THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser)For years, chemical-powered lasers were seen as the only viable alternative for weapons-strength ray guns. The most promising of those systems, the Tactical High Energy Laser, successfully shot down dozens of rockets and mortars. (this video shows it in action.) But generating the THEL's megawatts of laser power required hundreds of gallons of toxic chemicals — ethylene, nitrogen trifluoride. The weapons grew bulky (the small-scale version was only supposed to be kept in a mere right cargo containers, each 40 feet long). Worse, after a few shots, the lasers would have to be resupplied with a fresh batch of reactants. The logistics of hauling those toxins either through the air or across a battlefield made generals shiver. So, ultimately, interest swung back to solid state systems, like Yamamoto's, and, to a lesser extent, free electron lasers. http://www.defensetech.org/

This thing doesn't work. It can't hit targets with 100% accuracy. I think the whole project should be scrapped. Also, I think that armies should refuse to buy guns that don't hit 100% of their targets. also, I think that Thomas Edison should have stopped trying to make the incandescent light bulb after 5 or 6 tries. Everyone knows that was a total failure. ALSO, I highly endorse eating at least 1 serving of lead-based paint at every meal.

This is amazingly cool. I hope further development goes into this so that the lasers become more powerful and can target even larger things such as aircraft.
