He (or someone else) said it would not necessarily have to play on Earth, but anywhere..... and if he's using ICBMs and satellites, I don;t think it's WWII.....

And laser weapons are already being tested. Mainly to shoot down missiles, but I read once that a company in Italy was busy developing an actual laser rifle and that it would be finished somewhere - I can't really remeber, could be 2006 or 2012, whatever.

There already are laser rifles, but they require massive power packs (backpack size) at the moment so are still impractical. Then again, we do just fine killing one another with projectiles it almost seems redundant to build another weapon type.

Are you referring to the (in)famous US antimissile program? Too bad they can't hit...

I guess that I missed the part about missiles and satellites. My fault, sorry
