Geeze. And it seems bad that it's being sent straight to Iraq. I thought one of the reasons why Saddam was gotten rid of was so people could have big protests and all without fear of nasty things happening (though I guess if they are rioting its bad, but still.)

And it's unlikely it would be truly non-fatal. It seems they haven't looked at the great crowd control disasters that show what happens when a mass of people are trying to get away from something. I see stampedes occurring with people being crushed to death under foot.

Simple solution: Don't f***in' riot!

Try to go about whatever the hell message it is you're trying to broadcast to people who couldn't care less about it anyways through another medium source!

Or better yet they can use the weapon to create jobs in the fast food industry as the next big way to cook massive amounts of food in the smallest time possible. Look for an Iraqi Fried Chicken restaurant coming to a town near you, very soon! smile

I want one

Dagons Blade
Yeah me too! It would come in handy with all those ants I have in my backyard...

Shouldn't the government be coming up with new ways to defeat the insurgency instead of regular Iraqi people?

I always hate when PVS makes threads with titles like this because they are always negative towards the US...specifically it's administrators...


but for once I gotta agree. Nothing good is going to come out of microwaving someone alive. I don't know what rat they tested this crap on but Mr. Rat, you have my condolenses

microwave toasting weapons...they should be used against neds and chavs...

Yes... Regardless of human rights extendable to all other members of the planet, I fully agree on death beam deployment against the chavs..

Well in the case of the goths, you just aim at the nearest make-up shop..
Or use it to puncture little holes in their bedroom walls at their mom and dad's place and wait for the sunlight to do the rest...

The Rockers may be more of a challenge though... stick out tongue

I don't really understand how this thing works yet. If it works based on heat, then it would be bad if you had plastic lenses because they could melt to your eyes......not to mention what would happen to contact lenses. If you have glass lenses, they could break and the broken shards go into your eyes....either way.......wow......great new weapon no

Sadako of Girth
Bloody shame that... They have a lot to answer for there then, I consider myself quite up-on-things, but all I heard was the press angle..
And there are so many under the misapprehension as I was....
Hopefully word'll spread and they'll all realise the mistake they are making...

And also a shame that they couldn't have been more original with a discriptive for the new wave of thugs/wanna be villians rather than as it would seem to draw on an already existing abusive word for another bunch of people... sad

From now on i'll just revert to calling the ones I was referring to originally as dickheads instead... laughing

We already had a thread about something like this. Anything that's non-lethal can be used as an implement of torture. Tear gas can be used as an implement of torture. So could rubber bullets and bean-bag rounds.

Personally, I think it's really cool we're inventing stuff like this.

By the way, Link, PVS' threads are almost always anti-United States military and anti-Republican/conservative.

He is just angry a democrat wasn't elected and the country wasn't overun with terrorists.

Imperial_Samura
Tch, tch. Even if a Democrat had been elected, I am quite sure the US wouldn't have been "overrun by terrorists"

Though I have to wonder, when will we see this little riot breaking baby actually being used in the US? I mean riots occur there, and isn't it appropriate, if it's as good and safe as these experts claim, that it should be part of US riot squads arsenals? I mean really, whats good for the goose, is said to be good for the gander... And if it's good for a *rioting* Iraqi, that it's good for a *rioting* American. Or English Soccor fan. etc.

Perhaps, when dealing with people on KMC, I should be a bit more straightforward:

WE'VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THIS AND HAVE A WHOLE THREAD DEVOTED TO IT. THE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED THOROUGHLY.

Sure you wouldn't like to serve yourself first?

Same concept. Similar in nature to this thread. Fancy that.

(By the way, there's no 'and' in the thread title.)

its not the same concept at all.
one emits radiation and the other a electromagnetic pulse.
forgive me for thinking of the wrong torture device, but you are still

How is life under that bridge? Could you tell me the story about when you met those three billy goats? It is my favorite.

