Future Weapon Used

I read today that the police in Italy were being harassed by laser weapons! WOW! So it has begun! I think this is both awesome and frightening. On the one hand, I like the fact that people have found a use for laser weapons. On the other hand, it’s scary because someone, outside of the military, has USED these weapons in an aggressive way. These “attacks” on the Italy police were only to blind them, but if you amplify them with a higher power battery, you could have a weapon that can kill. What makes a laser more dangerous than a gun? Lasers can shoot in hurricane force winds without any effect on the beam, there is no kick-back from firing it and in zero atmosphere no visible trace. AND its ultra portable and very dangerous if used at higher powers. Imagine a man sitting on the shore of a beach, and takes out this weird looking gun. Takes aim at an airplane and fires. Next thing you hear is that 200+ people died in a plane “accident”, and there is NO explanation to why the plane crashed. Scary!
