BBC News said:

US Army scientists are developing a weapon which can fire a laser-guided lightning bolt at a target. The Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) is designed to hit targets that conduct electricity better than the air or ground that surrounds them.

I was thinking the same thing, but from Quake instead of UT04.
It also reminds me, mechanically, of the Arc Projecter from Mass Effect 2.
"All I say is that I think it is damned unlikely that anything like a central cosmic will, a spirit world, or an eternal survival of personality exist. They are the most preposterous and unjustified of all the guesses which can be made about the universe, and I am not enough of a hair-splitter to pretend that I don't regard them as arrant and negligible moonshine. In theory I am an agnostic, but pending the appearance of radical evidence I must be classed, practically and provisionally, as an atheist." ~ H.P. Lovecraft

Sounds like the thor-2 laser they'd shoot down ufo's with, or the laser stun gun that fires two oppisite charged laser's, that discharge upon contact!

I'm getting Palpatine palpitations just thinking about it...
I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.
