A sensation of unbearable, sudden heat seems to come out of nowhere

Zap.

Paging Mr. Phil Carson, Mr. Phil Carson please come to the Mannville massacre and heat ray, thank you.

Mr. Bracken, your books are frighteningly prescient. You sure you don't got a Delorean with a flux capacitor?

The effect is so repellant, the immediate instinct is to flee

But in which direction?

I wonder what happens when Mr. Heat Ray meets Mr. Corner Reflector?

Thanks for posting the link to the book.

I recommend every FReeper read the whole series. So incredibly insightful, and entertaining to boot.

Yeah, I wrote that fiction about 4 years ago. I give it another 4 to be reality, somewhere in the USSA, putting down civil disorder of one stripe or another.

Yep, just in time for domestic use.

Here is my new slogan. If I could put it on a banner or poster, I would:

Obamarules
Losing my freedom was not the change I hoped for.

A lot of typos four years ago.

What came out “Hope and Change” was originally “Hoax and Chains”.

CMs and CSs? Don’t have any idea how, from my POV.

After heat rays, I’m seeing squadrons of 6’ quadrotors, armed with machineguns, programmed to hunt down and put all hominids in a given sector on the ground, motionless and cooling off.

Quadrotors play the James Bond Theme.

microwaves?

lets see,

cancer
sterility
brain damage
blindness from fine bloove vessel bursting

not to mention the tech will be sold to terrorists who will deploy a dirty non directional version.

Imagine a shopping mall full of people which gets locked.

also, would metal shield a person?

WRong quadrotor link, check this one out, and imagine them at 20X scale, armed with MGs, hunting you.

Maybe Big Brother will mount heat rays on these at full size. Or maybe, machine guns.

Remember comrades, a police state is a safe state, and if you have nothing to hide, you should not mind an observation visit from a friendly quadrotor.

Aggressive quadrotors, part 3

Tactically, no. Strategically, yes. They gotta make them things somewhere. Gotta fly them from somewhere. Gotta maintain them somehow. Gotta fuel them. Gotta communicate with them. The care and feeding of such devices are the strategic weak point.

Those that attack us are humans and we all know if it bleeds you can kill it.

During hostilities, a police state is a target rich environment. :)
