Pentagon Forced To Ship Ray Gun to Iraq

Boy, if I had a ray gun, nobody could force me to do anything.

Humor aside, it's an interesting read. I've questioned the non-lethality claims from the outset. And you can bet such technology will be withheld from the Constitutional militia.

I didn't have time to track down a photo of the beast. I'm wondering how big the dish is, and how hard it would be to hit at 500 meters...

You can see a photograph of the beastie and get a little more detail at the following address: http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002035.html

The dish is HUGE (think eight feet ish), and if there are any RPG's in the area, I can't really see that dish lasting too long - we'll see.

Best quote from the story was this little gem

"ADS is carried on a hummer or Stryker, along with a machine-gun and other non-lethal weapons."

REALLY?? Where can I get one of those non lethal machine guns? You know for the kids for Christmas? COOL!
