Some guy apparently made his own pulse-laser pistol:

It's not that powerful, but it's supposedly powered by just four Li-ion batteries, allowing for 50 shots, which is quite awesome.

Interesting. Obviously not all that powerful, but still dangerous. I wonder how long before someone starts shooting these at airliners. :? the world is full of stupid people. I think someone pointing a laser at an airline should be considered [number of passengers and crew] attempted manslaughter.

Err, anyway, lasers are freaking cool. As are coil guns and rail guns. :twisted:

I wish I could build laser guns. :( Literature studies doesn't properly prepare you for that. :P

Yea, that's pretty good... though I think the video is pretty lame.

that little cannon puts out a surprising amount of damage. I wonder how badly it would injured a person.

That is pretty cool :) I know from an old insane cubicle mate that CRT's can take some hard blows (as my cube mate repeatedly stabbed one with a knife once) so that is a good amount of power.

O'cram put an axe to a CRT once. First hit bounced right back. 2nd went through. Still we were like :O

I don't know how much damage that mini cannon would do, but i'd like to have one on my desk at work :)

Looks like Satis and Shiny will be outside the direct impact of a potential yellowstone explosion. :)



Scary though.

oh, I thought we were in the danger area. *shrug* It's ok, we're in some super-disaster-affecting area of one sort or another. I'm not terribly concerned.

Yeah, looking at some "massive natural disasters waiting to happen" countdowns it looks like we're all in for some sort of super-zomg-thing one way or another.

Central Europe (Germany et al) seems surprisingly stable though - no fault lines, no (real) sea nearby, stable climate. Of course, they'll probably get the meteors instead. :roll:

lol, as I was reading your post I was thinking meteors. :roll:

somewhat related, check out this video:
http://vimeo.com/11386048

It's compiled from the Cassini spacecraft's flyby of Saturn. It looks like a computer animation, but it's made from the actual images of the Cassino spacecraft. Fucking AWESOME.
