Default Re: Laser Cannons --> Military --> Spam
The articles talk about technical problems and that the laser is not "visible light". So my question is have they solved the "age-old" laser problem of seeing/firing thru clouds or smoke?

I can just imagine the US with it's x-trillion dollar laser rifle being unable to shoot thru the smoke of simple smoke grenades.

IIRC even the laser-guided bombs have issues with that....they usually switch to other targeting methods in inclement wether, etc.....
