Using a laser as a weapon really only make sense if speed is
essential.

But speed is ALWAYS essential when you're
working military idiots and the only thing they
know about EM is RADAR directors.
So that's why we even invented LASERS.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Lasers are not particularly good at destroying anything. They're
hugely inefficient. If you want to kill somebody, use a bullet. If you
want to destroy a bridge, use explosives. If you want to kill a
projectile coming towards you at more than mach 1, then a laser makes
sense, because it arrives at its target almost instantaneously.

Apart from the laser-armed AC-130 idea that's floating around, most
uses of lasers as weapons that are under development or proposed deal
with some form of missile defense, where speed is more important than
efficiency.

Lasers weren't developed with any particular purpose in mind, let
alone a military one,

The Lasers you are talking about physics morons
and mental defect laboraties.
The people who more than an infintie amount
of moron double slit time to waste,
make DVDs, Sniper Rifiles, RPG Launchers,
moon rockets, and LAser(c) Printers, with them.

I'm can only guess what you mean, because your sentences don't make
sense.

Best guess is those sentences mean he's dead drunk or stoned out of
his mind.

I don't think that calling the physicists who actually developed
lasers morons for not foreseeing the many different uses for their
invention is justified. It works fine for the purposes they
envisioned. I have no idea how this is related to RPGs or moon
rockets, by the way.

Furthermore, it's completely beside the point. Unless I misunderstood
you, you wrote that lasers were invented for military purposes, when
they actually weren't. It didn't take the military long to come up
with military uses for them, but that's a different matter
altogether.

What exactly is your point here anyway? Are you simply making an
argument for argument's sake?

zzbunkeris a bot. That's why it doesn't make sense.

Well, that not's really the problem.
The robot is the first new invention to penetarte
the moron military since the hammer was invented:
and they can't deal with it,
Since they're all morons: history's thumb-nail
rejects in the ranks of engineering.

Yes they were. Siemens and I.G.Farben worked on medical lasers and
beam weaponry during World War II, for those specific purposes.

The Germans also investigated X-ray and Gamma ray weapons under Dr.
Scheibold for use against bomber aircraft but could only attain a
height of 15,000 ft with one test gun. It featured a large surface
anode. A dose of 7 rads per second at a distance of 5 km with a time
on target of 30 seconds, which was achievable with this weapon, was
considered adequate to inflict irreversible biological harm to the
crew of the aircraft. Due to time on target problems and a "scattering
effect" on the aircraft metal skin, the weapon was not adopted for
production.

~ Henry Stevens, "Hitler's Suppressed and Still-Secret Weapons,
Science, and Technololgy.

Restricted Report dated July 19,1944:

"Concerning the possibility of biological effects of short wave x-
rays, respectively, gamma rays from x-ray tubes of special
construction at great distance" (translated from German to English
postwar). It was addressed to the research effort of the Reich
Ministry of Aeronautics, directed to Dr. Georgil at Research
Installation Gross Ostheim.

Three prototype guns were built but only one worked properly.

Yet talk of Star Wars SDI X-Ray weapons during the Reagan
Administration and other beam developments today are not "new" at all.
The miracle modern weapons from the 1980s to the 2010 timeframe are
only classified German types that have come to maturity with advances
in materials and military design over 60 years

Or a better quote for military morons is:

Look Vince the text is so obviously the work of a deranged mind that it's
not even worth querying.

Watson-Watt rejected the 'death ray' idea in about 1934, interestingly
after rumours of a German device...

Nobody even built a Maser until after 1950, never mind a laser.

Forget it, it's just more Internet conspiracy rubbish.

Don't ask, he will link you to his own site. He's good at fiction.

I fully agree. My Father in law was student of Lamb's at Columbia and
knew Gould and all the other laser pioneers.(Gould was a student of
Kusch who shared the 1955 Nobel prize with Lamb) Ed actually took the
first photograph made with a laser

I was just assuming it was a mistranslation of the source
