This appeared in the Hot Air headlines earlier this week, and is hereby rescued in all of its sheer awesomeness:
The Danger Room article goes on to point out that defense companies have been promising us these things for three decades, and that we shouldn’t expect any field-operated laser rifles any time soon. Which is kind of like giving a kitten a cute little ball of string and then taking it away, all while pointing and laughing. Sadists.
