Use superheated plasma beams, it looks cooler and it's what they use in Star Wars.

Wait, we can make fucking LASER GUNS now?! When did this happen!?
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;22290335]But what if they don't target your body? :ohdear:
I'm sure the, er, "impact" area is not very large. There shouldn't be much dispersion.[/QUOTE]
The aperture on that thing looks like its as big as a large beach ball, I think the impact area is big enough, but I seriously doubt they would waste their time with that thing on people. Actual bullets work just fine on people.
[QUOTE=Ishmael12;22292282]Not to be a negative nancy (this is extremely cool)
How many naval threats do we have now other than small dinghies full of pirates, or the potential Korean conflict?
And this isn't something that could just be mounted on a Humvee for land use either[/QUOTE]
If anything can be learned from the past couple of months of rising global tension, it's that military threats are often unpredictable and wide ranging.
When I read the title I was all like [b]Holy shit, laser beams![/b]
Now I'm all like [highlight]Holy shit, LASER BEAMS![/highlight]
Seriously, I demand some f***ing video footage already
[QUOTE=Daddy-of-war;22284798]ZAP! That's the last sound a terrorists will hear.[/QUOTE]
Cause you know, terrorists fly drones and aircrafts often.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;22313645]Ahh lasers, is there anything you can't do?[/QUOTE]
Fix a broken heart... :sigh:
I was expecting it to look a little less like a dustbin.
[QUOTE=Rainhorror;22291545]Fucking lasers, how do they work?[/QUOTE]
Through some pretty awesome means.
But I can't be fucked describing it all so I'll just give you what the acronym laser stands for.
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Atmospheric lensing and the issue that we have atmosphere.
It could work in space, but for here on earth you'd need to fire a low power laser in the path of the plasma bolt/stream anyway to clear the atmosphere out the path.

Our government is working tirelessly to give us awesome sci-fi weapons :911:
Can we even consider it sci-fi anymore?

Lazer the bitch who dumped you.
Pick up chicks with your kickin' laser.
reverse that order, and you have revenge and a newly healed heart
