Looks like laser rifles are a thing now

An AK sized rifle that is powerful enough to set someone on fire at 800 meters.

I want one

1000 shots per charge and 2 seconds each. I want one too!

“Non-lethal” because it only sets people on fire. Lol.

I'll believe it when I see it.
and then I'll want one :)

Nobody needs that for deer hunting

When can we expect the legislation?

This. Any appreciable power will require either a wall plug or a sizeable battery pack. Either of those will hamper tactical efficiency. 1000 2-second shots? Sounds more like something to torment a cat.

Is a laser rifle still a firearm? Have to change the name from ATF to ATF&L

How long for a battery recharge?

The article doesn't really get into details about how long it takes to charge.
