Microwave gun to be used by US troops on Iraq rioters (from ATSNN)

US troops to use microwave gun, which causes extreme pain while only penetrating 1 mm beneath the skin.
This weapon is non-lethal.
www.telegraph.co.uk
Microwave weapons that cause pain without lasting injury are to be issued to American troops in Iraq for the first time as concern mounts over the growing number of civilians killed in fighting.
The non-lethal weapons, which use high-powered electromagnetic beams, will be fitted to vehicles already in Iraq, which will allow the system to be introduced as early as next year.
Using technology similar to that found in a conventional microwave oven, the beam rapidly heats water molecules in the skin to cause intolerable pain and a burning sensation. The invisible beam penetrates the skin to a depth of less than a millimetre. As soon as the target moves out of the beam's path, the pain disappears.

I wonder what the slogan for this weapon will be?
"Come on boys, lets fry 'em". What will they come up with next?

Wow, this is great news. They definitely need to be prepared with specialized nonleathal crowd control tactics and weapons. I'm also thinking this
would be a good venue for 'glue guns'. The problem with glue guns is that its wildly expensive to clean up the glue, so it doesn't make sense for
a city to use it in its own limits. But iraq is pretty far out of the US's limits, so it could be used without any concern for how its cleaned up.
