Set phasers to 'stun'

Well, this is awesome. An energy weapon that can temporarily disable, but not cause permament harm. This will have a wide variety of used, especially in law enforcement. Eventually, we'll be able to subdue suspects, but not cause any harm (this is especially useful for the mentally disturbed suspects, who are a danger through no fault of their own).

She does. Check out the thread on energy weapons - it may be the best thread on all of ATS.

check it out!

In her words:

"Active Denial Technology: Non Lethal Pain/Discomfort Weapon

Basically, if you could point the output of a microwave oven at an enemy, you could with minimal power make him nauseated and give him severe headaches, as you turn up the power a little the results change to confussion and a general inability to think logically. As the power continues to be turned up the enemy will feel hot as the microwaves start affecting the water in the body. Although considered a non-lethal weapon due to it's ability to inflict pain and disorientation, the final or highest level of this weapon would actually incinerate the enemy. This could be a narrowly focused beam or it could be a broad beam that could affect a whole group of enemy combatants.

The way it works:
When it penetrates in, it activates the pain sensors, and you feel a lot of pain, Garcia said. But there?s no damage to body tissue in this mode although admittedly the weapon could be lethal depending on power output, making it nothing shy of 21 century electric napalm.

The program, according to military insiders, could be used for riot control and peacekeeping missions when deadly force is not necessary.

The device works by firing micro-millimeter waves that penetrate just beneath a person?s skin, heating it by a few dozen degrees and causing severe pain. Describing the panic-causing intensity of the pain inflicted by the high-powered microwaves, an un-named military officer who has experienced it had this to say: "All the glossy slide presentations cannot prepare you for what to expect when you step in the beam."

This weapon is already operational and in the field. "

Agreed MoOse!

Can I refer you people to the Terms and Conditions of Use, which state quiet clearly:

"2.) You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone."

Thank you for complying with this in advance.