Darth Jello
so wait, microwaves work by making water molecules vibrate. so theoretically if the beam is widened and ampliphied, it could nearly instantaneously boil a group of peoples' organs from the inside, making them die in a horribly painful explosion. This would make it an incredibly destructive battlefield weapon, allowing a single array to horribly fry an entire army...That's scary.
Imagine what's gonna happen when the bush nazis start using this shit to enforce "free speech zones" (whatever the hell those are), and bust up civil rights, environmental, anti-bush, and union rallys? Imagine what'll happen when it's sold on the black market. or to all those rogue nations that carlyle and all of Cheney and Rumsfeld's old companies do business with anyway, like Lybia, Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea.
Interesting sidenote about North Korea:
who built their nuclear refineries?-Saudi-Bin Laden Group
who sold them their Reactors?-ADP (with then acting CEO-Donald Rumsfeld personally approving the deal)
-see it doesn't fall under the "trading with enemies" act if it's a foreign company (virgin islands), and you don't have to pay taxes either!!!

xmarksthespot
Maybe I'm being idealistic but if the amount of money devoted to developing military technologies such as this weapon was put to more productive uses a lot of the world's problems (may not be solved but) would be considerably less in magnitude.

(I'm not singling out the United States but just to provide an example)
Since 1960 the U.S. has donated in direct aid (inflation adjusted) $50 billion. That is a lot of money, but it's also a lot of time. To put that in perspective, the projected cost of the Iraq war for a single year is about $80 billion.

Excellent point. What i'd like is an explanation why it's being used in Iraq and not in the US as well. I'm assuming it's not being used against Brittish Soccer fans, cause....well.....it's an american weapon for now wink
But seriously.....if it's so "harmless" then why not use it in the USA right? erm

Netherlands, huh? Well just remember that about 8200 good American soldiers lay in your cemeteries in Holland because this "damn powerful nation" using our "damn power" for your freedom. And you were a "normal" country who was attacked for far less than what Bush has done in the last few years, and by a man who was about 100 times as crazy. And he almost succeeded.. Say what you want about America being so powerful, it's your right and I won't deny you that, but just remember that that power you mention also went to help you guys out when you were too weak to defend yourselves.

That's all I ask.

And by the way, you're welcome. Peace brother. smile

xmarksthespot
I don't know if you can use past magnanimity to justify present transgressions.

I think all he meant was that the U.S. is a very powerful nation, the world's only hyperpower, and as such it can defy international law, which it has done in recent times, and yet not incur penalties which would be imposed on weaker nations such as economic, diplomatic or military sanctions.

the logic is amazing isnt it?
since america was one of many nations to make such sacrifices, we somehow have earned the right to torture. we have somehow gained the right to commit evil and simultainiously claim the moral high ground.

when i see fellow americans agree with torture, murder, and genocide and then have the balls to declare themselves patriots, it just sickens me to the pit of my stomach. they claim to stand by the flag when they may as well wipe their asses with it.

One should probably note that the U.S. did not exactly rush to the aid of it's allies purely out of altruism. It joined WWII after being attacked by the Empire of Japan if my memory serves me correctly. The war began more than 2 years prior.

I don't think that is necessarily true, although the fact is there is alot of negative stuff around, justified I believe, about the US conservatives and military, so it's natural people debate them, and I think it's good when you have such questionable things like this.

However, if you wished to balance it out you could start threads about the clearly good stuff the US is doing. I am sure it exists, it's just overshadowed by stuff like this that, as I have said before, is questionable to downright wrong.

But as I said, I don't think it's wrong to put of news about debatable issues going on, nor is it bad that they show a negative view of certain aspects, because to be honest in some ways it is justified. And as I said, you should make some threads about the good stuff then.

I completely agree with you and it is the type of arrogance that gives Americans a bad rep.

And the worst part was this:

Just remember some of your city's if not your entire country would not have existed without the help of other country's like France and the Netherlands. We were the first country to officialy recognzie the US as a country.

