Yeah, but what would happen if the Military could have this "beam" envelop a 180 or 360 deg sweep continuously, as opposed to a direct point and shoot effect.
Especialy if it could go out 300-500 yrds.
The Iraqis not have any idea why they would start to "cook" if they got to close to a military vehicel or convoy, they can't see a microwave.
I guess youre right. It would make for an interesting show anyway!
The Iraqis not have any idea why they would start to "cook" if they got to close to a military vehicel or convoy, they can't see a microwave. Well, look at it as teaching a child not to touch a hot stove or radiator -- they can't see the heat, so sometimes they have to get burned to get the message (or, in the case of frenzied Islamics, partially cooked).
At any rate, Iraq should give this weapon's creators a definitive field test -- if it works against animalistic mobs, it will work anywhere.
At least Reuters will have to think up a new headline. Instead of "Coalition Forces fire into crowd of rioters," they might say "Marines Par-Boil Iraqi Freedom Fighters."
