The Chinese have created a laser "kalashnikov": experts already doubt its potential

A Chinese company plans to send a completely new type of weaponry to police officers: an automatic laser gun, which can be burned in a laser beam up to a distance of 800 meters in clothing or a potential aggressor in the skin.

The new weapons do not cause any noise, the ray is invisible and can be fired by an opponent behind the glbad. The rifle was developed by scientists from ZKZM Laser, Precision Mechanics and Optics at the ZKZM Laser Company, Siian University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The planned use of weapons – the rescue of civilian hostages and covert military operations. In addition, the weapon is not lethal because it does not kill its own victims, but only "causes enough severe pain."

The weapon weighs three pounds – like the AK-47, the world's most popular automaton – and will use a lithium-ion battery that will last more than 1000 seconds. Chinese manufacturers are looking for a mbad production financing partner, with a unit priced at $ 15,000

According to skeptics, a laser beam at a distance of 800 meters will almost certainly be too weak to damage clothing or the skin. it is unlikely that the weapon has such a compact and powerful element that would be sufficient for a given number of shots.
