Radiation weapons don't have to radiate visible light - we could pick any practical wavelength

  who said visible light?
  • FredPret 3y ago
    You said "laser wavelengths". Any wavelength can be a "laser wavelength" if we understand a laser to be a beam weapon.

      right, but laser wavelength does not mean visible wavelength. that's why i specifically didn't use visible in the comment. microwave weapons don't have the same meaning as laser. pew pew. nobody has ever said "friggin' microwave" as they point their pinky to corner of their mouth. not sure why you feel the need to get to whatever pedantic level you're trying to go when the conversation was clearly talking about lasers. we can redirect lasers with mirrors. covering a military plane in mirrors to deflect lasers is clearly something in jest. but sure, let's turn it into a pedantic conversation.
