SCALAR ANTI-PERSONNEL WEAPON
SLIDE 80.
From a military viewpoint, these scalar EM
weapons are really quite all-around weapons.
For example, they are very lethal against personnel.
Set in the "high intensity pulse mode," one blast and a person's nervous system is destroyed instantly. Total, instantaneous death results. One can blast
away at entire groups of infantrymen, for example. It's the peak power that's
important, not the average power. So the weapon doesn't require too much battery power.
Set on a lower intensity pulse mode, one zap can simply knock
out a person, rendering him instantly unconscious. Quite useful if one needs prisoners to interrogate. Also very silent, which is
useful in operations employing stealth and surprise.
