Subject: THE BEGININGS OF DISRUPTORS? Now this!
--------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: Alan Todd <Todd_Alan@cat.com> <snip> I know when I was at SHAPE on the Russian liason team they were working on sonic bullets. Not actually at Shape btw, that would be very bad! Probably somewhere in Siberia...Anyway these were like little packets of sonic energy that were propelled toward the target. The Russians now have a man portable device that can propel a 10-Hertz (Hz) sonic packet the size of a cricket ball (or baseball for you lot who aren't in the commonwealth/empire!) hundreds of yards. So when fired at humans, the energy can be selected to result in either nonlethal or lethal damage. Their Spetsnaz experimental teams were also using an ulton gun, that emitted mollecular disruption waves at a target. I saw a picture of a guy with one, but I don't know how successful these have become... Cheers, Alan --------- End forwarded message ----------
