To be honest, anyonne going 14 years without researching laser weapons probably doesn't need them.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;40216400]Laser weaponry can be amazing if it is efficient, long range lasers would eliminate the need for complicated sniper training due to not having to learn ballistic data with temperature, wind, or altitude. Just point and bam the guy has a burning hole in his chest.[/QUOTE]

yeah but you dont want to leave a clean easy cauterized hole in the dude, you want a raggedly bloodly cut up wound

You blind yourself trying to aim.

Yes, you'd also be unable to see.

That's cool. Now, can we get some boxy laser pistols that are powered by average household batteries?

[QUOTE=Neo Kabuto;40216573]But that's only if they can get it down to sci-fi style levels of miniaturization (which would require massive improvements in many technologies). It's going to be ship or plane mounted for a while.[/QUOTE]
Nah, not major improvements. Just a single month of an Alien Invasion and a good research team
