The Doom BFG gun is the most badass weapon of the franchise. No wonder Doom was criticized multiple times for its violence considering it involves a gun like this. Now, China is making a real-life weapon with the same characteristics as Doom’s BFG.
Doom’s BFG is the most popular weapon in the game; we’ll let you guess what “BFG” stands for. It is a massively powerful plasma energy weapon which utilizes ionized Argent Energy. It fires a green burst of plasma, which damages enemies and vaporizes them upon impact. Players love using it because of its damage and because it feels very refreshing to shoot with such a powerful weapon. But, what would happen if a gun like this was real?
We thought that guns that fire lasers exist only in sci-fi games like Doom and in sci-fi movies. However, China is currently working on making a laser gun that will turn anything it hits into dust. This specific assault rifle is called ZKZM-500.
The ZKZM-500 will be able to instantly burn human flesh with one single shot of its laser beam. It will also have the ability to light anything it hits on fire. The laser beam can destroy any human tissue of any kind in a flash. Moreover, multiple layers of clothes will not save you either.
Luckily, ZKZM-500 will be used as an anti-terrorism weapon only on limited occasions. However, due to its silent characteristic, it will also be used in various secret military missions. Maybe China is hiding the truth behind this weapon to avoid a negative response to the production of ZKZM-500.
Nevertheless, the BFG remains the most powerful weapon between the two of them. ZKZM-500 will not be as over-powered and deadly as the BFG gun. In any case, this indeed is a huge technological step that will give us the opportunity to create more weapons that shoot laser beams in the future. Who knows? Maybe we will need them for a possible real-life Hell on Earth, especially now that Doom Eternal is on its way.
