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¢ââ¬Ã

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.

I just heard about it. And I don't seem to remember them saying it was new, just releasing it as a headline.

There's quite a few nifty wepons out there. There's a show on the Discovery Channel that actually gets to go test some of them ;)

^^^^Futureweapons?

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.)

It heats the water under a person's skin to 54 degrees Celcius

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...

if it realy is npt harmfull i would want to get one tested on me

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.

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.

Here is a list of weapons they have used, and will use on Futureweapons.

haha...DEW...funny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I WANT ONE :shock:

Good luck. 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.

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

There's quite a few nifty wepons out there. There's a show on the Discovery Channel that actually gets to go test some of them ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

future weapons? yeah thats awesome

you shall regret that soon enough

Has anyone seen Jackass where they test out a riot control gun?

 

 

 

Basicaly it shots minature bean bags. It left a massive bruise.

 

 

 

:x

Yeah, Bush is to blame for everything. 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.

OK you're absolutly right, it's not Bush' fault. But still, it seems like suck a weapon to me. What do I have to say then: "Good job America"?

Do you mean, Lazerbeam? :?:
