they will be protected by surrounding defense systems. No need to put a unit capable of shooting near speed of light lasers at long range near the front lines. These will be back off the front heavily defended.
Nuh uh.Mek-Stizzle wrote:
