Maximum Pain?

Maximum pain is aim of new US weapon

While I think the technology is cool as Sheisse, I'm a little uneasy about its uses. I don't like rioters or protesters any more than the next guy, but the potential for abuse (against Americans) is certainly undeniable. If the military was prohibited from using the equipment on domestic soil, I probably wouldn't have much problem with it.

Thoughts?

What about the Democratic National Convention as a test.

LOL Bwana !

I'm glad that the military is starting to look favorably at less than lethal weapons since it has the potential to reduce battlefield deaths on both sides remarkably . This has promise toward reaching a day when war might just actually become like the wargames , bloodless and decided by who takes the objective . Just think , some day the fate of nations could be settled by a civil , and officiated game of paintball ... LOL

I'm also concerned about civilian use , but is it really any more painful than getting shot with a Taser™ or beaten with a stick ? I'm not calling you paranoid Aught , but frankly if the goob ever wanted to subjugate us then LTL would be a very poor choice against the largest nation of heavily armed rednecks on Earth ...

Sounds like some sort of weapon that Tesla experimented with.
Neat stuff, but I hope its never used against our own people.

It is already illegal to use the military for domestic police situations. But they already broke that one at Waco. Posse Commitatus.
