Popular Mechanics: Germany's Got a 4-Barrel Laser Gatling Gun

It's real and it's spectacular.

Drones are becoming a big problem for armed forces worldwide. They're small, difficult to detect, and operated by armies and terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.

The drone threat isn't just limited to the Middle East: in 2014, South Korean authorities found North Korean drones had overflown the Blue House—the official residence of South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

This week at the Defence and Security Equipment Industry in London, German defense contractor Rheinmetall Defence Electronics showcased a new sea-based anti-drone laser system. The system, according to Chinese web site qq.com, features not one but four high energy lasers (HEL) mounted on turret, making it look like some kind of laser gatling gun.
