The 10 metre air pistol is an Olympic shooting event governed by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). It is similar to 10 metre air rifle in that it is shot with 4.5 mm (or .177) caliber air guns at a distance of 10 metres (11 yards), and that the match consists of a qualification round of 60 competition shots within 75 minutes.
Directed-energy weapon. Police car equipped with an LRAD -500X sonic weapon (Warsaw, Poland, 2011). A directed-energy weapon ( DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams.
During this time, a separate RFP was released for A-X's 30 mm cannon with requirements for a high rate of fire (4,000 round per minute) and a high muzzle velocity. [19] Six companies submitted aircraft proposals, with Northrop and Fairchild Republic in Germantown, Maryland , [ 20 ] selected to build prototypes: the YA-9A and YA-10A, respectively.
A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i.e. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot. The small width of the beam and the low power of typical laser pointers make the beam itself invisible in a ...

DragonFire is a British laser directed-energy weapon (LDEW). It was first unveiled to the public as a technology demonstrator in 2017 at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference in London and is being developed by UK DragonFire, a collaboration consisting of MBDA UK, Leonardo UK, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
Nd:YAG laser with lid open showing frequency-doubled 532 nm green light. Nd:YAG laser rod. Nd:YAG ( neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant, neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd (III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in ...
The High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance ( HELIOS) is a 60 kW+ high energy laser designed to intercept aerial threats such as drones, missiles, and other airborne targets and even small boats. It was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin, which was awarded a contract to design such a weapon in January 2018.
