The ADS works by firing a high-powered beam of electromagnetic radiation in the form of high-frequency microwaves at 95 GHz.Similar to the same way that a microwave oven heats food, the millimeter waves excite the water and fat molecules in the body, instantly heating it and causing intense pain.

Wait a minute. I thought the purpose of going to war was to kill people and break things. That’s the unofficial motto of the US Marine Corps, isn’t it? I thought we were supposed to maximize enemy deaths, not minimize them. What am I missing here?

I think it would be pretty cool zapping people.

It’s very obvious. There is no goal here, unless it’s that nonsense about making Afghanistan into a Western style democracy. Fat chance. So, we keep on keeping on in an exercise in futility. Nobody seems to know what is going on or how it will end.

I learned that from Rush and that is why we don’t win wars anymore

The demo vids I've seen are impressive. Saw that guy from Future Weapons run like a little girl when he got zapped. The Viking Kitties would approve, methinks.

A bullet hole won’t do crap to it, unless the emitter is hit, or the optical sensors.

The trend is to fight wars in non-lethal riot control mode, while our domestic police become more and more military like. It’s all one big happy police action under global socialism.

Coming soon to a thug cop near you. And will he ever be itching to use it. More fun than a taser. Torture isn't allowed except against American citizens for not being compliant.
