A few different links via Wired Magazine on what our military has in store for those that don't comply. Crowd control is even listed in the articles as a main reason for the weapon. I wonder what kind of crowds it will be applied to in the future?



Marines Want Pain Ray, ASAP
The Pentagon says its millimeter-wave pain ray won't be ready until 2010, despite years and years of tests. Marines in Iraq can't wait that long. They want the weapon -- which uses invisible waves to heat up the top layer of the skin and cause a whole lot of hurt -- ASAP, according to InsideDefense.

1. *War Fighters*
Repeated several times. This is not just for US troops, in the traditional meaning.

2. It's going to be used against anti-war protesters,
anti-globalization protesters, and anyone else the government doesn't like. Water cannons are so 50 years ago. x(

3. The difference between shooting and shouting?
OMG...they are kidding right?

And now, we have a new 'weapon' to inflict pain and just in general piss them off more?

What a bunch of retards that run this shit....and then all the 'neat and fun' acronyms.....ACD or whatever...call it what it is. A flesh burner...and who is going to keep them calibrated to 'only' go 1/64th of an inch into the skin....

never mind, I don't want the answsers to any of this.

6. It looks vulnerable to attack
That big reflector is like a target.

And I could see a whole lot of effort to try and destroy one of those things in a neighborhood.
