Zap Some Commies!

I love the idea for this new weapon!

(I only wonder if it will cost more than a OD Glock when it comes out.)

The odds of being hit by lighting just went into the toilet!
Maybe they can help with my odds with the lottery next!

Actually, I wonder if it could be used to transfer power to a large capacitor at great distance?

Interesting idea.

I think the problem is that the capacitor would take time to charge up. I don't think that they can take a charge quickly.... I am no expert on this technology, but I think the laser creates a "channel" through the air that the "lightning" will choose to pass thru. Neat idea!
