Next up, sharks with friggen laser beams attached to their heads.

What happens if I get a mirror and reflect it back at them?

[SpartanSakaro 1977]

as you can see here, we obviously are no allowed to work on sharks.

[Siesan 1802]

It's just another step in drone warfare

next thing you know these things will fit in pockets and could be used to take our airliners

[TurtleFrenzy 2612]

Pretty legit.

[Mr British 210]

well only one thing left to do here

ALL PRAISE BE TO OUR AMERICAN OVERLORDS

What happens if I get a mirror and reflect it back at them?

Mirrors that could reflect 100% of light would be extremely expensive, and wouldn't make sense to have on an aircraft, as it wouldn't be able to sustain speeds on a normal aircraft, so there's that already, along with the main fact that the heat from this laser would still melt right through something like that, so long as it's in the right conditions.

Actually bought a powerful laser in Paris over break, imagine the gang fights once this tech gets out

Plus the fact that no one would fucking want their jet to be that reflective. Its about time something like this is actually being used.

no mirror can reflect 100% (plus kinda easy to see a jet thats glowing) so the only defense would be high density heat resistant plating but even then still hard to defend against
