New non-lethal weapon being used in Iraq

"U.S. soldiers in Iraq have new gear for dispersing hostile crowds and warding off potential enemy combatants. It blasts earsplitting noise in a directed beam."
This thing is cool, I've heard it, and believe me IT HURTS.
Anyway here is the link to the article.
I'm also interested in the energy beam....

Yea, I read that too. Have you ever seen that foam they use to get people all sticky and constricted? I wonder if that was just a concept or they actually use it?

I forget where i think it was on tactical to practical im not too sure but they showed that thing your talking about with the sound and i saw how it worked on the host and trust me it hurt like hell he wanted to get out the way of the path as fast as he could and he said it hurt and well he didnt want to do it again its liek a enormouse non stop screech man will it give you a migraine and end some

in michigan here we use the same thing on low overpasses... there's a sensor about 300 yards before the overpass, if a semi passes through the sesnor it sets off the noisemaker so the semi can stop before ramming it.
