US army gets raygun for Iraq

US troops in Iraq are set to use a non-lethal energy beam weapon mounted on a Humvee.

The ray uses a beam which heats up the skin to a depth of 1/64 of an inch. This burning sensation is very painful but won't cause actual damage unless the subject stays in the beam for as long as 250 seconds. It is hoped it will provide a less lethal way of clearing the streets of (live) Iraqi civilians.

Or that's the theory. Testing has been carried out by the US Airforce Lab, which also develops the weapon, which is a "clear conflict", according to Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News. There is concern that the beam could damage eyesight - although probably not as much as an M-16 rifle can.

The barrier to using such technology on a vehicle has been a strong enough power source. Researchers claim to have solved this problem, and 15 vehicles have been ordered under Project Sheriff.

The "Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System", or V-MADS, looks like an ordinary Humvee but with an enormous, square satellite dish on its roof. Only this time it's not Sky One that'll be frying your brain. Background and pictures here.®

Good one!
fry the fucking bastards!

k... but I want the breast after the meat is done

and WELL-DONE you muthafuckers!! Or else I'm sending it back :thumbsup

sounds like torture. i think we should jsut go back to shooting people that don't comply with what the soldiers on the ground say.

wait hold still for 250 seconds so i can zap you with my ray gun

how much does the shit costs? 50 million?

a couple of ak74 shots or 1 grenade makes the vehicle useless tin can until the plate is replaced.

The device is the most useless stuff to clean streets imho

not the best idea in the world

Adolf fan, eh? :1orglaugh

Agree. The "beam" will just cause a bunch of "oops, sorry" statements as it is misused. I'd rather they take the UK attitude. Kill them quickly, find out who they are later. :Oh crap

its huge, and has a giant bullseye on it. Looks like it could get blown up long before it even gets to where evere it was supposed to zap people.
