Is it possible that the blue light is a single for self hypnosis? The ATT were conditoned or brainwashed that whenever they see the blue light from lantern it would turn off the parts of the brain that regulate fear and reason leaving them with only one goal the destroy the target. Also at the same time stimuating the adrenial gland therefore not feeling pain. This would explain the almost blank look in their eyes when they beserk mode.
Their have been studies on controlling mind sets and chemicles in the brain using a key word or phrase that would activate the desired conditioning. Some of the key examples are hypnosis for smokers. Where a person is hypnotized to do or crave something else when they see or smell a tabacco.

It's the most realistic explanation for Oland's psycho-face, but it didn't explain how does he manage to take direct (and close ! ) hits, as shown in episode 2.
Another strange fact about his powers appears in episode 1 ...
He used his mantle to protect himself from the tank's hit, and then seemed afraid when the bad guy shot at him multiple times with an ordinary handgun ...
My own explanation so far :
His lantern contains some sort of radioactive matter, which reacts with some chemicals in his body, generating a force field protecting him from hard hits.
But it cannot withstand light hits, like gun bullets, or fire (that's why he used his mantle to protect himself from impact's heat).
It would be make him a real anti-tank trooper, and also a weak infantry fighter. Maybe the explanation for the destruction of his platoon ?
His psycho-face would be due to side effects of the chemicals, and the psychological consequences of numberous fights (or slaughters ) from the battlefield.
