U.S. Navy

The Navy’s Laser Weapon System (LaWS) is as cool as it sounds. The LaWS emits infrared beams toward an intended target. With a capability of adjusting the intensity of the beam, the Laser Weapon System can either warn, cripple, blind, or even fry an enemy target.

The LaWS was first utilized on the USS Ponce in 2014. This one you see here is installed on the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey in San Diego, California. These weapons are useful because the Navy can take on small enemy boats and aerial targets without using any bullets.
