If a tyranny begins to use this technology against the people, I will steal it and use it against the tyrants.

tinybear · May 29, 2005, 01:45 pm

Wow! That's a cool weapon. When will it appear in the K-Mart stores?

ericsp23 · May 29, 2005, 02:02 pm

Sounds like a suicide bomber's dream come true.
I don't know if it would be very practical as a military weapon though. It sounds like you would kill as many of your friends as you do your foes.

tinybear · May 29, 2005, 02:04 pm

Terrorists don't really care who they kill. What thety're after is the impact of the killings. Yeah, come to think of it, you're right. I bet the terrorists would be first in line to order that weapon. Scary thought, ain't it?

eggosphere · May 31, 2005, 11:43 pm

Im gunna mount one to my backpack. Incase of terroist threat ( ie, any one with a beard looking shifty ) ill just tuck like a turtle and hit full auto. BLAU! 360 degrees of instant death!

How can you control which direction the projectiles travel? It seems like it would be useful if you could direct it and not just have a 360 degree spray.

I think the way they are going to be using it is mounting it on a vehicle and spraying it from there. This way they only hit people outside the vehicle... (terrorists)...and keep the troops inside the vehicle from harm.

I don't like the idea... seems way too robotic

moustache · Jun 3, 2005, 01:11 am

yea im not sure if I like it or not... I guess I would need to see it in action first. Im not sure how safe this thing really is. But if it is safe, and it gets the job done...then im all for it.

abub · Jun 3, 2005, 01:17 am

I'm not.... I don't like thinking of what future warfare will be like, and this definitely gets me thinking.

moustache · Jun 3, 2005, 01:31 am

So if better ways of taking down terrorists are formed (potentially this 360 gun), then we should not use them?

abub · Jun 3, 2005, 01:33 am

To be honest, I don't even know. Thinking about future weapons really upsets me.

abub · Jun 3, 2005, 01:34 am

Even the shit we have now is incredible... we could destroy the entire planet if we wanted to.

Emma · Jun 3, 2005, 03:54 am

Admittedly this is a stupid question, because I don't understand alot of the technical description...but wouldn't a 360-degree spray hit the shooter as well?

Or is this remote controlled in some way...

moustache · Jun 3, 2005, 06:48 pm

I really have no idea...What I asked was IF the gun proves effective, then why shouldnt we use it against terrorists?
