Acoustic Bazooka ![]() Currently, the US military employs the use of one body armour class.
That being said, with Class IV flak jackets being deployed more widely then Barretts, the US military has yet to lay its sneaky little hands on energy weapons. The American Technology Corporation, as it turned out, has supposedly set its eyes in the development of a full-blown Acoustic Bazooka, an incapacitating shoulder mount that would blast hell in frequencies that mess with the human nervous system. Apparently, the intended effects of the weapon are so unbelievably potent, that people would vomit and soil themselves within a matter of 10-12 seconds. Further exposure to the ray could potentially culminate in permanent ear damage. Seriously, this gun is supposedly capable of fully weaponized ear implosions. I was joking with a friend earlier today about the viability of sonic-based weapons. And while the notion of using sound as an offensive proves to be relatively attractive, American Technology Corporation and other defence firms make no palpable claim that the Acoustic Bazooka or any other sonic-based weapon won’t affect the users themselves. He laughed. But regardless, I’m excited and I know you are too. So where’s my Acoustic Bazooka? If this weapon truly works, it would redefine the usage of body armour. Kevlar certainly isn’t going to cut it. I want an Acoustic Bazooka, maybe even two or three. Oh dammit…an article was released by Military Medicine, it discusses, among other things, the potential fate of the Acoustic Bazooka. According to these guys, the Acoustic Bazooka, the weapon supposedly capable of bringing enemies to their knees with the ingenious use of sound waves – doesn’t really work. While the gun can be used to annoy the hell out of enemies with mind infuriating headaches and psychological panic, it was designed “beneath pain thresholds,” and for the US military, that sucks. So no more Acoustic Bazooka. In the meanwhile, I’m holding out for a phaser. 2008-04-09 04:28:42 GMT
