The mad Russians did it again

[Uncle_Vanya]

Laser pistol designed for Soviet cosmonauts back in 1984.

Designed does not mean works.

Wow, with non-working prototypes like these it's no wonder the news media is flooded with positive articles about the great super-power Russia today.
*whistles* a gun japped to a AA Energizer battery.

Pffff... Does it have IAS? ED? Knockback?

 

[Barney Stinson]

So because they created a concept model in1984, they "did it again" ?

Guess russia does do everything backwards

 

[Uncle_Vanya]

It wasn't a concept model, it worked, it could burn or blind a target at 20 meters. The Soviet Union made great advances in laser technology in the 80s. We went bankrupt trying to come up with a similar system to the hoax that was your Star Wars remember? And as we pumped tons of money into it we came up with some interesting things. (Remember those chemical laser tests boeing was doing a couple of years back? We did the same ones back in 1972) The laser pistol is one of them, although its not practical and never was since cosmonauts don't need guns. As for why we did it again, I didn't know that we did it until recently, so as far as Im concerned we did it again. Other examples of times we did "it" was then we learned of a way to contain superheated plasma while you guys in the West thought it was science fiction until we showed you three different prototypes of the TAKAMAK. There was a lot of stuff that came before and after it but what I find most awesome is this:

Ekranoplan FTW.

If anyone ever builds a Death Star it will be Russia.

Yeah, cause I'm sure no other country has ever advanced anything, ever. Why you constantly try and post these "this is why Russia is better than everywhere else" threads is beyond me. No one gives a shit.

 

[Tipsy]

Right...because military status has ever made anyone great; all that kind of thinking does is take away the stature of individuals as individuals and places all individual worth on the comparative power of countries. That kind of idea is just an ugly form of collectivism provides people with stature with no work of their own,

Not at all, rather it pushes people forward to achieve great things on their own for their country. Everyone builds on shoulders of those that came before them. And military status is just about the first thing that makes anyone great, might makes right and its always been like this, what world do you live in? Do you think US would be a superpower without its military?

This is a joke thread first of all, secondly you obviously give enough shit to post here. I found something interesting, I posted it, all there is to this, I already know that my dick is bigger than yours.

 

[RyanXWing]

I have yet to see any evidence of it working.

Where is a pretty good technical explanation on this site I found, its in Russian but I can translate the main points of it if you really want me to.

i heard the mushrooms in russia grow to abnormal sizes is this true

 

[Uncle_Vanya]

I heard that too, I don't know, well, we have different types of mushrooms than you guys, most of ours are eatable unlike yours. I heard some stories about really big ones growing in Ukraine due to effect from Chernobyl radiation.

Almost beats the 100foot warning on this $9.99 laser I saw at Target today.

Yeah, Raleigh, NC...in two weeks it will be Toronto, Ontario. Birthplace Leningrad, Soviet Union, coincidentally thats there I lived most of my life, I am very much Russian and thats never going to change. I do intend on moving back once Im done with getting my degree. You fail at wit, the Soviet laser isn't a warning light, its like comparing a light bulb to the sun.
