Ladies and gentlemen, he’s back. Professional manufacturer of destructive implements Drake Anthony, also known as styropyro, has finished building what very well may be his magnum opus, his veritable piece de resistance – a 200-watt laser bazooka.

As the YouTube demonstration video clearly shows, blocks of wood, computer cases, and titanium-infused gunpowder doesn’t stand a chance. He’s previously made a 40-watt cannon, so this is quite the step up for this particular madman.
Perhaps we can all look forward to a supervillain showdown between Anthony, Colin Furze – who’s recently developed a super-hot, metal-explosive launching cannon – and the man behind the YouTube channel Photonicinduction, who's just built a series of powerful electrocution devices.
Marvel’s Avengers wouldn’t stand a chance.
