OK, that's what you meant. Probably something for the mad scientists, though even the sane ones will have weird ideas like windshield wipers or replaceable outer layers for the faceplate (one gets too bad, remove it and pull another from the box).

The experimental phase of weapons development (and tech development in general) is going to produce a range of oddities. In this instance it's one of the reasons that some nations are more interested in energy weapons.
