jacksonpollock··on Sailor pictured with laser rifle on board USS Minnesota nuclear sub
It sounds like it is more of a warning "you are in our way" device? "For long-distance hail and warning, especially during maritime security, the GLARE® LA-9/P combines a powerful green beam with Eye Safe® technology.

Once the bystander has moved out of the NOHD, the laser output instantly resumes."
