That comment/analysis is not as far fetched as it sounds - at least the reasoning behind it.
During WWII we had a secret base in the SW desert where we were training bats to carry incendiaries to drop over Tokyo with the goal being set the thatched roofs on fire?
Had heard that one of the fires in Southern California was actually because of these bats NOT a Jap submarine??

The Royal Ulster Rifles Museum posted the photo
on their facebook page on May 22. Scroll down five posts from the top of the page linked. They haven't responded to requests for the source.

“It looks like a phased plasma rifle, in about the 40-watt range.”
No, it’s a 40MM flare gun with a 40 watt laser designator. Good grief!

I’m pretty sure it’s a beeber, and it appears to be set to stune.

I was thinking along that line, but with the notion that the top cylinder was nitrogen to extinguish and clear any remaining phosphorus fragments and cool the lower barrel.

It could be a faked photoshop and not a weapon at all.
