From David Jackson
So someone thinks that the laser weapon is unsafe because cumulative exposure can lead to long-term effects. I assume from the tone that your expert is unaware that the damage caused by the impact of a high-velocity military rifle round is much more serious and generally just as long-lasting (not just a little hole, like in the films).
This equipment could well save a lot of lives, even if the brave soldiers who stare at it unblinking for some time before escaping, have a vision deficiency later in life.
