| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | Post; Death Ray?Looks like they're going to field this thing after all. Remember the ray gun in alien movies that heated your weapon and made you drop it? Well 25 gigahertz of microwaves will do just that. In fact, it'll boil your eyeballs. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8644374/

| Centurion | It's an interesting technilogie, but I think its a little bit heavy for the use against riots.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | By rioters I assume they mean people who have engaged in looting, graffiti, and spontaneous acts of violence. Having said that I am fine with this. Bean bags kill people, so do rubber bullets, those are currently being used by police forces, and when the police do not intervene deaths are more likely due to the stupidity of these people's actions. If one person dying means that in the end more people will be saved from killing themselves through drunken stupidity or overzealous religious fanatics whipping people into an uproar fine by me. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | So i guess you'd rather see legions of riot police go to work with batons and rubber bullets? |

| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | My guys here have been replacing the head mirrors on the M1A1 tank Commander's Independant Thermal Viewer at $30,000.00 a pop. They are made from Germanium because infrared can't see through glass. The tank commanders said that the Iraqi kids are taking them out with slingshots. I would like to see a preemptive deterrent to the little buggers. This microwave weapon just may do the trick. |

| Banned ![]() | so i was reading about this and the people who were used for testing had to remove glasses and contact lenses. also metal and coinage from pocktes etc what about the "rioters", do they get the chance to do the same? and what about people who (for whatever reason) can't get out of it's beam? what are the effects on them. to me this weapon sounds horrific |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | That sounds a little wierd. Isn't something like that against the Geneva Convention?
