Elon Musk’s flamethrowers are mere playthings compared to this lethal new laser rifle.

Chinese scientists at the Xian Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics have developed a fully functioning prototype of the “ZKZM-500 laser assault rifle.”

The 15mm caliber weapon is being compared to an AK-47 because of its similar 6.6-lb weight, but it’s firepower capabilities sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

According to researchers who wish to remain anonymous, the ZKZM-500 fires an energy beam undetectable to the human eye that can pass through glass and cause the “instant carbonization” of human flesh from half a mile away.

“The pain will be beyond endurance,” one researcher said. “[It can] burn through clothes in a split second. If the fabric is flammable, the whole person will be set on fire”.

“Nobody will know where the attack came from,” another anonymous researcher added. “It will look like an accident.”

Each will cost $15,000 to manufacture at large-scale production and can fire 1,000 “shots” on a single charge from a lithium ion battery.

Though it clearly has deadly potential, the ZKZM-500 also has “non-lethal” applications.

The Southern China Morning Post has further details:

In the event of a hostage situation it could be used to fire through windows at targets and temporarily disable the kidnappers while other units move in to rescue their captives.

It could also be used in covert military operations. The beam is powerful enough to burn through a gas tank and ignite the fuel storage facility in a military airport.

The lasers cannot kill a target with a single shot, but if fired at a person for long enough the weapons would start to burn a hole in their body, cutting through them like a surgical knife.

Anti-terrorism squads in the Chinese Armed Police will likely be the first to test these laser guns in the field.

Your move, Elon.

Nice Glock. It should be used on boko boys

Cool.

I need one. Where can I get it? There is one boy like that...

They just want to end this life

Only in American army you would see Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, British, Indian, Nigerian and the rest.. That's why they know what almost the rest of the world know but their own is not known...

China can only rub shoulders with America economically but when it comes to advance technologies and military hardware/softwares they dare not.

You want to gun him down because he hit your vehicle once and disappeared?

Hmm.

But why is American touted so much as being all of it? Does China really not come close?

Although I feel the Chinese are fond of publicising their inventions and all so much maybe to puff air or for publicity and the US doesn't, so it seems as if they (the Chinese) are developing so much.

But what do I know.

Buhari will gladly buy this one for bandits

This is frightening

Coz America is a cosmopolitan. They harvest brains from every parts of the world. Any country that will measure up to America must follow suit. Canada is trying to, China will never get there. Unfortunately, the last era in America really pulled them behind. I look at my Team here and can count less than 30% Americans in the team. Most of us are foreigners and that is how most Labs here are. America banks on best of the best from every part of the world

I need one, I want to check something near Aso rock

Magnoliaa:

It's up for sale...let me know if you in need of it urgently..

This is sensible. Same thing the other guy pointed out. America has people from other parts, but the other parts have little to no (or fewer) Americans and foreigners (?). That doesn't affect the American people negatively, does it? I mean, I wonder why other nations aren't following suit, but I guess they are trying to be ethnocentric by having more of the countrypeople make up significant sectors of their society.

The last era - you mean Donald Trump's presidency?

And you say China will NEVER get there? You're not an authority na. Tides can change. World powers have always been changing since time immemorial.

This is really nice sha. I like how they promote the best brains and bring them together to maximise the highest potentials. They are really so far ahead in growth and development and equality. (Another theory is that they only use the best brains for selfish purposes).

On the other hand, I wonder why there is still so much 'cry' about gender and racial inequality over there, given the above situation -- unless it's a whitewash (the achievements and development and of that.

Sha I hope my question-like interaction isn't annoying. I really do not know...so... I want to form my opinions by listening to reading from different people.

dumbass, every man is equal. china has 1400 million ppl while america has only 350 million.

you think mulattos have higher IQ and can beat the pure blood chinese ?

you should thank china which shows you that any single race can be equal with the caucasian race.

stuff your inferiority complex to yourselves.

Brain drain for china ? a country with 2 universities among the Top 20 in the world ? a country with 137 companies among fortune Top 500 that brain drains white experts to work in china ?!

dont assume chinese be like african and indian who seek green cards in the West.

1) first of all, dont put india and nigeria with other countries. these two dont deserve.

2) chinese do NOT serve in US army. but some bananas serve. those taiwan bananas or the second generation .

3) china is getting off its labor-intense , low-salaried, heavily-polluted industries to India, nigeria , vietnam and other sorry-assed late-comers.

4) chinese are trying to grab the high-end imdustries with the West . car manufacturing, plane building , pharmacies.... the so called scrambling for 5G technology is a beginning.

5) africa guys, this time is no longer scrambling for africa in 19th century. you are either totally fvcked up or you are merging in a multi-polar world society. dont pick a wrong side again !!

Daayyuumm!!!

Everyone is southern Nigeria should buy guns now because 2022/2023 will be hot.

I prefer a Desert Eagle. .50 Calibre to be precise....

"Non-dumbass" , you are welcome. Joining words with you is a waste of resources.

Truly the end is near.

This guy's will soon end the world

The Israelis' had a test run some time ago of something similar, but one might prefer the Gilboa Snake and Tavor(all variants) both made by the Israelis'
