Currently is seems to do what anything .50cal or higher can do faster and a lot cheeper. However, it's sort of like watching the first guy to use a musket...
He comes walking up with the bulky, hard to load, inaccurate, almost as dangerous to himself weapon and stands beside a guy with a longbow and some arrows. The guy with the bow and arrows currently has the better technology but, give it about 400+ years of innovation and you get a mini-gun. ;D

The article continued stating around 2020 for the FEL (free electron laser) at 500 KV which "cut through 20 feet of steel per second". That sounds very very powerful and don't blink 2020 is just around the corner...better put on my laser proof sunglasses.  |
