Chinese military has built Star Wars-like laser-firing AK-47s | Daily Mail Online

"The Chinese military has built a Star Wars-like laser AK-47 capable of causing 'pain beyond endurance', according to researchers.", "The rifle was described as 'non-lethal' in the paper because the laser rifle does not inflict the penetrative damage of a normal gun."

'The silent weapon could also be used by the military as it can burn through a gas tank and ignite fuel storage. '

'The weapon, which is powerful enough to pass through windows, can burn through clothes in a split second, claim scientists who have not been named due to the sensitivity of the project. '

'The weapon weighs around the same as an AK-47 (three kilos, or 6.6lbs) and has a range of 800 metres (0.5 miles). '

'It will look like an accident,' they said.

Just saying it now... we're going to see some James Bond level shit happening to all the wrong people.

Without reading the article: they probably built one (or a few), it's a laughably impractical POS, and will probably be forgotten like that traffic cheating bus.

Congrats china, you just caught up to where we were 20 years ago. Of course, this assumes anything in there is true.

It says they will use it for police counter terrorism units. So probably very practical if you have some annoying jihadi camping in a house wasting everybody's time trying to get him out.

That's when you use a normal bullet.

Or antifa. No need to be directly on the scene. And it wouldn't need to look like any kind of weapon.

So, they built a weapon that can be blocked by a smoke grenade. Brilliant!

Not just any ordinary lasers, but fully semi-automatic 7.62x39mm lasers! Won't someone think of the poor children?

I expect better from China than to pull an Iranian move. It's clearly a flashlight on the end of a plastic gun.

Laser ak47... Title written by an eight year old with no knowledge of guns.

The logic that because somthing has a weight similar to an ak47 makes it a kind of ak47 is flawless.
