Description
Gentlemen, before I begin my demonstration, may I present a quandary. What is the primary determinant of victory in any military engagement? Is it tactical genius of the officer? The vigor of the individual fighting man? No! I submit that the key to victory lies in logistics! And what I have before me, gentlemen, is a weapon designed under the tenets of the philosophy of logistical superiority! May I present to you the Springfield Model 1890 Applied Aether Individual Weapons System! If that's too much of a mouthful, the boys and girls in the factory call it the flashlight.

Yes, gentlemen, we have emulated and perfected the technology of Mars! This is the first directed energy weapon system for the use of the individual infantryman in the world! The advantages of a directed energy weapon above that of conventional projectile systems are numerous. Directed energy weapons transmit damage instantaneously. The infantryman need only point the weapon in the direction of the target he desires to immolate, pull the trigger, and the flashlight will do the rest. But most importantly, gentlemen, is the logistical advantages afforded by this weapon. The M1890 requires no physical ammunition, only lightweight, compact battery packages. I need not tell you that munitions are heavy and bulky. To remove them from the supply chain will allow our boys to take the fight to the xeno with haste and ease!

Now, gentlemen, if you will follow me to the demonstration area. We have received a fresh shipment of live xenos from the New York Police Department just for this occasion....
