I think in the future we should reserve -star for
exoatmospheric vehicles.

Besides it would po the lib's every time Big Ronnie was responsible for saving an American city. they think the shining light is what was missing on Paris Hiltons home video.

LOL How about the "Shining Path"

Then we could tell the libs that our "Shining Path" is stronger than their "Shining Path".

....that our "Shining Path" will eclipse their "Shining Path"

Anyone know the energy requirements for this? Rate of fire? Range? Sounds pretty cool.

This previous may get you started.

If you Google it the prime contractor has a good
Web Page and the Air Force has another.

I still like Big Ronnies Shining Light
We should build a 100 or so of these
Our future special ops guys could walk into a village
unarmed, point at someone and have them disappear in a flash of light. Word would quickly get out, Allah's punishment has arrived. No need for Gitmo or secret prisons with this method.
