October 13, 2017

Beijing, Oct 13 (INP) China has developed a new counter-terrorism laser gun capable of hitting the targets within 200 meters in just one second, the company which developed the equipment said. Hongfeng, a company affiliated with China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation (CASIC), first exhibited the laser gun at a counter-terrorism drill in Central China's Hunan Province, according to a statement published by Global Times on Friday. It has a handset for aiming and a back pack containing the power supply, a remote control and laser emitter. CASIC said it can hit a target within a range of 200 meters in just one second. Compared with other types of weapons, the laser gun shoots faster and more accurately. The gun makes no sound or light when fired, Yan Azhe, one of the gun engineers, told the Global Times. It is also easy to operate because it does not recoil, and inexpensive to maintain, Yan said. INP/AH
