If you want to disorient people with ear-splitting sound, just install a SoundBlaster Audigy on Windows 2000 to get that Squeal of Death effect, or turn on EAX with any other SoundBlaster card. biggrin.gif

Subsonic sound or something like that?<span id='postcolor'>

My physics prof talked about this gun when we did audio frequencies...the way it works is, it emits a frequency that matches the natural frequency of human entrails (everything has a natural frequency...once something's natural frequency is matched by sound it starts vibrating and can shatter...it's the same principle that could cause bridges to collapse if soldiers didn't break step while crossing them. When a sound wave is emmitted that matches the natural frequency of your entrails, they start vibrating, your bowels let go, and you feel the mother of all bellyaches as Wobble pointed out. What a better position to catch your enemy in eh? biggrin.gif

pain beams? goo? since when did soldiers turn into riot police?

what I am discussing is to be used in prisons.. as opposed to just smacking the hell out of someone with a stick..  (which is about the only other option)

I wish prisoners could be controlled with constructive criticsm and kind words.. but.. making them shit themslves has a much higher entertainment value biggrin.gif

Guard 1: prisoner 34456 quit throwing your food...

Guard 1:prisoner 34456 I said STOP IT..

Guard 1: ralph.. hand me the shit wand

..................

.............

..Guard 1: prisoner 34456 report to the showers, you were warned... next time listen.

Actually, the "shit wand" is also planned to be used against entrenched enemies in battle.....just immagine blasting a souped up version of that at an enemy bunker....then again I'm not sure that I'd like to be one of the guys going in to take prisioners biggrin.gif. Gives a new meaning to Bio-chemical warfare

would probably work better on the "rock throwers" than the ole rubber bullets and tear gas. after all the riot would break up when all the rioters went home to change their pants biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Im sure some idiot will cry out "its cruel and unusual!!, and wrong!!"

as opposed to... shooting them?, umm.. using clubs? rubber bullets?.. well?

or maby we shuld just have a chopper circle and tell them that they should feel better about themselves and to hug themselves.. and that they are just angry with their mothers... and to get their "shockra" aligned with some herbal tea.. lol

hahahahaha!!!

Cop1: did ya see the roit?

Cop2: yea, I was there.. it really went to shit.

Cop1: yea sounds like it was a real shit storm.

Cop2: yea, no shit.

cop1: I wonder if they cared about being arrested and having their reconrds go to shit.?

Cop2: they said they didnt give a shit.

Cop2:... but some of them gave 3..

Cop1: dude.. thats some sick shit.

I could go on..

It would probably be easy to device a protective method against the shit-wand. Like wrapping a wide belt around your torso tightly. That kind of squeezing should be enough to alter the resonance frequency of your bowels.

"The Brown Note"...that was funny. And yes, he probably is talking about exactly that.

Anyway, here's something from CNN today.

SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- Soldiers of the future may have some new weapons in their arsenals: slippery slime, pain beams, noise guns and stink bombs.

The Pentagon is developing non-lethal weapons for soldiers who increasingly find themselves in situations where the line between civilian and enemy isn't clear.

Most of the projects are variations on conventional weapons, such as wax bullets that cause stinging pain when they explode on impact. But the military also is exploring technologies that resemble science fiction:

A San Diego company is developing a portable, battery-powered sonic rifle that fires "bullets" of earsplitting noise. The company, American Technology Corp., says the weapon could be used to foil skyjackers without puncturing a plane's fuselage.

In San Antonio, the Marines have contracted scientists to develop a sprayable slime that makes stairs and sidewalks as slippery as ice.

And Pentagon officials asked researchers in Philadelphia who study taste and smell to come up with the world's foulest odor.

The push to develop such weapons began in the aftermath of the U.S. involvement in Somalia in 1992-93 that put soldiers in the line of fire in urban areas where civilians were present -- and in which 18 American soldiers and hundreds of Somalis died in one hellish clash.

These unorthodox weapons of the future go far beyond rubber bullets and tear gas. They exploit the body's sensory reflexes, such as the urge to recoil when confronted by an unpleasant or painful sensation.

Concentrating on senses

"The idea ... is to concentrate on all five senses as well as our ability to walk," said Capt. Shawn Turner, a spokesman for the Pentagon's Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, a program run by the Marines with an annual budget of $25 million.

Armed with a portion of that money, researchers at Philadelphia's Monell Chemical Senses Center tried to find out what smell most repels people.

Two years of testing on people from all over the world, yielded a "souped up version of human waste," said Pamela Dalton, who led the study.

"It's pretty awful," Dalton said. "We found few that were able to smell that and not have an immediate reaction."

All it takes, she said, is a few molecules -- not nearly enough to be toxic.

"You're really dealing with a psychological perception," Dalton said.

Monell has presented its findings to Pentagon officials, who are deciding what to do with them.

These projects represent only a portion of the Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate's work, most of which is classified, Turner said.

While many projects won't be funded beyond the proposal stage, others are being readied for use by U.S. troops.

The Marines, who are charged with guarding U.S. embassies overseas, are planning to use a slippery slime to deal with hostile crowds.

'Freak people out'

The Corps hired scientists at San Antonio's Southwest Research Institute to develop a spray that makes asphalt, concrete, grass and wood as slippery as ice. The Marines expect to have the product ready for use in 2003.

The Pentagon spent $40 million over 10 years to develop a long-range weapon that inflicts pain without causing lasting harm. The weapon, which could be fielded by 2009, fires a beam of electromagnetic waves that reaches pain receptors a fraction of an inch under the skin.

"It kind of feels like putting your hand on a light bulb," said Turner, who has tried it out.

In San Diego, American Technology is developing a portable 3-foot-long tube capable of firing a burst of noise as high as 140 decibels. Sound becomes painful above 120 decibels -- the noise of a jet at takeoff. At such levels, sound can be felt as well as heard.

"It gives you the equivalent of an instant migraine headache," said Elwood Norris, the company's chief executive. "It's just totally disabling."

The Defense Department contacted American Technology about the device after the September 11 attacks, Norris said. The company is now working with Bath Iron Works, a division of General Dynamics, to develop a working model for the Pentagon.

The company's new, thin spin-speaker technology, called hypersonic sound, has also drawn attention from the Army for possible use in psychological warfare. The speakers can project sound like a ventriloquist throwing his voice.

"You can, with a little practice, freak people out pretty well," said Terry Conrad, president of American Technology.

All these weapons are really fancy, but all of them can be protected against quite easily, if you know what to expect.

EM pain beams: Wear a mesh of wire weaved into your clothes with a low level current going through it. This is a Faraday's cage and it block EM waves. You could turn it on when you see somebody pulling out a pain beam cannon.

Noise guns: Good ear muffs (these can block a field artillery piece going off!wink.gif and self discipline should be enough to block this.

Stink bombs: Use gas masks.

Slippery slime: Find out what it is and develop a counter agent OR throw some sand on the stairs. Both work.

Common to all these counter maneuvres is that you can activate or put them on only after you perceive the threat. So you don't have to impair your hearing for example before somebody is actually firing a sonic cannon.

how effective is a soldier if he has to walk around wearing a wire meshed vest with power source, ear muffs, a gas mask, and a bag of some agent to "de slime" something? plus all their usual stuff.. hehe, good targets.

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.
