Doughnut Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Georgia - The military's new weapon is a ray gun that shoots a beam that makes people feel as if they will catch fire. The technology is supposed to be harmless ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢â∠"A time comes when silence is betrayal" MLKJ Speak your mind, but be civil.Get mad, but do not rage.Do unto others as you would want done to yourself.

Barihawk Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 You mean a DEW? They've had those for years. Concentrates microwaves on a person, which flash heats the water in their skin, which makes the burning sensation. Can disable a person for 15-30 seconds. Looks like a rifle. There's also a variant that fires a light pulse, which can knock a human out for several minutes. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just heard about it. And I don't seem to remember them saying it was new, just releasing it as a headline.

Faux Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Does it work like an insta-cancer weapon? Especially on lighter skins? :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Does it work like an insta-cancer weapon? Especially on lighter skins? I don't have the official research on Directed Energy Weapons. I just know that they are in research, and that they were used in a book series I read (Microwave DEW's in Left Behind, and Light Pulse DEW's in Debt of Honor.) My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLancer Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The weapon has a serious vulnerability, also in a political sense: Some protestors could martyr themselves and stand in the way of the beam long enough to get serious injury, or even death, no matter the pain. Way to get a reputation for killing civilians then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Too Far Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 if it realy is npt harmfull i would want to get one tested on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusqi Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It is a non-lethal weapon, great, but what bothers me about this is that they're talking about using it to disperse crowds. I'm just not happy about governments that feel like they need to have weapons to disperse crowds. A crowd should be powerful, butd a good government should have no reason to fear one. For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmay929 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 ^^^^Futureweapons? Yea, that show is pretty interesting. I was able to catch it a few times. But this other thing sounds pretty cool. I wanna know what it feels like to actually get hit with one. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microwave ones cost about $800k and the light pulse DEW costs around 1.2 million each. Needless to say, these are just prototypes. Each has cheaper variants that are much much larger.

Wachtwoord Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I read about it in the newspapers. A journalist of Reuters "tried", he said it felt like he was burnt for a few secs. It must be a horrible pain. Eventhough it's pretty hard to resist long enough to get hurt, but I can see some big incidents happen with this thing. :( This also seems like the perfect weapon for dictators. Can you imagine it? "*Yawn* again a stupid riot. Time to make the millions I stole from the people worth again." (Yea, my english sucks indeed.) Good job Bush When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for technology developed under Clinton's administration (and I must say that Clinton had nothing to do with it). It's humane compared to bean bags and tear gas. Most certainably better than a repeat of Kent State. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.
