I gotta get one of these...the Taser Claymore.

[Uncle Cracker]

I don't like it. A Claymore is not a defensive weapon. It's an offensive one, so it should be 100% lethal. For this type of ordinance, you don't want the enemy to get up, shake off the woolly-boogers, and then come back to kill you tomorrow. You want 'em dead.

[Stytooner]

Depends on how it's used. Claymore was designed as a defensive weapon. It was intended to defend your perimeter. To be set off either by trip wire or intentional detonation in case you are being over run. That's why it says on front, "This side toward the enemy".

I'll take 6, one for each corner of the house, one by the garage door and one by the front door. That oughta do it.

Good for nonlethal conflagrations such as shareholder meetings and White House press briefings.

Care to repeat that question, Helen Thomas? I thought not!

I wonder if the new ones have a message in spanish too???

Point taken. But mine was that it ain't meant to leave anybody functional.

No, but it was getting to the point where it was written in Vietnamese too.

Don't ask me how I know that, I have no recollection.

I would prefer to go to the L-RAD system. Very effective for distance and breadth of field. I would post a demo, but you'd get blown off your chairs.

While the claymore-like taser array seems kinda neat - it just seems to me that if you think that you may have a problem that requires that thing (being overrun by an angry mob, etc.), you'd probably be better served by other weapons. A bunch of real claymores and belt-fed machine guns come to mind, but C-man's L-RAD seems like a good non-lethal alternative.

Cab's always coming up with something cool. But not to minimize his find, during the Vietnam protest era, DOD experimented with a sound generator of a slightly different type.

They were playing around with using an extremely low (50-150 Hz) frequency sound combined with extremely high decibel levels. What they thought was this combination would supposedly make the (un-washed rabble) on the other side lose complete control of their sphincter muscle and poop in their pants. The theory was that how can a group of demonstrators be effective when their pants were filled with $hit.

Guess it didn't work

I still think Claymores are the way to go.

IIRC, DOD also did testing on non lethal weaponry using sound waves on the high end of the spectrum, like a dog whistle. The results were somewhat effective. It had to be remotely activated and caused the subjects' ears to perk, and they went into a down/stay while wimpering. Prisoners were taken by leash. Instead of C-rations, were fed Ken-L-Rations.

As opposed to the politicians??

Hey Cab, at least they sort of humane, they could have fed them MRE's.

Now that's cruel and inhuman.
