Considering you can build a laser that could blind someone out of a maglight and a CD Burner I don't doubt this tank could be used as a weapon but it would violate a few treaties to do it.
BTW the time this tank came about Choppers started getting Laser IR Jammers to deal with Stingers.
Today the US, Russia and China are all developing lasers that can shoot down UAVs and Missiles. If it can break apart an aluminum UAV I would not want to see what it could do to a person.
