GUNS – Historians recorded guns were created by the Chinese named “Fire Lance”, a bamboo tube (or metal tube) that used gunpowder to fire a spear, invented in the 10th century, is regarded by historians as the first gun ever made. Gunpowder was previously invented in China in the 9th century. And it took years before laws and regulations were enacted in 1968 named Gun Control Act of 1968 as a result of the deaths of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

DIRECTED ENERGY – uses energy to “REMOTELY”, attack (connect) to the human body and mind “INTERNALLY” called – Directed Energy Weapons, Neuro technology, Bio Technology and Acoustic Weapons,. Regulations & Laws haven’t been enacted yet for them. Its all work in progress.
(DOJ 1999) – The idea of using light as a weapon can be traced back to Hippocrates, commander of the Greek forces in 212 B.C. His forces supposedly set fire to the sails of the Roman fleet by focusing sunlight with mirrors. Weapons systems based on lasers and ray guns, long a staple of science fiction, have captured the imagination of people everywhere. But with steady progress toward the development of lasers in the last 40 years, viable, state-of-the-art laser weapon systems have now become a reality. The production of lasers in the modern scientific world is fairly new. The first laser was developed in the 1960s and represented the beginning of a drastic change in how the military viewed warfare. The late 1970s and 1980s, too, marked a busy time period for developing lasers into possible weapon systems. All branches of the military and industry were striving to master high power levels, beam control, and adaptive optics. In 1999, the Department of Defense DoD formally recognized lasers as future weapons and began research and development RD. In 2000, the Joint Technology Office for High Energy Lasers was formed to bring all laser technologies together to develop a complete laser weapon system that could be used by the warfighter. This article discusses the following topics the Electromagnetic Spectrum Laser Fundamentals Military Laser History and Laser Types, including Solid-State Lasers, Chemical Lasers, Gas Lasers, Fiber Lasers, and Miscellaneous Lasers and Laser Weapon Development, which highlights some of the laser weapons that have been successfully developed over the past 40 years i.e., Baseline Demonstrator Laser BDL Hydrogen Fluoride HF, Navy-ARPA Chemical Laser NACL HF, Alpha HF — Built for Strategic Defense Initiative SDI Space-Based Laser SBL, Tactical High-Energy Laser THEL, Advanced Tactical Laser ATL, Airborne Laser ABL CO2 Chemical Oxygen, Joint High-Power Solid-State Laser JHPSSL, and the Navy Laser Weapon System.
