Kinder to shoot a man.

With lethal force, people who use it are less likely to be trigger happy than with this or a stun gun or tasier.

When presented with taking life in preservation of one’s own, as with firearms, most sane people will only make the final call when there is no other option.

Kinder to shoot a man.

It’s probably too late to inform any of the above lunatics about their false claims to this device.  A more balanced approach with info about testing can be found here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System

The lie in the store is the phrase “similar to” microwave energy. It IS microwave energy.  They just don’t want to use that label because it conjures up images everyone can relate to of food being cooked.

It’s a short jump from there to imagine people being “cooked”, by this weapone, which is exactly what is being done.  It’s happening from the inside out, just like with your home microwave, and that’s why there are no obvious markings externally.  Internally, they are literally boiling your blood!

And, yes, just like your home microwaves, metals such as wrings, watches, eyeglasses, bracelets, etc.
cause an arcing/buring effect.

There are lots of stories on this and they’re not new.  Just search “Microwave weapon”.

How many millions have been spent on this steaming pile? Anyone with a parabolic mirror could return the power back to it’s source and burn out the stupid thing. Or wrap yourself in reflective material and feel nothing.

Don’t toss those tinfoil hats just yet, they might come in handy.

Raytheon isn’t too BRIGHT huh?

Outraged,

I would not go so far as to say “non-lethal force” technology should be outlawed. 

I ask, “where did they test it?”, “on who?”, “when?”

How do they KNOW that prolonged exposure has no long-term, negative, effects?

Many, like myself, were told by the Golden company that their portable x-ray unit had no “lasting” effects, only to find later that maybe, it did.

Let’s see… a beam that hurts but doesn’t kill (supposedly… can we guess what prolonged exposure would do?).

And they had to test just that… yes?  On WHO did they test it and where?

hey news fans-
