Man Invents Functional Homemade Laser Shotgun, It’s Terrifying and Totally Awesome

Ben Graham | July 14, 2015

A self-described “DIY Laser Guy” has made the first step towards arming the machines of Skynet in the future. He’s created an extremely powerful laser shotgun that puts out a whopping 40 watts of power. Next thing you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger will show up and take the darn thing to go after Sarah Connor.

 

 

This mad scientist goes by the moniker of Styropyro on Youtube but, in reality, he’s really a college student named Drake Anthony. Anthony is 22-years-old and he is triple majoring in chemistry, physics, and math at Southern Illinois University. 

He states his goal on his Youtube page, writing “My hope is that some of my younger viewers will see that science can be a lot more fun than what school can present, and maybe give them enough of a spark to use science to change the world someday!!”

So basically, he’s Bill Nye the “Science Guy” with a death-ray fetish. Check out the video below where he burns a variety of targets with this mad creation of his.
