The next war will be fought with lasers beside computers, I'm wondering could a bullet proof vest coated with highly reflective surfaces protect user from laser blast. The laser in question is similar to those used in Sci-fi movies such as Star Trek, etc, meaning the output is mainly electromagnetic radiation not hot gas such as plasma.
