I'm speculating that the plasma bolt could be better controlled by a magnetic vortex funnel field of some sort.

I'll stick with my Louisville Slugger and a shotgun.
Field tested and proved effective.
It can latch on to the "tooth filling of a terrorist". OUCH!

I don't really like Rense as a source but a scout mentioned that they "Melted a f##king bus" from a wierd track.

It needs a pretty significant power supply. Both for the laser and for the electrostatic charge.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., or GA-ASI, the San Diego-based company that makes the Predator and Reaper drones, is undertaking a privately funded study to integrate a 150-kilowatt solid-state laser onto its Avenger drone. If the company succeeds, a drone with a high-energy laser will be a reality at some point in 2017.
In June, the company delivered a 150-kilowatt liquid laser to the Pentagon for extensive testing at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. For comparison, the 30 kw laser (output) currently on the Ponce in the Persian Gulf has more than enough output to destroy an enemy drone or blow a hole in a boat. In addition to 5 times the power, the significant increase in beam quality provides significantly higher lethality than the system on the Ponce.
