Link.

Well, it DOES weigh 5 tons, but still.
It's like Science Fiction becoming real life yet again.

I want one of these for my home.

Fixed. I didn't know such things were frowned upon, though I can understand why.

The Future Weapons show has covered this. They used it several times on the host, who described it as getting the full effect of a bad sunburn instantaneously. He didn't quite run out of the beam, but he definitely was motivated to leave.

Interesting. This reminds me of my crowd control training in which I had to play the part of the primary instigator for an unruly crowd. Long story short, it eventually took a full up blast of mace directly to my face to get me to submit. The next three hours were unpleasant.

It's not a ray gun unless it turns the victim into a glowing green skeleton!

Isn't this the same device we have a thread about in P&C?

P&C? What is political or controversial about a microwave gun? Is it the lethal vs. non-lethal force thing?
I didn't think to look there.

If that's the case then my apologies.
