The USAF has an Anti-missile laser aircraft (Testbed only IIRC) based on
the
747, it uses a laser that is powered not by an electric generator, but
byt a
chemical reaction process.
It made me wonder a while back, why not use the same thing on a
tank-mounted
laser in DS2 - you'd have ammo charges, but it would be possible to use
such
a laser on a non-FGP vehicle.
