The military has developed a new Non-Lethal weapon called the Ray Gun. This new weapon uses high energy waves that makes the target feel that he is about to catch fire and he drops his weapons. According to some military officials the use of such weapons can save the lives of hundreds of innocent people in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Though the weapon is not expected to go into production till 2010, but still the officials gave a demo of the project. They fired beams from a large dish antenna that was mounted atop a Humvee at people who were enacting as terrorists. The range of the gun is claimed to be more than 500 yards that is seventeen times more than the range of other non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets. The beam gives a sudden burst of heat to the target that is about 130-degree Fahrenheit. This heat makes the target think that his clothes are about to catch fire. The gun relies on the use of millimeter waves that can penetrate just 1/64th of an inch of human skin. This is enough to cause pain and discomfort to the target. These millimeter waves are even less harmful than the in kitchen Microwave’s, radiation from which can penetrate several inches of the human skin. The beams can also pass through all the clothing material. But if you are creative enough and have developed some concrete and glass clothes then you can say that you are safe
