Hooray! It's just like Mardi Gras!

They're really trying hard to get as many Star Trek references as possible in that article.

The vomit gun!

You know, for some reason after reading that, I don't really see this gun being all that terrifying. With the Air Force's skin fryer, there seemed to be pain involved.
With the Navy's barf-o-matic, I just get flashbacks to the Family Guy episode where Peter, Brian, Chris, and Stewie all chug ipecac.

Except for some people, vomiting can be life-threatening. Diabetics for example would have to replace the lost sugar in a fairly decent amount of time. People with gastrointestinal problems may be adversely effected. People with breathing problems may suffer complications from the gag reflex.
I could go on. But I'm dull.

Well, a bit aside the topic but anyway... I would like to know what kind of an effect the microwave skin toaster gun would have on a bunch of sauna-conditioned people... :mad2:

I find it odd that weapon seems to be changing it's impetus on weapon design from 'killing the bad guy' to 'controlling a crowd that doesn't agree with you'.
It really doesn't bode well in the long run.

I can just picture these things being used on eachother on board ship. Particularly at meal time.

The purpose of all these non-lethal projects is to develop weapons that can be used on protestors (angry mobs in mediaspeak) in occupied countries without the diplomatic fuss of massacring them or threatening them with lethal force. Of course, if they work on protestors in foreign countries, there's no reason why they won't work on domestic unrest...

Hey, I nabbed this from the cargo shipment. First one to puke is latrine queen for the next three weeks!

"which are designed to disperse crowds by lightly frying their outer skin layers."
lightly frying? and if the power setting accidentaly was increased? then we have some toasted people, or ppl made deaf.
-
So what we have here is an (EVE Term) faction stasis webifer/target jammer that causes puking.
I think the sick sticks of Minority report would have been a better comparison than 'Set phasers to puke.'

Star Trek is better known though.

I had a weird picture as I read the "unconscious vomiting" part.
"Stun him!"
*dude falls over*
"Subject down-- Wait, what the hell is that?"
*Unconscious dude gurgles*
"****ing sick dude!"

Maybe "lightly frying" was a bad choice of words. Use "causing lots of pain" instead.

Its all fun and games until someone drowns in their own vomit. Then its lethal again.

Perhaps "Hot enough to Incapacitate" would be best

Sunscreen anyone?
