[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Minus the ??!! <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8275">US military sets laser PHASRs to stun</a> [QUOTE]The Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response (PHASR) rifle was developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico, US, and two prototypes have been delivered to military bases in Texas and Virginia for further testing. The US Department of Defense (DoD) believes the weapon could be used, for example, to temporarily blind suspects who drive through a roadblock. However, the DoD has yet to reveal details of how the laser works and has yet to respond to New Scientist�s requests for further information. Laser weapons capable of blinding enemies have been developed in the past but were banned under a 1995 UN convention called the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons. The wording of this protocol, however, does not prohibit lasers that temporarily dazzle a foe.[/QUOTE](I guess if this trends towards the ethical implications we can wander over to the Flameboard, if we feel we need to.) ((I probably wouldn't have mentioned this if it was just the name, but check out that photo.)) [/QB][/QUOTE]
