Next Generation Stun Guns?

RoyalCheese writes "Well, I've just been reading an interesting little article on New Scientist's website about new crowd control weapons that electrocute/stun the targets. Seems we will soon be at risk of being stunned by ionised air generated by laptop sized lasers..." Reader Spetiam adds "News.com.au reports on a new weapon that will be able to zap you from afar, wires not included: 'We will be able to fire a stream of electricity like water out of a hose at one or many targets in a single sweep,' XADS [Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems] president Peter Bitar is quoted as saying." So, this company has a free-hosting website and and a free-email address for their "president", and the photo looks like cardboard tubes wrapped with green camouflage tape. Hmmmm.

    You are so correct - excellent karma to barely positive in one day. Do not gain the attention of the children with unlimited mod points. It was like someone just went into my account and started modding everything as flamebait/troll/offtopic - shit that was obviously none of these.

    Beware the WRATH of the MEGAmod - assholes. I have to post this logged in because my IP is blocked. I'm a fucking subscriber to boot.

    I will now say good bye to the rest of my karma. Fuck em, it's only /. Fuckers will never get another dime from me.
