U.S. Navy Successfully Tests Laser Weapon in the Persian Gulf 

Navy shows how its new laser gun works at sea

 

LAZORZ! AMARR VICTOR!

 

Now if the Navy can deploy their railgun, we'll be that much closer to Eve Is Real.  ;)

I'll take the existing 20mm Phalanx system thanks - it can (unlike the current variant of LaWS) actually hit targets which don't move in straight lines, and much more importantly its actually legal to use against humans ;) LaWS is currently illegal under the terms of the Geneva Convention but then again so is torture....

But they are not lawful combatants! They can torture them all they want... yeah... logic.

Well where's the logic in having a 20mm cannon which fires 75 rounds a second being "legal" to target a human whereas a 30kW laser is illegal? I'm 100% sure I'd rather the "illegal" option as the cannon isn't going to leave anything other than raw meat splattered over a few metres.

 

Morals of any sort do rather seem to be very optional in the 21st century so far :(

I did appreciate having the C-RAM while at FOB Shank and Bagram Airfield.  BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Saw it prematurely pop incoming IDF a couple of times.  :)

Because early laser weapons, while not powerful enough to do any damage, were powerful enough to blind. There were prototype man-portable systems that basically mounted on the top of your M16 and let you blind whole swathes of whichever brown people had offended you this time. This was seen as unsporting and was therefore banned.

Think flashbangs that permanently blind people...  Such form of fighting is why laser weapons were banned.
