Set Your Phaser on STUN

                                     The Future is Now

A laser technology being developed by Air Force Research Laboratory employees at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. will be the first man-portable, non-lethal deterrent weapon intended for protecting troops and controlling hostile crowds.

The weapon, developed by the laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, employs a two-wavelength laser system and is the first of its kind as a hand-held, single-operator system for troop and perimeter defense. The laser light used in the weapon temporarily impairs aggressors by illuminating or "dazzling" individuals, removing their ability to see the laser source.

The first two prototypes of the Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response, or PHaSR, were built at Kirtland last month and delivered to the laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate at Brooks City Base, Texas, and the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate at Quantico, Va. for testing.

        It'll be the size of a gunsight on any weapon in 3 years.

A laser technology being developed by Air Force Research Laboratory employees at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. will be the first man-portable, non-lethal deterrent weapon intended for protecting troops and controlling hostile crowds.

The weapon, developed by the laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, employs a two-wavelength laser system and is the first of its kind as a hand-held, single-operator system for troop and perimeter defense. The laser light used in the weapon temporarily impairs aggressors by illuminating or "dazzling" individuals, removing their ability to see the laser source.

The first two prototypes of the Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response, or PHaSR, were built at Kirtland last month and delivered to the laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate at Brooks City Base, Texas, and the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate at Quantico, Va. for testing.

"The future is here with PHaSR," said program manager Capt. Thomas Wegner. Wegner is also the ScorpWorks flight commander within the Laser Division of the directorate. ScorpWorks is a unit of military scientists and engineers that develops laser system prototypes for AFRL, from beginning concept to product field testing.

The National Institute of Justice recently awarded ScorpWorks $250,000 to make an advanced prototype that will add an eye-safe laser range finder into PHaSR. Systems such as PHaSR have historically been too powerful at close ranges and ineffective but eye-safe at long ranges. The next prototype is planned to include the addition of the eye-safe range finder and is planned for completion in March 2006.

Fuck that...I wanna see these guys develop energy weapons that BLOW SHIT UP! Then watch the Muslims RUN:

"It's all the fault of the JOOOOOOS' ray gun that our d**ks are so small!"

Set your phasers to phase out?

How original, Mack............. hahahaha...... Render an army of insurgents helpless and depressed by zapping their peckers into vaginas. OH TOO FUNNY.

So much for those virgins, boys........

snark snark snark...... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT dickless.

FOX NEWS FLASH: Gen. Petraus declared 153 insurgents were turned into women in a raid last night. Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion had a great deal of trouble with the wailing and crying and had to send choppers back to base for Kleenex.

FOX NEWS ALERT:

Mohammed Mohammed Ali Mohammed was found with eleven of his closest fellow insurgents in the desert outside of Tikrit today. They were difficult to identify as they had blown themselves up in a Brotherhood For Virgins suicide pact. Sources say the gang of twelve were too afraid to take a chance on losing their manhood and disappointing the heavenly virgins and blew themselves up rather than face the new American Emasculator. Sources close to witnesses noted that six of the gang of twelve had on Iraqi military uniforms. A witness told sources the men were afraid that if they didn't kill the infidel, their assurety of 72 virgins would be in jeopardy, so they blew up the pseudo-infidels. A witness to the witness for the source, Mohammed Mqtdqrda Mohammed, said to sources that he doubted this frightened gang of twelve would fool Allah and that the men might have been better off being turned into women as Allah does not like it if one comes for virgins under false pretenses. Another source said there is a likelihood that Allah is running out of virgins and that Allah is probably sorry he promised virgins in the first place and that a good Muslim extremist was a dead Muslim extremist who didn't care about virgins. A nearby Mullah who wished anonymity stated that it didn't matter anyway as Allah would send the transvestites to hell anyway so there is no winning against the new Emasculator.
