Electromagnetic beam a new non-lethal weapon for US military

Without a sound, a smell or any warning, a new non-lethal weapon developed by the US military can repel crowds using an invisibile electromagnetic beam that delivers a blast of intolerable heat up to a kilometer away. After years in development, the Active Denial System was recently demonstrated to media by the US army. The effect of the sudden heat is so repellant, the immediate instinct is to flee -- and quickly, as experienced by AFP at the presentation.Duration: 01:33

You expect me to believe this isn’t lethal

[CHiLECHiLL]

imagine getting beamed with this in a room and not being able to escape!!

its like an egg in the microwave

"It did not pass the safety standards, so we will keep using bullets for a while more".

[noeldoe]

That’s how they set some of these cities on fire in America.

[etsystore]

How can it be described as non-lethal if it causes the skin or nerves to burn causing extreme pain, to me that's obviously lethal.

[ealamin]

no healths that is a joke- feeling heated to flee IS feeling sick you are heated up- the weapon is sick

[LexieLooRoblox]

Area 51 raid seems like a good time to test this sort of thing...

[bokchoiman]

Yeah this thing depends on you moving out of the way quickly. If for whatever reason, you can't move, you're getting cooked. This is highly dangerous territory. I fear for our future.

[AmericanHero]

Is this using the same kind of frequency as 5G?

[najahshikamaru]

I've been feeling heat, very hot heat, on my arm it happened two days in a row. Be safe out here

[robertnegron]

Anything that disrupts your electric energy is dangerous, what if a person has a pace maker .

[sirozify]

I met a crazy old man at a bar years ago claiming he was from area 51, talking about a ray like this giving people skin cancer, not saying I believe him but that is odd

[dfinitelydiffrnt]

These few weapons are used on targets like myself and others all over the US plus some in other countries. It feels like your beings cooked from the inside out and nothing helps to cool you off until they stop directing these weapons on the target. The people doing this to others is not just the military either.

[philipmcritchie]

amazing the different ways they find to harm people isnt it..

[revolution]

All these people saying "this is 5g" 5g cant hurt u. U be comparing lighters with torches.

[terminal]

the lack of audio equalization is enough to disperse a crowd

[ultralaggerREV]

And remember this is the GUARDIAN scorestreak from Black Ops

[angelus_solus]

It's things like this that make me laugh when people say the American public can stage a successful revolt against the government, and start talking about how many gun owners there are compared to the military. Most amusing thing is, this device is a fraction of what they're capable of when compared to the equipment they're not showing us.

Plot twist: All the persons beamed in this news story now have cancer

[calebc.]

Reporter: with some minor injuries...look at those clouds, those clouds are nice
