QUOTE(Eikon @ Dec 4 2005, 12:19 PM) Wow. Something like this could really come in handy when trying to take out an anti-vehicle type weapon. I wonder how fast a weapon like that would over heat and how long it ould take to cool down and what the rate f fire would be.  Oh, i'd give it 10secs  and to cool down i'll give it 10months!! None of this is going to help anyone in anyway, its just another, i wanna look good 'big boy' toy for the US, to sell to other countries. Then try and take it back for no good reason, they have there and my troops over there for nothing worth 10 cents. |

Like many others I have saw this prototype (when I saw the show on Discovery Channel is was only an ideea, not the real thing). And No it is defently NOT a good thing, because as a new weapon they need someone or somewhere to test it. War in Iraq anyone? (of course in Iraq there was also oil).
I'm sorry I have missed that documentary on Discovery Channel about the way Star Wars has influenced our lives... |

That'd be pretty cool actually.
But, I do think that all of this military news is actually much more advanced that the people let on. I mean, one would assume that have a lock on a person brain where many frequencies and also heat is present would be very simple considering that planes can lock onto each other from 100s of meters away... So, I think that locking onto a person brain and then shooting them with a sniper or such would be easy...But we haven't heard of anyone doing anything like that, or trying-- Bit off topic now that I look at it, sry

The problem, Sirius, is that it's much more efficient to train someone to use a sniper rifle than to spend the time/money that it would take to create a device that would lock on, even if it guaranteed a perfect headshot.
And, as far as I know, brian waves don't come out of your head like radio waves come out of an antenna; they're simply the frequency at which the electricity within one's brain is operating at, and as such, they aren't detectable over a long distance (unless there would be some way to detect electrical fields, in which case anything that was alive or consumed power would give a signature, causing the readings to be blinded, like looking into normal light wearing night vision goggles, and the case would be the same for heat vision, since anything at all that gave off heat would show up as well). |

I don't see how the end would be NEARER due to us having an efficient defence against missile strikes.
