Ship and tank mounted railguns, some form of active camoflauge?
Yes, actually. All of those are well into prototype development.

And that's why I want to work for BAE.  Because RAILGUNS.  Or COILGUNS.  I don't know which. 
But do they seriously have active camo in prototype development?  I thought they were still at concept planning or something.

They do. This is what they hope to accomplish.

Right now it is less active camo and more projected imagery, but this is only the beginning.

They've been steadily scaling up the size and effectiveness of actually for reals light bending cloaking devices too.

Does this beckon the beginning of the age of the space marine
Most countries already have their future soldier systems out or will soon. No genetically modified giant humans yet, it is considered unethical by the medical community.

Or the age of attaching mirrors to fighter jets?
No, if your fighter jets are getting shot at you've already lost them.

And what's next?
Stealth and speed and communication. And swarms of deathbots that explode in peoples' faces.

Ship and tank mounted railguns
Railgun research was cancelled.

some form of active camoflauge?
Being researched by civilian and military scientists.

Aw, a laser ship. Couldn't they host a laser-light ship instead? Have everyone rock out to some hot licks. :P

In any case Boeing has been using lasers on a few of their planes they made for the US military for a while already now. Nothing new.

Pew pew!

The US will never win a war from a country that can cause earthquakes at will.
It's not because Tehran's on a fault line, it's the women's fault [line]! AMIRIGHT OR AMIRAN?

In all seriousness the concept that nekked time causes Earthquakes is awesome, if only it were true.

Besides everyone's wrong. New Zealand for example doesn't sit on a fault line yet it still experiences Earthquake.

Clearly, sheep are to blame.

Heard it here first.
