#LAPD raid goes from bad to farce after #gun allegedly sucked onto MRI machine

Source: https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/lapd-cannabis-mri-raid-19789448.php

At one point, an officer walked into an MRI room, past a sign warning that metal was prohibited inside, with his rifle “dangling… in his right hand, with an unsecured strap,” the #lawsuit said. The MRI machine’s magnetic force then allegedly sucked his #rifle across the room, pinning it against the machine. MRI machines are tube-shaped scanners that use incredibly strong magnetic fields to create images of the brain, bones, joints and other internal organs.

" #Russia has successfully tested a #laser #gun

In Russia, they conducted successful field tests of a laser gun to #destroy various types of #drones.

" Successful tests of a combat laser designed to destroy unmanned aerial vehicles were carried out at one of the Russian military training grounds. The laser gun demonstrated high efficiency in hitting UAVs in the near zone," a media source said.

In tests, the combat laser of the infrared spectrum ensured the physical destruction of drones, in particular, burned through the aerodynamic surfaces of the vehicles or burned their body along with on-board equipment. Drones of both aircraft and quadrocopter types were destroyed by the laser, the source noted.

Today, the leading countries of the world are actively working on tactical laser suppression and destruction systems, which should, in particular, strike drones and ammunition in the air in the near zone."