Stop saying history is all that important to you americans. The US did not really thank Russia for what they did either, so why should we thank you? Or is it because you are an American?

this forum is full of PC activists

in riots, police use force to disperce the crowd - whether it be riot sheild and truncheon or water cannon or this new beam thing.

all have risks, but all are desgined to be less than lethal - that doesn't mean that people havent been beaten to death or pummelled to death by the water cannon... and it won't mean that people won't get burned.
it's a riot, it's an active display of aggression against the authorities... you think if the rioters get hold of a policeman/soldier they won't beat them within and inch of their life?

the use of the word 'torture' in this thread is ridiculous... torture is active ly restraining and inflicting pain on a person... this is purposefully designed to give the victim time to move away from the beam, if it was a torture device it would be a different story - a taser could be construed as a torture device because it fires barbs into the victim which stop them getting away from the electric bolts

^this guy is right however, the only reason American won the civil war was because of the help from other European countries like France and the Netherlands..

and as for WW2, the 2 most decisive turning points in the war were the eastern front in winter headed by the russians and the British opening a southern front to the war around greece etc - America, although helpful, weren't the decisive impact on WW2

Of course they will, but here's the funny thing then. The police is meant to protect. Of course rioters have to be separated sometimes with extreme force. And yes people die from the other things. But why make a new weapon that is not any more effective and will hurt people faster and harder. And why isn't it going to be used in the US itself? I mean if it isn't lethal, then they should be able to use it right, but of course if it happens to US citizens people will complain.

show me a place in the US with a constant threat of violent rioting and i'll show you the police using more effective anti-riot technology.

90% of the reason for using this weapon is shock... if you run at a police line and suddenly you're in extreme pain, you'll think twice before doing it again... whereas if you run at a line and get hit by water or a truncheon, it's not really the same is it.

Fishy
The water can hurt like hell. And it might be that its shock but the people that will be hit, will be in extreme pain for a very long time. They will be burned badly. You've read the article seen what they made the testers do. Nobody that riots is going to do that, this weapon is just dangerous.

And who cares if it only happens once or a lot of times, this weapon if its okay to be used and more effective should be used everywhere even in the US.

yea, water can hurt like hell... but it's designed to knock you offer your feet primarily... it's not a very shocking weapon is it?
a beam of light, putting you in extreme pain for a brief period imo is alot more likely to cause me to run off then any amount of truncheons or water cannons.

it's an extreme weapon, no one is disputing that... 90% of riots in the US wouldn't end with the death of policemen at the hands of rioters if not controlled, i couldn't say the same if iraqi's got hold of policemen, could you?

No, but how does that make it better...

Look the weapon is supposed to make people scared right, its supposed to make people leave, its supposed to save lives and stop problems. Its not supposed to hurt people to badly.

Why is this weapon only used in Iraq? If it does all that it is supposed to do it should be used in the US as well and then it would probably be bought by any other country in the world and used there too. Of course that isn't going to happen so why would we think it isn't a dangerous weapon?

you're making assumptions.. where does it say it won't be used in the us?

yes the weapon is supposed to make people scared... how else do you propose to scare a rioting mob? put a sheet over your head and shout boo? - it is a weapon, it has to render a mob inable to fight and cause them to disperse, it's just unfeasable to expect a non-painful weapon to do that effectively...

you're living in a sunshine and fairydust world where there's a nonviolent solution to every problem the world throws up - a violent mob cannot be subdued without some force... it's a fact pretty much, that's why police have truncheons and riot sheilds, tear gas and water cannons... all cause pain in varying degrees, and all are effective to varying degrees

Fishy
Oh I know you have to use things like that, did I ever deny it. And it isn't going to be used in the US because the US will complain to much. If it is ever going to be used there I will take this all back, but it isn't going to be.

And those things that you have just mentioned are less effective in hurting people. And still succesful in keeping a mob away. So whats the problem really? Why develop a new weapon just to hurt people more then necessary?

why make m16's when the flintlock rifle still killed people?
it is more effective at dispersing crowds obviously... i've already said it's a shock weapon.. if you're hit by it you're going to think twice before putting yourself in the position to be hit by it again arent you?.. same can't be said about watercannon or the others

Fishy
A water cannon won't burn people either, a water cannon won't destroy peoples eyes either. A water cannon won't kill as much as this either. And a watter cannon is still effective.

