Platypus Handgun Malfunction, Directed Energy Weapons
A malfunction with a new Platypus 1911 handgun is attributed to "weak-wristing" or a stiff spring. The conversation shifts to "LOCUST," a 20-kilowatt directed energy weapon used to shoot down balloons. The hosts debate the definition of a directed energy weapon, with one arguing that a laser is simply a light beam rather than an "invisible wave."
