When you were a kid and got that big pack of 500 black cat fire crackers, lets say they you liked to light them one at a time to get he most dramatic surprise effects, how much fun would it have been to terrorize the other kids by lighting one after another dud. Even if you could light the pack all at once and fizzle after fizzle resulted with only a couple popping, then what. The other kids would not have taken you serious and you would have been likely to look for another source of your boyish shock and awe. IMO The effect of watching the vast majority of the missiles being intercepted is like watching the firecracker fuses fissel with no pop at the end. I agree nothing is perfect but this is certainly impressive... "Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL):...It features up to 60 shots without reloading and, if it meets design goals, a probability of kill of nearly 100%* at a range of 5 km."*
