Secret Strobelight Weapons of World War II

[TLAM Strike]

Unfortunately on its first use against the Germans loud techno music began playing from the enemy lines and entire platoons could be seen dancing. Use in the European Theater was discontinued but the weapon continued to be tested in the Pacific...

I'm not sure whether this would have worked.


Imagine it is night, no one can see anything, when suddenly ... flicker flicker flicker ...

German tank commander:
"Do you see those flickering lights ?"
"Yes, commander !"
"Aim and shoot !"
BOOOOM

End of story

I take it you've never stared into a spotlight before? lol.

I had the misfortune of looking into this 1 million candlepower light and was temporarily blinded for a good few minutes (could only see a large green spot). I don't want to know what 13 million candlepower + strobing would do

And yes, I turned it on the rest of my family and my dog. Hilarity ensued.

I hate you for beating me to it, but I applaud you for the style.
