It took me a while to figure out whether this is even legit, but it looks so cool that it hardly matters. A bunch of defense industry sites are running posts today about this non-lethal laser gun supposedly under development by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate. This two-wavelength laser doesn't blast holes in your enemies or even knock them out the way a Star Trek phaser might. Instead, it temporarily blinds them so you can run up and kick them in the groin. Right now there are only two prototypes in existence, so it looks like the troops are going to have to keep shooting regular bullets for a while longer.
