there are several different links, that result from using Google and the words EM pulse weapon or HPM and weapon.
My question is does anyone have a link or read anything that is NOT a web page created by an individual? I am aware that it is hard to find websites
on classified material, but I am hoping that someone may have some info
To me either of these weapons, would be the perfect weapon, since it would disable any electronic device that it was used against (including the
electronics that some rifles have IE laser sight laser scope etc).
Also, whatever happened to the Neutron bomb?
en.wikipedia.org...
Yes they would be the perfect weapon, but creating a usable EMP can be difficult. Other than nuclear explosions, the only way I know to make a EMP
device is charging a coil wrapped arround C4 and blowing it up, releasing the electrons from the coil.
Now Neutron bombs are VERY scary. Actually they almost caused WWIII back in the 60's and 70's. The problem was sience there tactial warheads, with
little blast radius, they are way to "Easy" to use. Because of there relitivially small amount of fallout, nuked territory could be re-occupied by
invading troops in 48 hours. Back in the 60's the US thought it was a good idea to forward deploy many of these "tactial" nukes in western
European nations boardering the Communist block, to thwart off invasion. That pissed off the Commies, and then eventually lead to the ABM treaty in
the 70's. Part of that treaty says we will take our nukes out of thoes countries, sience then they have all been kept in the US (or so they say).
It does seem like there is not a whole lot of talk about thoes nukes though. I wonder why that is? Most articles don't talk about how they are
actually more deadly than conventional nukes if you are close, because the amount of radiation that they put out can go through like most, if not all
of the current sheilding that is out there(I think I read like 6 feet of concrete), with the exception of DUMBs (Deep Underground Millitary Bases).
