Back to the grindstone.

Yay!  Now we just need photon torpedoes!   

[techmaster-glitch]

Saw it already. Still awsome, though. The first practical weaponized laser...

[Sunblink]

WHAT THE HELL. I wanted porn. Where's the porn?




*clicks link* Oh. Well, this is much better. All we need to do is attach some of these miniaturized laser beams to some sharks.

I've heard about this before

They are also developing a smaller helecopter mounted type for domistic use. 

Disabling a subjects vehical, or the like

Eh, the weapon kinda counters itself and the ground-based defense laser system would be far cheaper than the one planted on the plane.  There is also the fact that guided missiles are far cheaper to build and significantly easier to maintain.

So the only way this kind of weapon is going to see real action is if we can put it in a stealth bomber of some sort.

But Keaton, the porn has been inside you the whole time, it only needs you to let it out




seriously, looking at this the first thing to my mind is turning it on a crowded road at rush hour and just following the interstate leaving everything a twisted mess of aluminum and molten rubber. may not hit many military targets but its got a cool screaming death factor and will probably shut down the economy pretty soon when trucks of goods and people can no longer move over the highways

... there is no porn, there is only you. When you learn this, you will see that it is not the porn that you watch, but only yourself.

and here i was expecting someone to say 'porn powers activate'




second idea- would it be possible to use this laser to vaporise a resevoir of water, or failing that to break a dam?

Porn powers activate.

There. Happy?

Normally this is the part where Charline would show up doing something perverted, but she's not allowed in this part of the forum.
