Better to just shoot them with real bullets :D


I suppose, but that is a strictly lethal option.


Not necissarily, you could just shoot them in the balls. 8O 8O 8O


Not if you are an Officer, you shoot to kill.


I was a Corporal. I shot to piss off!! !!


I was told that Asperger's couldn't join the armed services, that it was a disqualification.


Aspergers wasn't accepted in th U.S. untill 1996, I entered in 1993.


Are you still in the military? When did you leave and why?


No I left in 1997 because my 4 years was up and I hated the unit I was in. (1st Surveillance, Reconniassance, and Intelligence Group in 29 Palms)


What do you do nowadays?


R&D work in the racing industry. I help design and develop the parts on race cars you see on TV on Sunday.

An ADS sounds like more of a riot-control weapon (although I heard their use in the later Left Behind books), and seems like a less-lethal weapon (all supposed non-lethal weapons can be used lethally). Humane? Well, as long as the worst it can do under standard operating conditions is cause blisters, and it is only used as crowd control, in conjunction with water cannons and such. Personally, the Brown note would be a more effective weapon in crowd control, but there is yet to be a proven frequency AFAIK.


Brown note? I think any short wavelength high amplitude note would be effective at motivating people to hold their ears. Have you ever heard a male cockatiel court his mate? Ouch!

What were they used for in the Left Behind books? Tim LaHaye isn't exactly an electronics engineer, so I don't expect him to know the difference between microwaves and millimeter waves and their effects. Causing skin temperatures to elevate compared to internal cooking, there the difference being.


A brown note is a frequency that makes you crap your pants, iamnotaparakeet. And Tim LaHaye used a hand-held DEW that is pretty much the ADS in a nutshell in Desecration, The Remnant, Armageddon and Glorious Appearing.
