Bet even John of Argghhh! doesn’t have one of these in the armory.

The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all.

They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?

Uhhh, that’s very nice…
But I’d rather have something capable of blowing a person in half, and use the threat so implied, instead of something that the bad guys are gonna think, “I shall shoot at them, and I don’t have to worry about getting killed…”
“But it will same the lives of innocent persons who get caught in the combat zone.”
Answer: “They should have left yesterday…”
I’m with you. Prolly that’s a pre-planned product improvement model. Been reading all about those
Sounds like a gimmick requiring a semi-permissive head shot…
Untactical and not yet practical!
Ground warfare and insurgencies will not be won with hi-tech or any gimmick or specific tactic(s). Any enemy willing to commit suicide will adapt & prevail against all such devices, Buck Rogers included. No, this insurgency will be won, really won, by the ability to do what we do now with what we have. Our soldiers and Marines are motivated and want to win. Why won’t we let them? I know this is not PC, but what we lack is more measured brutality and the unvarnished violence to sustain.
But that won’t happen…yet. Therefore we wait..for another 9-11 event to wake up that % of the population that don’t get it and keep our hands tied…..
Sorry, the sentiment expressed above is always right at the surface…

What ever happend to that device that made it uncomfortably hot for those in range, and could easily suppress crowds or those who we were unsure if they were threats or not?
I’m not treading on OSPEC here am I? Please delete if I am.
