- 3leggedHorse, on 05/11/2008, -2/+12 Gay bomb LMFAO.
- shig, on 05/11/2008, -1/+9The "Active Denial System" and the entire class of directed energy weapons are the most frightening. Imagine a robot capable of giving every mammal within a half-mile radius of it a seizure. The future is a very grim place and nukes are too old school and unreliable to be a legitimate threat. Commanders want 100% effectiveness and a clean battlespace.
By the way, the ADS and other DEW components will not make it to a military conflict without being tested on civilians domestically. At least that is what the commander of the the project says when he lobbies the government to use it at protests and rallies to avoid International law inside a combat zone. It can't be cruel and inhumane if we use it on ourselves, right? - karapuz, on 05/11/2008, -2/+13CBU 97 should be on that list.
I was seriously scared when I've seen this one. One conventional bomb capable of destroing an entire armored column.

- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3Why can't I quit you....I mean.....
- garfnodie, on 05/11/2008, -2/+5I think I'll make my own robotic Frisbee of death and go play with the neighbors dog. Maybe he'll shut up then.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3Wha's unbelievable about incendiary bomb carrying bats?
- init100, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3"Depleted Uranium is one of the spookiest weapons too!
Keeps killing for billions of years"
I assume that you are referring to the very long half-life of U-238. In fact, this extremely long half-life means that U-238 emits radiation of a very low intensity, one that is almost completely harmless. Remember that we are exposed to background radiation every day, from e.g. cosmic rays and radioactive compounds in the ground. DU is hardly more dangerous than these, from a radiation standpoint.
On the other hand, DU is chemically toxic. The toxicity is a much more serious threat than its pretty light radiation, although it isn't as toxic as e.g. arsenic or mercury. - venuspcs, on 05/11/2008, -2/+6I had a woman tell me I had a "rod from god", then I woke up to find the dog licking my.............never mind.

- Cryptopsy, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Get over it.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3the corner shot rifle is predated, during WWII hitler had a bent barrel rifle made which could fire around corners. I lacked the lcd, camera and ability to shoot straight or around a corner, but it was the first known "corner shot" rifle.
So far all of these weapons were featured on a national geographic program (at least here in NL), which makes me think someone saw that show and decided to write an article about it rather than writing on something new. - alphaeno, on 05/11/2008, -1/+3What about the Jerico?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaM-eeDDVRs - danwallace, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Finish the ***** story man! What happened? What about the glands?
- cgrado, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Those Rods from God look ***** amazing. Imagine if we actually used those. The power behind them appears to be IMMENSE.
- dsmx, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Still doesn't change the fundamental design flaw in metal storm in that reloads are achieved by taking out the barrel and fitting a new one.
- Ganja420, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2The fentinal bombs would be great for a party. Nothing goes better with friends than some good elephant tranqulizers
- YoThisBAlec, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2"The Israeli Army has developed a device they're calling "The Scream," which issues short bursts of highly tuned sound designed to get in someone's head and stay there most uncomfortably until they leave the device's range."
Or just turn on the radio today, same effect. - ByteGuerilla, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I love the way the little bombs that come off are called Skeets.
- danwallace, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2That woman speaks gibberish.
- edd17, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Hooray, cluster bombs! I hear kids love those things.

- 2Bnor2B, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1The description of "Puke Flashlight" reminded me a lot of the gun used in the 1981 movie "Looker"
- cydlys, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1I'll make sure to stock up on Moth Balls if WWIII ever comes.
- baqpad, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1About that airborne laser...sure, it may shoot down missiles, but what's going to stop the laser from continuing down to the surface and hitting stuff down here?
- brettruffenach, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1METAL GEAR?!
- mcottier, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Did we just crash the Popular Science servers? Wow, that's pretty good.

- antonio97b, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Lol. Number 6 reminds me of Red Alert 2.
Fricken lazer beams attached to their heads! - WaveyRavey, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1"I lacked the lcd, camera and ability to shoot straight or around a corner"
It lacked the ability to shoot around a corner? Then surely it is not a "corner shot rifle". In fact If it couldnt even shoot straight, then i also doubt that it could be classed as a gun. - bigal90, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1great article some very interesting devices
- danwallace, on 05/12/2008, -0/+15:10 - "In 1957 I was born into a multi-generational incest-based family. (uncomfortable cough)"
For some reason I laughed my ass off at the uncomfortable cough that comes from the audience right after that line.
Also, she says "mind control" twelve times in the first five minutes of that video. - rdebath, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1The idea has been on the table since before the 80's it's even in a 1985 Niven&Pournelle book, Footfall.
