Yeah, I like me some untested weapons systems. They always seem to pay off in the end. Hello Laser, bye-bye drone.
But remember, these weapons can always be used for Evil purposes.
Of course, that may be half the fun. 😉
H/T Moe Lane for the news on operational laser cannons.

So glad there’s a video.
Meh. I’m partial to rail guns myself. 🙂
Love them too. Who says a slug at near-relativisic speed wouldn’t be at least as lethal as a laser beam in space?
Both have their advantages and are so filled with awesome it’s not even funny.
