I feel like you’ve invented a brand new war crime. Good job!
Totally non credible, where’s the sight?
My favorite thing about this is that the safest person… would be the one the barrel is pointing at.
Is it? How would the physics work here?
I mean, the trigger mechanism could use some foolproofing, but wouldn’t the radiation go out the only opening it has?
Because of the circular hardened barrel pointed at the target, it would be the least likely direction for shrapnel to be thrown when the whole thing fuckin explodes
And then, three weeks later, boom, dead.
Works everytime, cannot fail.
No muzzle flash, just cherenkov radiation in your eyes
Alexa, play Blinded by the Light
Lol yeah
Ah I see you’re a modern Krupp
Early concepts of X-Ray Laser ABM systems developed for the Strategic Defense Initiative worked similar to this, in which an atomic bomb would provide the light to feed a laser directed at enemy ballistic missiles. Since we didn’t want to send nukes up into orbit (which would break treaties against OWPs) we’d have to pop them up via a launch vehicle, probably as large as ICBMs themselves. (Wikipedia)
