Counter measures
Coming soon to a market near you. The amazing laser adsorbing keffiyah by General Dynamics. Guaranteed to reflect poorly on you or your money ba...will be returned to your surviving relatives.
I suspect that it won't be long before they dispense with the bullets altogether and just shoot the laser beam. I wonder what they are doing if this is the kind of thing that they tell us about.
I imagine what we could acheive if we weren't so afraid of each other and, on the other hand, I see what an incredible driver for technological development fear can be.

Re: Counter measures
Probably the best way to not get shot at is to not shoot at other people. Of course this doesn't always work.
I was reading a little about laser weapons and discovered that the US signed a treaty to not build blinding lasers. It is so bizarre that we would balk at blinding people but are fine with shooting them with a bullet.
There seems to be a strange lack of non-lethal weapon development. Set phasers to stun.
