You are talking about the fabled C.I.A. "Heart Attack" Gun.

www.youtube.com...

Yes it does exist, only it's not some Gammaray gun or anything, it shoots near instant biodegradable, undetectable micro darts.

It was declassified apparently in 1975.

My understanding is that an EMP portable unit would only disable electronics. i.e. remote monitoring equipment, pacemakers, cell phones, auto's or, portable weapon platforms (such as the 10Kw solid state laser weapon system that does exists today, just google it).

I don't think one of these would kill you unless you had a pace maker installed.

Here's a good video I found on youtube of the Rail gun testing done by the Navy, www.youtube.com... other than that I am pretty sure they haven't tested or at least unclassified anything smaller then this.

Now that would be a great gun,turn hate into love!
Unfortunately we live in a world where hate and war are just to profitable for the fat cats to resist.

Meh. There are a couple of tripod mount prototypes that sort of do what you're talking about. Sort of. One of the technologies was abandoned a few years back as being basically workable but totally impractical in the field. The other is still pursued, sometimes actively, sometimes on the back burner under another name.

Nothing shoulder fired, though. Not yet, anyway, although the last one I saw was a bit smaller than they used to be. They really want it to get there, though, and maybe one day they'll get it. The power supply is the main issue, that and cooling. Used to be an Alliant TechSystems project. I see variants of it get bid out by various military groups pretty much every year, SOCOM is generally on that one.

FWIW, the agency didn't stop with the little gelatin darts with the neuropeptide payload. There was a bid out maybe five, ten years ago for a new updated system, think of it as sort of a Taser with mods. We fiddled around with it forever but couldn't get past a basic roadblock - you had to actually spear the target with both probes to get it to work, and even then it took several seconds of signal analysis and stimulation to do the job. Might as well make it a contact system with handles, which is not what they wanted. There wasn't any way to do the thing with an arc like you do with a Taser, when the probe hangs up in clothing. You had to separate out cardioelectric signals from the ton of noise the arc connection made, and we just couldn't do it reliably. Alas.

Well, that's one. The one they killed off about 10 years back. There was a meeting where it was pointed out by a 2 star that it was less accurate than a rifle, about 50 times as bulky, had to be mounted to a HMMV for power and transport and had less range than a rifle. When I say rifle I mean M16, not something like a Barrett.

The comment was on the order of "Ok, if I truck it in and have a team to run it, for a half million bucks this thing can break bones at 100 yards, but for 2 cents I can have any halfass infantryman poke a hole in you at the same distance. Why should we continue to fund it?" End of development, because you know, he's right.
