The U.S. Marine Corps is taking a few notes out of Dr. Evil’s playbook and now wants to mount lasers on everything in its inventory—just as soon as they can figure out how.

According to ArsTechnica, the commanding general of the Marine Corps’ Combat Development Command, Lt. General Robert Walsh, informed defense reporters that “directed energy weapons” were the direction the Marines were headed. Or, basically, that lasers are the shit, because they totally are.

If you can power it, you don't have to carry ammo...

How do they do in blowing dust and bad weather, though?
