Tommy Posted January 1, 2003 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Another interesting experiment from the Department of Defense. "...the VMAD is a giant version of your microwave oven, without the safety box surrounding it..." "Official propaganda on the device is that it makes one's skin only lightbulb hot, enough to force a person to run but not enough to cook him. Of course, there is no proof this can be achieved, because the results of tests on people are classified. It's safe, insist the inventors, the air force's Directed Energy Directorate in Albuquerque."

Althalus Posted January 1, 2003 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Excelent a safe weapon, just what we need, a weapon that will let the enemy get back up and try to kill you again a few minutes later. I just wonder whether it will go ding after they stop firing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarro Posted January 2, 2003 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2003 those weapons arent made to fight an enemy at war... they are made to fight our own people. you don't want to kill the slaves you know- just keep them in working shape and off the streets.

Homer Posted January 2, 2003 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2003 This weapon system isn't intended for the battlefield, but instead is intended for purposes of peacekeeping missions and riot control. There was a special December issue of Popular Science where the whole magazine was about 21st century weapons. The magazine discussed this in greater detail, and was even unbiased, as this linked article certainly was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloated Corpse Posted January 2, 2003 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2003 It might not kill instantly, it'll just take decades to kill someone. I don't know how they will pull off using microwaves without giving someone cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
