'The pain will be beyond endurance,' said the developer of the laser gun

They call it a non lethal weapon though.

If this hits mass production, clone wars will become reality

Who cares about laser weapons? If they set one foot on Nato territory with just a gun in their hand, they better hope we don't hit the red buttons. I guarantee red buttons hurt more than laser, gas, fake-communism or Trump twitters.

They'll shoot them down with their lasers.

So it just burns people at a small point? I'd rather that than get shot I guess, at least I can just put the fire out.

This is awesome but i cant help being sad that i will never own a laser gun as a Canadian unless i move : P

I wonder if its a beam or more like a bolt

[Yunru]

Eh those are kinda usless. A terrorist that wears glass can deflect it no problem.

Plasma gun based on railgun tehnology and flameable projectile would be something. (Mercury-vapor lamp would be usefull for something at least)

Its cool and all but it seems pretty useless.

That's gonna leave a mark.

They should build more stuff like this instead:

lasers ?

guess we have to invent something with light reflective surface to counter that

what could it possibly be?

Pretty soon drones will be equipped with these lasers and they'll make you pick up trash cans like in half life 2

Joking aside, a terrorist with this could cause massive damages. It burns you without flames, it doesn't make a sound and you can bust fire into crowds.

Sometimes I don't understand why we're building these things in the first place.

No, the radius is quite big. It would just start burning your skin first and then quickly enough your intestines.

The terrorist of the future?

You better get that social score up unless you want to get burned. #communism

[Shadowferal]

Seems to me this has more than one use.

Technology is like one big ass double edged sword, only the side facing you is ridiculously large and sharp.

Good thing I have a suit made of mirrors.

Wasn't it debunked already, because the battery needed would be too big/heavy for a human to carry?

I wouldn't expect any cutting edge developments on the Chinese front in ay case, they only try (and often fail) to copy stolen tech.

Are we sure this isn't more bullshit on Chinas part? Because they do love to bullshit about their capabilities. A lot.
