I just observed that Navy laser weapon video...goodness gracious what wrong with you people?

Young scientists clapping and yahooing as another UAS is shot down, what happened to peace?.
You have SO many secret Naval, University, Think Tank, etc departments its incredible.....but the question is why?

People often ask on this forum, "Why does the World hates America?"........Well These weapons are some of the reasons, not to mention greed, secrecy, everything else that is bad.

You now know why the Russians and Chinese dont trust you.

The sooner the Military Machine, that is America is shut down, the Better.

(Disclaimer:The poster advises that the words and information represented here, are not his own, and are channelled from an Alien in the Horsehead Nebular, who wishes the people of the Earth good will and peace. The American Military is advised not to fire any of its secret laser or otherwise weapons in the direction of the poster...he is a mere human after all. This is Zebo of the Nebular, over and out).

Ohh where am I?????


You know, speaking from experience, not all of us involved in research and development do so with "war" in mind. I can't tell you how many projects fly by that at least from the perspective we are coming from, are begun with ONLY the best interests of others at heart.

My g-grandfather helped create the atomic weapon (among other things that many use in their cars every single day) but even then he was hoping for a way to "stop another war" from occurring if, in the face of such overwhelming power, others laid down their arms in fear of such a weapon being directed at them. Did he regret it later? Absolutely, but that was why HE allowed himself to do it. In the beginning, it was actually meant to help end war.

Now, aside from those LITERALLY stuck continuing the work they've begun, it's very rare for a member of any team to have the actual intention that what they work on would ever be used on another human being. It's either to stop the fighting, or cause less harm to be done in terms of personnel life. Life either for this country, or against. Commercial enterprises like Northrup... well, that's different. War means money for them. But facilities like darpa? Medical break throughs intended from the very beginning to help others are tested there. Lasic surgery as one example.

Is it better one man bombs a room of 12 others, or for that one man to be stopped? Loss of life either way is horrible, but the world is in a state where if one weapon exists, another must be made to counter it. 9 times out of 10, our weapons are in counter to those other nations are currently testing. You're just not told about these things.

Other than that, real,TRUE innovations anymore will always be twisted if "need" arises.

During Vietnam the US used a round short range howitzer round called dragon's breath during VC human wave attacks on fire bases.
Very effective in 105 and 155mm guns as the ball of bright white burning metal powder was the size of a foot ball field.
en.wikipedia.org...

There were also gun crews in Vietnam that would load 155mm guns with 5 to 6 bags of powder soaked in diesel and a dry powder charge with no projectile. this would cause a orange muzzle flash the size of a football field.
At one fire base the VC were massing for a attack on the base and the gun crews fired one of these rounds just after dark. the next day a patrol went out to recon the area and found the VC had fled during the night giving up the attack.

These rounds fit the story and this type rounds are used mostly for psychological effect

I actually listed what this weapon was a few posts ago on page 1.
It really is just that, a plasma-gun mounted onto a tank.

"The device uses a technology known as dynamic pulse detonation (DPD). A short but intense laser pulse creates a ball of plasma and a second laser pulse generates a supersonic shockwave with the plasma to generate a bright flash and a loud bang."


It's a PASS laser. The handheld variety "aren't there yet" in terms of power like those using the larger battery system of charging.

It's very "pretty" though. You'd like it. Reminds me of something from a game. I think it was doom or quake or one of those, where a ball is shot, then that ball is shot again in order to create an explosion. This weapon is nothing compared to others, though. The guns are being created before the gunpowder, anymore. Like the F-35. So sophisticated, it's nearly impossible for a pilot to handle just using a joystick.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to say much more about it than that, but you may get the gist of what I mean.

Oh yeah, we're all human but some are just more human than others, I guess? Mind telling me why my life is worth less than a woman's or a child's? I'm sure you were not being sexist and there's a reasonable explanation for your sexist remark.

You've shot one, yourself? Does it have much of a kick to it?

No, I haven't. There are guys paid to pull triggers on things like these.

But to answer your question, there's no kick at all. Reason being, anything developed at this stage for future (space, or quiet/stealthy) applications more often than not won't have any recoil. Anything using a cartridge though, if you meant smaller variety, it's the same a metal slug. Doesn't work the same way.

edit: Cartridge could mean something like on the DREAD system shown earlier, I suppose, but I meant of the typical "bullet" variety. kinetic
