Some people believe that laser weapons is only a fantastic movie. However, this is not so long ago. Became aware of the successful testing of a new gun Lockheed Martin.

Your system company called beautiful – Athena. While deciphering the “name” is not that romantic – Advanced Test High Energy Asset.

If you believe the creators, they came up with the installation of a truly effective. Judge for yourself. From a distance of about 2 km, it disabled the passenger cars.

30-kilowatt platform in seconds burned a hood and disrupt engine.

Very demonstrative show of force. Said the engineer made using a unique technology. A plurality of laser beams were “merged” into one, which significantly increased the power.

When will the mass introduction – is unknown. However, the prospects for the invention are enormous. Lockheed Martin plans to mount Athena military helicopters, cars, boats and airplanes.

A very interesting gadget to hit the market of audio devices. He is a speaker for portable devices, made in the form of a box of .50 caliber ammunition. In the sale there are two models: a “light”, weighing 6.4 kg and two speakers and 15 watts, and “heavy”, weighing 6.9 kg, but are responsible for the sound of the two speakers, 100 watts.

The dimensions of both are 30×15.5×19.5 cm, and the life of the battery at full charge – 15 hours. Prices for the device is $ 320 and $ 450, respectively.

Resourceful American, Mr. Teslonian presented his vision of a ballistic single-shot weapons. Unlike most inventions here for energy transfer projectile uses a high pressure inside the barrel, which is achieved by pumping air through the pump. Unfortunately, the author demonstrates just one shot, after which used the shell was destroyed, which gives an idea of ​​the power of such an unpretentious and awkward “guns.”

In late July, on his YouTube channel under the name Canadian ThreeD Ukulele posted a rather interesting video testing on the range printed on the 3D-printer rifle called Grizzly. Unfortunately, after the first shot on the barrel and receiver rifles a distinct crack. Another enthusiast then promised to fix it and only now introduced an updated version of the rifle, called Grizzly 2.0, which can withstand 14 shots.

It is worth mentioning that the only metal part in the design of a gun is firing pin. All other details were printed ABS-plastic using the 3D-printer Stratasys Dimension 1200ES. The second revision differs increased in size by 50 percent of the barrel and receiver. It should also be noted that in the barrel Canadian named Matthew has done a helical rifling.

During the interview, The Verge , he said that he served as the inspiration of the world’s first gun, a fully 3D-printed on the printer by Defense Distributed.

We guns Grizzly 2.0 has at least two disadvantages: it is rather cumbersome compared to the same Liberator or LulzBot, and requires reloading after every shot. Matthew has promised that by the end of the summer will lay out in detail drawings Chain Gun Grizzly 2.0, so that everyone can print their own gun.
