    I saw this in the news.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20944726

    Basically, a laser weapon capable of shooting down an aircraft a mile away, yet portable enough to move with ease.

    This bit sounds scary:

    I'm glad this technology is on our side.

    What is scary, is each Country says God is on its side.

        For anyone interested in the technology of the sound cannon that we fitted to the helicopter, you can google it under its proper name of 'Long Range Acoustical Device' (LRAD).

        It doesn't take up much space and and doesn't weigh a lot so is perfect for the helicopter.

        :mute: Shhh! Don't let anyone know, but the GC technical department are also working on developing an Alternate Universe Device to fit alongside the the TTD.

          I think it will need quite a bit of development before it reaches Phaser size.
