GreenGriffin Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Are you seriously wondering whether this is real or not? Maybe this guy is hoping some silly third world country wires him $40 million for a test model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ill say this: that model might have something going for it, but the guy who rendered it didnt really do a good job at either skinning it and modelling it. Strikemax could make something better than that by banging his butt against the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp0nge Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 If any of this was real IMHO the US would have their hands on it, and keep it top secret locked in some maximum security room where no one else can get to it. Quote: LASER RIFLE" DESIGN A HOAX It's the kind of proposal that makes sci-fi dorks (including this one) quiver with anticipation: a 1999 design, found by DefenseReview, for a real-life laser rifle. So when I read about the far-out sounding "Gasdynamic Laser Weapon" on Slashdot, I fell for it. Without reading too carefully, I bought the gobbledygook about the Stavatti Corporation using streams of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium gases to help generate pulses of laser light. And I swallowed when I called the company, and was told the president was out of town, looking for government funding. But defence tech readers are smarter than its editor, and they immediately called bulls**t. "Looks like an April Fool's gag," is how several readers described the rifle design. "A very elaborate gag," added another. "Obviously written by an insider." A third noted newsgroup posts from 2002 calling Stavatti's designs for an "F-26" airplane into question. But the kicker came from Stavatti's own website: The company is the first in history to double as a drum maker and a defense contractor, you see. Stavatti Percussion conducts the retail sale of percussion products Stavattifounder and current CEO, Christopher R. Beskar, plays the bagpipes. Early in his piping career, Mr. Beskar joined a bagpipe band. This band was in need of drummers to play the snare in accompaniment of the pipes. Mr. Beskarbrother Shawn joined the band and became an accomplished pipe band snare drummer capable of Grade 2 competition while yet in High School. Later on, Shawn became CFO of Stavatti. While serving as CFO, Shawn began marketing Premier Pipe Band Products under a business entity designated DSDC. DSDC focused exclusively on the sale of high performance pipe band drums and accessory products. Reselling Snares, Bass and Tenor drums to pipe bands throughout the Midwest, in 1996 DSDC became a division of Stavatti Corporation known as Stavatti Percussion. Concentrating upon the value added resale of pipe band percussion products, Stavatti can address all your pipe band drumming needs! And Stavatti doesn't just design any weapons. "Stavatti builds space fighters," the company website says. "We know what threats are out there. A 9mm just woncut it when you are facing 30 ft tall insectoids, or the reptile alien overlords from Rigel." To battle these baddies, of course, you need a laser rifle. THERE'S MORE: Stavatti CEO Chris Baskar insists his company is legit. But he can't produce a single customer for his high-tech arms buisiness. In a phone interview from a Virgina hotel room, Baskar claims that he has "60 people in the company." But when pressed, he admits that all but three "are essentially assisting on a pro bono basis." He also says he sees nothing wrong with a company trying market laser rifles and drums at the same time. Yamaha, he notes, makes drums, pianos -- and motorocycles, too. What about the statements on his site about using his Stavatti guns to stop "alien overlords"? "It indicates a little bit of classified work," he replies. "Other than that, it's humor." Haha. Only thing futuristic that exists are those NANOTECH Suits the US Army is getting. Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal?

urze Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 About the founder of the company, Chairman Christopher R. Beskar... at http://www.stavatti.com/careers.html Quote: "Stavatti was founded by Christopher R. Beskar for the purpose of producing his aircraft designs. Mr. Beskar is the current Chairman, President & CEO of Stavatti and is also the majority shareholder, owning 58% of the company. In all likelihood, unless Mr. Beskar sells his stock for tens of billions of dollars, he will remain as senior executive. Hence, for all intents and purposes, he is the company’s dictator. Mr. Beskar is largely responsible for determining corporate policy and culture. If you work for Stavatti, you will work with him. Mr. Beskar is obsessed with performing as many tasks as possible. He enjoys designing, prototyping, testing and flying the aircraft. He likes meeting customers as well as marketing and selling the aircraft. He writes most literature and handles tactical and strategic management. He can apply for H-1B Visas and can do the Stavatti taxes. If feasible, Mr. Beskar would do everything at Stavatti, having all production aircraft built by robots and/or clones. In so doing, Mr. Beskar would receive all the profit associated with Stavatti and would be the only salaried employee. But that would tire him out and utterly destroy his family life." ...any further questions?! Leftside Limited - ideas and solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
