[Update] Five MEGA-Watt Laser Pointer?

Whoa. Someone needs to tell the DOD to shut down their laser weapon development programs and just order these from Amazon.

Hunter Biden ordered a number of products from the auction site Tophatter to be shipped to the home, including a night vision monocular telescope, an anti-police GPS radar detector, a 5-megawatt laser pointer…

Hell, I want one of them. Do they run off lithium ion batteries, or plug into the wall. At 5 MW though I’d probably have to tap main power transmission lines for power. Fortunately, there’s line about a quarter mile from here.

Update: I sent an email to the reporter who wrote about the 5MW laser. And he did something I haven’t seen from a reporter in a looong time: he admitted it was a mistake and said he’d fix it.
