#1 If that's it in the picture, it's going to be one helluva RPG magnet.

#4 SInce it is a skin effect, only to a depth of 1/64th of an inch, I wonder if it can be countermeasured easily by applying some lotion, and of course shielding your eyes.

It brings up lots of technical questions. I would guess that what they really want is everyone to run away as soon as it pulls up.

Tell the jihadis the most effective coutermeasure is rubbing lard all over yourself.

#6 No. The lotion layer is too thin. Hosing down your clothes and wrapping a towel around your head (shade of Total Recall) should work. For optimal penetration, use 7.62mm.

#7 From the comments at the link:

Does anyone else think sitting in a vehicle with an eight-foot across pain-ray dish on top in Iraq is not an occupation conducive to a long retirement?

LOL.

#10 Yesterday, there was a report about Syria working with Iran. Today, the fabulous "microwave-a-mullah" weapon gets deployed. Maybe Baby-I-Doc should reconsider his choices?

#13 Turn that sombitch up and just fry the fuckers. 1/64th my ass I want to see some crispy critters, go a full inch and watch the rats run about aflame.

Helicopters mounted with this hard core shit would bring a biblical flying scorpion reality to bear on our bestest of friends in Iraq and Afghanistan, and then their friendly Iranian neighbors too.

Talk about Helicopters of the apocalypse! Mmmm fried rats!

#14 YS,

It's like you were reading my thoughts, which serves me right for not wearing my Anti-Zionist Minding Reading Ray Aluminum Coated Beret (now lined with Chomskium, the densest material known to man).

#18 I've been exposed to the little test version of this thing and it really works. Clothes or wet towels will not defeat it. The current version is big, but future ones will be quite a bit smaller. This is amazing technology.