Besides do you honestly think this will stop riots? If so you are leaving in a dream world.

didnt say stop, i said disperse... and shock the people involved.
a water cannon also uses up a resource that is less abundant than in the US, it also only takes a tablespoon of water in your lung for you to drown, and a small amount of water pressure in your ear to burst it... also a watercannon isn't all that effective.. you see videos of it being used and the people just get back up... it's pretty much a defensive barrier weapon, used to keep people at a distance while police lines position and brace themselves

in test runs precautions are always taken, they probably asked them to remove contacts for precautionary purposes only...

Fishy
I doubt it...

well that sure showed me stick out tongue

Fishy
Yeah it really did. stick out tongue but I seriously doubt it. They would not have done all that stuff without a good reason. Things will happen like that people will have metal burn into their skin, eyes will start poping when used. Glasses will break and all that crap. Real nice weapon that is. For a lot of people a bullet will be a better solution.

again you're assuming... do you know what temperature glass cracks at? you know what temperature plastic melts at?

alot higher than would be used on this weapon, because it says its a 'less than lethal' method... they woulda just taken precautions with the test subjects...

PVS
yes, if the government says its safe, it must be safe, right?

do me a favor and grab all the change out of your pockets, throw the coins in your microwave and press 'start'. see what happens, ok? and ever think that the reason why glasses were to be removed is because lenses intensify the beam? causing...oh i dont know...BLINDNESS?

Well, dont blame that on the ray gun

You indirectly call me a troll and yet post something intended to incense me. Pot, meet Kettle...eh, it'll be wasted on you.

This is old news, too. It was in Popular Science several months ago (along with a mounted machine gun that fired a million rounds a minute...).

you are being a serious wet diaper.
so i guess nobody is allowed to discuss it because you read about it before? (although the article is about scientists seing the potential for harm in this device, and not just a 'matter of fact' article about the invention)

although many people are obviously concerned (note post and hit count of this thread) i guess you have the right to spam this thread over and over and over with off topic wanna-be-mod posts?

if you dont like the topic then dont post here.
if you're just trying to start a flame war to get the thread closed, then that puts you at the maturity level of KMC's most idiotic trolls and mental midgets who shall remain nameless.

No, it would be the silly duffers using it that would have to realise the fact the situation could turn all the more ugly with it's application. The only thing I wonder is do they realise *how* bad it could get....

And I'm just thinking, what would happen if such a device were to fall into the hands of the rebels/terrorists or whatever in that nation... and I wonder even more if it had existed years ago would it have been the kind of thing Saddam would have happily used?

I've just been in a bad mood lately. Fine, everyone complain about torture and whatnot.

I'll say this: almost everything has the ability to be used as an implement of torture. People will protest non-lethal weaponry because of this...though they'd protest new lethal weaponry, too. Though the device is meant to be used as a tool in order to disperse rioters, it might very well be used as an implement of torture that causes no physical harm. However, I would hope that there WOULD be evidence of physical harm on anyone upon which the device was used as a tool of torture for the sake of proof.

P.S. No, I'm not trying to start a flame war.

PVS
it could also be used on peaceful protestors.
what coarse would history have taken if the military had such a device?
think back to the civil rights movement for example, and replace fire hoses with this......thing.

what 'bastards' are you referring to? it was tested, but never used in an actual riot.

I love this weapon. I can see it's potential uses right now. Toast the rioters, roast some marshmallows. I can find better uses for it than Iraq, though. Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington DC could use it much more effectively. And we wouldn't have to worry about leaving it on too long.

You'd be 10x the awesome if you were the gay roommate who drugged his straight roommate with chloroform and sodomized him until the straight roommate went to the doctor and the doctor said not to have anal sex and then the straight roommate freaked out and wrought horrible, painful vengeance on the gay roommate.
