Ok, what are the details on that laser? Like strength and range, because holy poo poo I can’t believe did we actually do it? Gundams are right around the corner boys.

Navy open source reporting is that this demonstrator is aimed at a 150 kw demonstrator weapon. Not clear what the strength of the test shot was. The previous iteration was a 30 kw demonstrator. quote:Portland, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, was tapped in 2018 to be the first ship to test the Solid State Laser – Technology Maturation (SSL-TM) Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD) MK 2 MOD 0 at sea. This second iteration of SSL-TM, which is ultimately expected to become a 150-kilowatt laser weapon, draws from lessons learned from Office of Naval Research (ONR) demonstrations and testing that date back to 2011. The original 30-kilowatt Laser Weapon System (LaWS) was used by interim afloat forward staging base USS Ponce (AFSB(I)-15) in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations from 2014 to 2017 to gather data and lessons learned on how the system performed in an operational setting.

Sure you could pay over $100 for that lamp. Or you can get the exact same one for super cheap and maybe you’ll see it in two months. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40010...603439f5&is_c=Y

Are they just really bad shots? It always surprised me how many times an automatic weapon is fired at someone and they just keep running.

When I was working in Iraq, my close protection detail always told me if I ever got in a situation where I under attack in a place, to just run away from the shooting as 99% of the time they'd be just too hyped up to actually aim. Also a scroll down to the bottom of that ambush post is very loving

It's possible that the wide runway is messing with perception of the speed vs a road context. I know when Top Gear or whoever does runway speed runs it can look less dramatic than 200mph or whatever should because the scale is off.

Or perhaps they're ancient technicals and the speedo is broken.

Seatbelts posted:Maybe im crazy but that doesn't look like 200km/hr Maybe, but driving on a wide runway with no nearby obstacles to pass and with stripes 4 or 5 times the size of the ones on a highway tends to distort one's perception of speed.
