@Cole

🔦

please just nuke the mainland before it's too late

the day china takes over the world will be the end of civilisation

bet it'd do quite the number on your eyeballs

wholesome news from thailand 😊 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44688909

awh that's cool

@transience that's great

frying your eyeballs is technically nonlethal

🤔

I mean it's a hell of a way to go

"I got blinded by a chink with a laser rifle"

you guys heard about the shit with the LRADs too?

remember kids that laser weaponry are banned anyway against soft targets under CCW

protocol IV restricts blinding laser weapons (adopted on October 13, 1995, in Vienna)

where american embassy workers had their hearing fucked with by unknown LRADs

and thing is sure to blind if it hits face

or something like that

it only prohibits laser weapons designed to blind

``` Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness. The parties to the protocol also agree to not transfer such weapons to any state or non-state entity.[2] The protocol does not prohibit laser systems where blinding is an incidental or collateral effect, but parties that agree to it must take all feasible precautions to avoid such effects ```

this only does it as a side effect of setting you on fire

aka they cant use it if at anything if they cant prove its safety

>force population to use X-bandwidth filtering sunglasses so they can use their laser pewpew

i can see china doing this

at whatever power it's set at it might melt through the mass-produced glasses anyways

cha bu duo https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-44684315/road-collapse-caught-on-cctv-cameras-in-china

tbh i see that weapon used against security cameras and other such devices

instead of people

>aiming molotows out of peoples hands

and stuff like that

*aims laser at paper factory*

and yes @transience didn't that hit in Cuba aswell?

🤔

iirc yes

That was chink electronics

And unless the chinks are at least 4 gens ahead of everyone else in terms of battery tech they don't have shit anywhere near what they are claiming

It weighs as much as a fully loaded ak
