We keep getting more and more amazing weapons but how will they fight the burning of our cities, the soon to be 20 trillion dollar debt, the hatred of Christians...I don’t know.

I hope they are better than those issued to Imperial Storm Troopers. They can’t hit anything. Also their armor must have been lowest bidder as it doesn’t stop anything.

Just a general observation, but these kinds of weapons require a lot of energy. It seems like good old projectile weapons still pack the biggest bang for the buck.

Bluetooth-enabled improvised explosive devices

Blasting a circuit designed to trigger an explosion with a bunch of energy seems pretty risky to me. Particularly if the IED is large enough to be dangerous at the range of the weapon. Its kind of like throwing rocks at unexploded ordnance or a land mine you see in the road.

A carefully controlled version, perhaps mounted on a robot might be more useful.

Now, that’s what you need to take down an annoying consumer “drone” (remote controlled helicopter toy with a camera on it). Gentlemen, start your reverse engineering engines!
