Slightly off topic, but one of the weapons I fear the most is a non-visible spectrum anti-personnel laser.

Bullets are already close to that: invisible, long-range, and shot from very compact, inexpensive weapons, compared to lasers.

The thing that scares me is the silence.

Pretty far down my list, compared to MIRVs.

Also, it's not like you're going to see the bullet hitting your head, or the landmine that'll blow you up, or the IED that you tripped over. Not until it's too late, anyway.
