        I’m wondering if this class of devices counts as the first man portable directed energy weapon fielded in combat. There have been laser weapons that were ship or shore based. I think even some that have been some experimental plasma weapons that are truck mounted. Through all of this though, no man portable…until now?

      Think of it as a directional electronic warfare gun

        Definitely not a rifle. I might even call it a weapon instead since it’s so far from projectile firearms the names imply.
