minus-squareWhatAmLemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoWell tbf, you don’t need great aim when you can vaporize everything within several hundred meters.
minus-squareArbiterXero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSure, but no plane within about 2km is going to stay in the sky…. The em pulse, the shockwave, the heat…. Aim is for handguns, this thing might take yourself out if you’re not careful.

minus-squareEverythingispenguins@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI would guess that it was intended as an interceptor weapon. It wouldn’t be used on one plane but a group Bears flying over the Arctic circle.
