And now I know what an attosecond is - 0.000000000000000001 seconds! About my attention span after a few beers.

Hmmm ill have to see if i can dig up that old artical about Phase 1 Electromagnetic Force Fields used by the British army on the Challenger tanks. Basicly its a electricly charged field around the tank out about 4 inches which super heats copper warheads making them ineffective against the vehicle. Basicly nullified RPGs and any none enriched AT round against the vehicles and is one of the key reasons why no Challenger II has be lost in battle yet.

Strictly speaking, the beam is laserlike instead of a laser per se because the X-ray beam is not produced by direct lasing, which would require a prohibitive amount of power.

I'd say we're still 5 years or more from true x-ray weaponry. 2 Guns

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
