This isn't like those fictional weapons. It's just a powerful laser.

Their speed, and their projectile like appearance would suggest some other form of particle beam.

Next step: combine this with (last week's?) anti-mosquito laser defense system.

uh, hate to burst your bubble, but the u.s. army already fitted a laser on a humvee a while ago.. it's usually used to disarm bombs from a distance, but the same humvee took out an aircraft

it can burn through a couple inches of steel, it'll rip a person in seconds. thats damage for ya
