Star Wars Has Arrived! - New US Military Laser Weapon Deployed

[Guest]

Or did Star Trek get this first?

Didn't they have a "photon beam" on the Enterprise?

Photon TORPEDOES ... similar to missiles.

Soon they will create smaller versions for handheld firepower: ;-)

And to think this was all far out science fiction when I was a boy.

I have a hand-held green laser pistol that will put a spot on a wall in bright daylight, 200 feet away ... unfortunately the hand gun will only punch holes in a person sufficiently potent to drop them only out to about 90 feet.  I made it myself using standard parts, and cost about $800.

It also has a red dot targeting laser set for 75 feet because of the parallax problem between the laser emitter and the hole puncher, but is too weak to be seen in daylight most of the time.

I carry it all the time, it fits in my right-front front pants pocket.

I put it together with SHOE GOO, which you can buy at Wal-Mart.
