As an offensive weapon, it could target another boats engines, propulsion, and weaponry. If you want to support land operations, a missile or even a railgun are a better choice.<br /><br />Ray-guns are direct line of sight weapons- you can't arc them to have them hit a target beyond the horizon. This is not bad in a weapon designed to replace conventional guns, which are used as line-of-sight weapons anyway.<br /><br />If I was trying to hit land targets beyond the horizon with a laser, I would either mount the laser on a satellite or put a mirror in orbit and bounce the beam around the world. Nothing prevents me from flying an inflatable mirror over the horizon and then reflecting a laser beam off of it to burn our blast the target of my ire to oblivion- like ships, tanks, cities, or individual people!!<br /><br />Speaking of blasters- I designed a laser gun to be used in the flash-fiction Empty Places. If it proves satisfactory, you'll see it coming along in the later installments of Empty Places- watch for it!! I based the pulse laser off of hard-science discussions of energy weapons at Atomic Rockets, Orbital Vector, and Luke Campbell's site How To Build A Laser Death Ray- with some assumptions and calculations of my own.<br /><br />Christopher PhoenixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-51974700949640576682011-09-17T21:07:02.472-05:002011-09-17T21:07:02.472-05:00There is one problem with an HEL as a main armamen...There is one problem with an HEL as a main armament for ship: its range is limited by Line of Sight. The curvature of the earth limits the range of the weapon (absent some helo with a mirror to bounce the beam) to about 11 miles on the surface. What this means is that it is of very limited utility when it comes to supporting land operations.AngryBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121915142399397657noreply@blogger.com
