Burn baby, burn! :)
Sounds like something Tony Snow could use on the White House press corps.
This would be useful at global warming demonstrations. "global warming, I'll give you global warming"!
Cool, use it in Afghanistan & Iraq against the terrorists.
When they get so hot they drop their weapons, finish them off with live ammo.
Toward the end of a very cold January here in the Northeast - as the nation shivers under all that "Global Warming" - I'm wondering how much a home unit would cost.
The first time a terrorist's kid gets nuked the dems will outlaw it.
. . . and on the streets of the USA withing 5.
I wonder who'll be in power then? . . .
They should do an operational test on the aging hippies and moonbats at the Mall this weekend in DC.

HEAT-RAY WEAPON
 |
The weapon - called the Active Denial System - projects an invisible high energy beam that produces a sudden burning feeling, but is harmless. Military officials believe the gun could be used as a non-lethal way of making enemies surrender their weapons. Officials said there was wide-ranging military interest in the technology. "This is a breakthrough technology that's going to give our forces a capability they don't now have," defence official Theodore Barna told Reuters news agency. "We expect the services to add it to their tool kit. And that could happen as early as 2010." 'Blast from an oven' The prototype weapon - called Silent Guardian - was demonstrated at the Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.
A beam was fired from a large rectangular dish mounted on a Humvee vehicle. The beam has a reach of up to 500 metres (550 yards), much further than existing non-lethal weapons like rubber bullets. It can penetrate clothes, suddenly heating up the skin of anyone in its path to 50C. But it penetrates the skin only to a tiny depth - enough to cause discomfort but no lasting harm. A Reuters journalist who volunteered to be shot with the beam described the sensation as similar to a blast from a very hot oven - too painful to bear without diving for cover. Crowd control Military officials said the weapon was one of the key technologies of the future. "Non-lethal weapons are important for the escalation of force, especially in the environments our forces are operating in," said Marine Col Kirk Hymes, director of the development programme. The weapon could potentially be used for dispersing hostile crowds in conflict zones such as Iraq or Afghanistan. It would mean that troops could take effective steps to move people along without resorting to measures such as rubber bullets - bridging the gap between "shouting and shooting", Col Hymes said.

we need to make it lethal....so I gave it MORE POWER!!!! UH..UH..UH..OHYEAH..UH..UH..!
Heat-ray? This is a microwave spallation weapon, surely?
I heard this on the radio this morning here. They had audio clips from the miltitary volunteers being "shot." Absolutely hilarious.
Gezz #&*$%^ that hurt!! Son of ^&*(%&^%**(. It was great.
Should have called it the Ronald Ray Gun. :)

Let's see...50 C...50 x 9 = 450...450 / 5 = 90...90 + 32 = 122.
So, used to control anyone south of the Mason Dixon line will be as much control as a heat wave.
And, it won't work in Iraq, where it may work as an airconditioner, bringing the temp down a few degrees.
Any possibility this was designed to control Ted Nugent when he goes wango tango after finding out Hitlery Clinton is president?
