Â hehe, good targets.<span id='postcolor'> Eh, Wobble, soldiers already walk around with a combat webbing containing (among other things) ear muffs and a gas mask. Also, if you're wearing PAGST armor, adding a thin wire mesh to that doesn't add any significant weight. The power source can be a small one, enough just to give power long enough so you can shoot the doofus using the pain ray. To de slime something, pick up sand and throw. Oh yeah, also, poor soldiers who have to lug around these miracles of new weaponry. The way I see it, they weight way more than the countermeasures to them.<span id='postcolor'> heh heh heh.....then the pain ray soldier just needs to pick up his M16 and blast the enemy with soooo much defenseive mechanisms!!!

Oligo 1 Posted March 26, 2002 Ralph, when you're referring to 'so much defensive mechanism' I'm assuming you are referring to ear muffs, gas mask (these are tucked in the assault vest) and PAGST armor. If you look at the pictures of U.S. troopers in the news (russians carry much less BTW), almost everybody is wearing PAGST armor (=composite helmet and a kevlar frag vest) and a tactical vest (which definitely has in it ear muffs and a gas mask). They're also carrying loads of other stuff. I don't know what you think, but I have personally carried all this stuff around in the army and it didn't limit my movement all that much. So I can't really see the pain ray being used in combat engagements against equipped foes. Maybe the cops can zap some criminals with it. Whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted March 26, 2002 heh heh heh...i know i know... but the article states that these days, distinction between soldier and civilian is disappearing....i.e. it's hard to distinguish if someone is a combatant or not by looking at what they are wearing...in other words, if someone sees some ppl wearing all those gears, then you know it's most likely not a civilian. but if some enemy is going to blend in, he/she needs to tone down his/her gear, which could mean one of those weapons could be effective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oligo 1 Posted March 26, 2002 I think all these things are going to go the way of the hollow point bullets: For use only against the nations own citizens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
