> Can this be weaponized? Kinda reminds me of Unreal Tournament's lightning gun, except they use a proton beam instead of a laser to guide the lightning bolt: > "The Lightning Gun is a high-power energy rifle capable of ablating even the heaviest carapace armor. Acquisition of a target at long range requires a steady hand, but the anti-jitter effect of the optical system reduces the weapon's learning curve significantly. Once the target has been acquired, the operator depresses the trigger, painting a proton "patch" on the target. Milliseconds later the rifle emits a high voltage arc of electricity, which seeks out the charge differential and annihilates the target." https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Gun https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Gun
