Sound in that range doesn't stun. It destroys.

Ha! That was my first thought, too. I have a ton of mylar baggies for long-term food storage and was wondering how well it would would. I know that thin metal flashes in the microwave, so I’m not sure if I’ll be protected or popcorn.
Yes, I believe Rand's device used sound waves. I think they used it wrong and took down a railway bridge across a river (perhaps the Mississippi?)
Yeah, I can see this being employed to keep American citizens within the government specified “Free Speech Zones” the next time the demorats gain power.
I prefer cluster munitions.
Israel developed this 30 years ago.
This is why our Founding Fathers did not want a standing army.
I prefer something that would make them uncontrollably spew at both ends.
I’m mean that way.
Agree. Also, “no long term studies have been done on the effect of this ray and its denaturing of crucial biological proteins in its victims”, is going to be an argument, ignoring that the other option might have been shooting large holes in that ‘victim’.
Sad it won’t work retroactively.
Build the wall!
“There is already crowd weapons used in violent protests in large areas and it is called sub-sonics.”
Bring on the “Brown Note” machine!
I never find someone inventing a more effective means of controlling demonstrators to be a heartening prospect. You bet that these will be used on American citizens.

First thing I thought of also. This will never be used on the border, Too many 10 year old children will be used as shields. It will be crowd control at conservative political rallies and demonstrations.
Probably wouldn't even have to be solid. Take a look at the mesh on the door of a microwave. A large shield of similar material would likely defeat it. I wonder if chain mail would do the same. Might be a good time to invest in chain mail shirts for future domestic protests, once the democrats gain power again.
...all wrapped in aluminum foil.

Buy stock in aluminum foil mfgrs.
This thing was always grossly inappropriate for domestic enforcement, but it’s quite ideal for controlling crowds of invading aliens.
If so,see if it is able to withstand LEAD!

I would like to think that if bad people were aware of a machine that is capable of causing anywhere from nausea to death with no sound, no explosion, and no fire, there would be a recognition of concern at the least. And it doesn’t clobber property.

I though microwaves were much higher...nanometer bands, etc.
