I can't see these weapons being very...friendly to humans. so one has to wonder if regulations will be added.

Great, expect them to use these for false flags like 911. More tyranny coming your way....

...So... we're saying the burn time of Inner Sphere pulse lasers is too long then?

Wow...a hole in a hood...

Amazing.

Maybe if the enemy is standing still, a few hundred feet away, in a car thats not moving, and they dont get out for a few minutes, this will be a great weapon system....

Last week, Lockheed Martin used its Advanced Test High Energy Asset (ATHENA) laser to mangle a Ford F-150. The test once again proved that dollar for dollar, lasers may be the most efficient weapon system known to man for sparking breathless overexcitement and sloppy science fiction references in the media amounting to "Pew! Pew! Pew Pew Pew!"
Weapons break things. They often do this by applying enough energy or force to an object to crush, shatter, explode, or otherwise dramatically exceed a target's physical limits. In the case of conventional weapons — e.g., knives, guns, and bombs — this mainly consists of pressure from a blast or kinetic energy delivered by sharp, jagged, and/or pointy things.

Lasers, like any other weapon, transfer energy to a target. But instead of transferring something concrete like kinetic energy via a bullet, lasers impart thermal energy via light. Battlefield lasers work much the same way that a magnifying glass held over hapless ants on a sidewalk works on a sunny day: They don't usually cause a dramatic explosion — they just melt, heat, or cook the unholy bejeezus out of something. Until it breaks.
