Remember does cool weapons that pretty much every alien in every sci-fi movie has? That awesome laser weapon he got straped to his arm and shoot without even touching? well now you can have one too! The Tunnel Glove has two modes, tunnel AND dot, and the best thing is that it's activated by clutching a fist so you don't even need to tuch it, just like in the movies!

Imagine how cool that would look with a fog machine...
Now if only there was a way to pulse the laser in such a way to create a strobe effect, where it looks like rings instead of a tunnel... Is that possible?

Yep it would be possible. But your "ring" would travel at the speed of light, so you had better look quick ;)

I demand the triple dot predator LAZER targeting system.

Combine this with a smoke ring cannon and you'll really have something impressive.
