- The H.A.L. is G.I. Joe weapon from the A Real American Hero series.
The H.A.L. (Heavy Artillery Laser) cannon is a mobile-ready weapons platform. One blast from the H.A.L. can obliterate a tank. Despite that immense power, it is designed to be light enough to be easily towed by even a V.A.M.P.
Features[]
The H.A.L. features twin laser cannons. Normally, lasers would cause the turrets to become too hot that would render them inoperable. Advanced heat dampeners allow the H.A.L. to be operable for several firings. The laser cannons are usable for 30-hour cycles. A state-of-the-art computer system and synchronizers enable it to make every shot count.

Grand Slam used a H.A.L. to pound away at Cobra forces in the mission to rescue Dr. Adele Burkhart.[1] The H.A.L. would play a part in stopping a Cobra battle robot running rampage in the Pit. Even then only as dead weight as it wasn't armed. Clutch, Steeler and Breaker threw it down an elevator shaft in hopes of smashing the climbing robot with it.[2]A few issues later, another one lasts about thirty seconds in the Joes' first and only chronicled battle with the Cobra S.E.A. Legss vehicles, taking one out before being blown up in return.[3]
