Beam of pain: Actual weapon

[Sexy Beast]

Apparently the U.S. Air Force has created an interesting new toy. Its called Active Denial System, or ADS. Basically it makes you feel like your on fire...but wont set you ablaze. Sounds fun right?

Oh how I want. That thing's pretty sweet.

 

[EarthBenders]

wow thats a trip..

 

[Rellik]

i wants.

 

[B man]

It's just a matter of time till they get that technology down in size. Then all the police will have it for crowd control etc.

Theres this weapon called like "hand of god" or somethin thats like a giant metal beam they launch from space that hits the earth and has the equivilent of a giant bomb basically because its going to fast

 

[Dreadmaker]

Damn it! They stole my plans! grr.... DREAD SMASH!

I mean...

wow... col wepon guys... i r lkieke DD

 

[žέяo]

thats scary!

Yeah, they've been thinking about that for several years now. It sounds pretty sweet.

It must work with some sort of ultra high or ultra low microwaves. The human body had too much water, cannot think of another wavelength they could use, short of some of the high energy wavelengths like xray and gamma.

There are two problems with this. First, how do you keep it straight? And how do you make it hit the exact spot you want? This beam is not the space shuttle. When it hits the ground it will be severely damaged. Also, kinetic energy is not as efficient as chemical. This bomb can be big, and the beam can be very heavy. But with the money you spend putting a really heavy thing in space you can make enough C4 to blow a mountain off.

WELL I didn't invent the weapon My friend was telling me about it, Im pretty sure it is to pin point accuracy, I think it was just not as cost effective as making a big ass bomb, not sure all the details but just the basics.

thats basically how we got microwave ovens. back in WWII (i believe i always get wwI and wwII mixed up) anyway. its cold in the europe/asian countries so some soldiers would jump infront of the radar-dishes for a second or two to "warm up"

well... it worked...

I watch somthing once where in WWII, the Japanese build a Ray-Gun, using Microwaves. But it was lethal of course, and could only kill a man within 100 ft. But had to shut down due to the power it took just to get to 100 ft. Think it was a Documentary on WWII experimental weapons.

lol maybe that will hurt a pyro pretty sweet
