Laser Cannons --> Military --> Spam

For those of you who like conspiracy theories might get a kick outa this. I would take it with a grain of salt though. But who knows eh?

Narf the image on the CBS page is not CG. I have seen the same image in many other places of much higher quality and have seen an actual video demonstrating that. (Couldn't find a place where the video is available Online. Sorry. The video clip I saw of it was on the History Channel, a show about future combat hardware I believe.)

As to the size. You are only seeing the top part that targets and fires the laser. Not the power sources etc. The whole laser is actually much larger than shown in the picture. In fact those soldiers are standing on it.

Which one? Too many links in this topic...

The old CBS one or the one I just posted?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hrmm... I have found the exact same article word for word in several other locations but none of them are what I would consider reputable. More like the internet Versions of National Inquirer. So... independent verification of anything they mention... no can do. Outa curiosity I tried to find info on the Soviet - Chinese conflict over the river they mention at one point in the article where the Soviets in the 1960's used a laser weapon to blow up a Chinese wall or some such. I can verify the conflict but nothing about laser weapons or any special wall that was blown up.

I haven't tried to check up on anything else in it so far though.
