Let's see, 59 cent bullets in a 40 Million dollar gun.... How many times you have to fire that thing before it becomes a good deal?

I'm kinda partial to the $750,000 to $2,000,000 missiles mentioned in the article. My pension depends on those kind of things.

According to the article 20 - 53. It's can compete with a 2 million dollar missle. That's discounting safety issuses with existing technology. Who knows what else is this puppy will do?

Ditto! Oh well, I guess I'll just head down to my basement and sip from my own stash. Maybe my best option in any case.
Seriously cool technology though.

All the army gave me in Vietnam was an M-16 rifle and an M-79 grenade launcher. They did, however, provide me with an unlimited amount of ammunition.

Would be interested to see if that is an issue or not.
This is a place where I have no problem with my tax dollars being spent. YMMV

Not a Navy type here, but one of the draw backs, I would think, would be line of sight. The target has to be in sight and therefore closer than one you may use a missile on.

This is first generation and that issue probably will not go away, that's just the physics of it (unless they figure out a way to make light follow a curve) but it is an option not previously available. Options are good.
