"...a blast from a very hot oven."
It's a Humvee with a dish attached to it and it shoots heat rays. It can also fuse contact lenses with your eyes. Anyway, for anyone who played Command and Conquer this should be especially interesting.

I want one.
Also, tin foiled covered protestors anyone? It'll either work as protection, or poach them.

Aluminum foil doesnt work, least, if there is any gap in the foil it will be ineffective. So unless you plan on not moving and making sure to be 100% covered your screwed.Originally Posted by BDC
Also the fusion of the contacts to your eye's happens after quite a bit of exposure. Just to test that they required to sedate the monkies and tape their eye's open. Knee jerk reaction to close your eyes.

This is the microwave projector thingy they've been talking about for a while isn't it ? So that's what the end product looks like.

Damn, down to the big mirror idea then.Aluminum foil doesnt work, least, if there is any gap in the foil it will be ineffective. So unless you plan on not moving and making sure to be 100% covered your screwed.
Re: "...a blast from a very hot oven."
Looks like a neat weapon.....until the jib-jabs hit it with an RPG. Maybe it would be on a plane or a really fast motorcycle or something. recent events tell me that humveees arent that safe.

There is a small problem with heating someone up to 50°C since this can/will render men unable to reproduce for several months(six they said in the last documentary) I heard.
Well, one could argue that it freezes human ressources of the opponent.

That depends upon the grounds you're standing on.

Isn't the hee-uge dish a bit vulnerable to damage? How much punishment can the weapon take while still remaing functional, I wonder?

Re: "...a blast from a very hot oven."
Well, the linked article said the disk is bulletproof - although IIRc failed to specify to what degree. In any case you'd imagine that one had to be shot pretty full of holes before it started seriously interfering with the beam.
Rockets and grenades and such are presumably a whole another thing, but then again this is chiefly a nonlethal crowd-control weapon isn't it ?

Re: "...a blast from a very hot oven."
Precisely watchmen it's a nonlethal crowd-control weapon. It's not going to be in a place were it's going to be facing a RPG. It's more likely to face stones and pistol bullets. Though I highly doubt you would have the chance to shoot at it with an RPG. As soon as this ray hits you, you're gone whether you want to or not.

Re: "...a blast from a very hot oven."
If you're going to take a shot at a military vehicle with an RPG, I would imagine you'd approach the matter by being somewhere else than where its main weapon unit points. One can only assume you'll otherwise find out why AT teams have such low life expectancies...

It kinda reminds me of a giant George Foreman Grill. Would you like onions & green peppers on that?

Re: "...a blast from a very hot oven."
I just stumbled upon some Italian documentary on YouTube concerning special weapons and it also talks about this heat weapon we have here, especially in parts three and four.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
While it may be a bit biased and sensational, it does raise some interesting points, oh and they use Black Hawk Down music.
