- Paul - Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/10646540 The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal weapon designed to disperse violent crowds and repel enemies. It uses a focused invisible beam that causes an "intolerable heating sensation", but only penetrates the skin to the equivalent of three sheets of paper. The discomfort causes whoever it's pointed at to immediately start moving away. They often scream but the US military says the chance of injury from the system is 0.1%. They often scream Really how surprising. I assume factor 200 sun cream is being issued to Uk troops prior to the inevitable 'friendly fire' incidents.

homarus Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 More importantly who are they going to fire it at? Most of the allied injuries are coming from roadside bombs, not direct conflict! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've nearly answered that yourself. Due to rules of engagement you can't just shoot and kill your enemy. Even if you know who they are. It was exactly the same in Ireland. But you certainly can piss the buggers off! I've heard some ace stories about non lethal weaponry being used in Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
