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

Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. 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 “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

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.
