    I assume it is unable to strike targets from beyond the horizon.

    I imagine they already have hand held lasers with some sort of back system, shotgun/laser would be great something that could burn off the feathers

    Surely they could have selected a better name for the ship than USS Ponce?

    "Ponce is the only ship of the United States Navy that is named for Ponce in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which in turn was named after the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, the first governor of Puerto Rico and European discoverer of Florida."

    One or two well placed shots at the sky, and there goes the internet bye bye...and NZ Post will be back in business delivering our hand written note to each other.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Think it only has a short range anyway, a mile or 2. Love to know what the reload speed is.....probably classified.
