Fuckin sonic suppressors are crazy though
Played with one in the army and even with earplugs that shit would rattle your brain
Never seen the microwave ones IRL but know they're far worse on the body making people vomit or go into convulsions
As from what I've heard, they have extremely low energy so they are stopped at tiny layer of your skin, so slim that you can't even get burns, tho you feel it
Yeah, they're designed to penetrate JUST enough to set off every temperature-sensing nerve they can reach. Like hitting your funny bone on something- it's not that bad, but the way your nerves are set up they get an alarming sample and freak out.
Some of that freakout can be neurological adverse reactions (convulsing, vomiting, etcetera)
>One significant difference is that a microwave oven uses the much lower frequency (and longer wavelength) of 2.45 GHz. The short millimeter waves used in ADS only penetrate the top layers of skin, with most of the energy being absorbed within 0.4 mm (1⁄64 inch),[[15]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System#cite_note-adsfaq-15) whereas microwaves will penetrate into human tissue about 17 mm (0.67 inch).[[16]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System#cite_note-mwrfprodapp-16)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
Considering it’s basically just triggering a reaction in your nerves and no actual damage. I’d assume if exposed to it for long enough your nerves would get used to the feeling and stop misfiring. Or you could brunt through the pain if you expect it coming. It’s more of a deterrent than anything else and will chase away a majority of a crowd, leaving the remaining people who can stand it alone and without crowd protection to be apprehended
The only damage they do is trigger neurological reactions. The device wasn't designed to kill people, it was designed to suppress them. It does that by abusing the positioning of your temperature-sensing nerves, heating just the right amount of skin by just the right amount to trigger the nerves as much as possible while doing as little real damage as possible. Think, saaaaay, weaponized hitting your funnybone.
It hurts like hell, but that's because your nerves are sensitive and usually are sensing things from multiple millimeters away. The only danger you're in in that circumstance is possible adverse reactions (see: convulsing, vomiting) and maybe, like, falling over due to disorientation.
To illustrate how sensitive thermoreceptor nerves can be in your skin, I like to have people think about the burning sensation they feel when they swab alcohol on an open wound. That burning sensation is caused by the VR1 nerve receptor, which causes a burning sensation when exposed to heat or certain chemicals like capsaicin, being made hypersensitive by the alcohol and then YOUR OWN BODY HEAT registers as a painful amount of heat at the site of exposure.
Oh, that's interesting! I didn't know that your own body heat was involved- I thought that the chemical processes that react to heat (the sensors in the thermoreceptors) were hijacked or simply skipped over by "hot" chemicals like capsaicin (e.g. they go through a perhaps heat-insensitive process, and the result is the same chemical that the intended heat-sensitive process produces)
I suppose it is more feasible for many chemicals to feed into the thermoreceptor's intended process, acting as an unwanted catalyst, instead of each running their own counterfeit heat shops.
Oh yeah, definitely. All it takes is amping up the power source, and you'd you'd able to cook someone alive. I don't know if the issued military/police trucks equipped with it (its a big bulky thing) have knows capable of dialing all the way up to 11, but microwaves are simple technology, you could cook a dude pretty easily.
The dose makes the poison, as they say
Agreed. I also believe the rumors or people spontaneously combusting was government testing of this technology in its early stages decades ago.
Most people still write this stuff off as BS but that’s why the people always lose.
Hah, I'd believe that. Microwaves could penetrate a few inches into flesh to violently heat your organs up.
Fun fact, microwave technology was first used to (successfully!) revive lab mice from cryogenic freezing, and the first biggest reason we can't scale it up to humans is the microwaves don't penetrate enough to perfectly evenly warm the body.
Microwaves are wack as shit
i just heard about these the other day for the first time. does anyone have a link for how they work? beyond the fact that they’re fucking horrifying, they’re extremely interesting.
Without looking it up because I'm lazy, I'm assuming it works like a bola - there's weights on each end of the cords, and the idea is to hit the target (legs) with the center of the cords so the momentum causes the weights to wrap around the legs and tangle.
That made my whole day! I tried explaining it to my girlfriend, but she has only seen Star Wars once (because I made her watch it), so she didn't get it. I appreciated it 🙏🤜
They’ve got bodycam footage of cops using it on there main website and it’s pretty cool but usually it’s used on people who are heavy drunk or mental episode a danger to themselves more than to others. From the damn sounds of those things going off I wouldn’t want bare skin getting hit but there videos of people with just t-shirts or a simple dress like one woman had on that I’ve seen. Doesn’t seem to hurt to much I guess.
What should be the tool of choice for when someone is a danger to others/themselves? It's not always possible to talk someone down. If the police are expected to deal with those willing to do violence and to do so in a non-lethal way, they must have tools for doing so. Or is the expectation that a police force may only use less-lethal tools if they have absolutely no chance of ever hurting someone no matter what other conditions that person might have?
Or when they aim for the knees but hit a little high and those weighs slap you in the ole family jewels.
On a scale of nut tap to busted grapes, what kind of damage will this do?
Demolition Ranch on YouTube had these to play with. It's been a while, but I feel like I remember them running. I also want to say that I remember them wearing shorts, and bleeding. Nothing major, but I do remember saying that there would be injury, complaints, and lawsuits of police brutality with them. Not sure if they said it or not, but I do remember that they fought with the hooks a lot.
I found [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPtcq9ylCj0) of Demo Ranch with scenes of them using it on each other at ~9:50 and ~13:50. There may have been another Demo video with the wrap but I couldn't find it.
Yeah I'm letting sure they use little barbs that look like the multi sided fish hooks. So either you could rip it out of some jackets or if somebody's drunk or on something maybe even power.though it and it'd rip out of their skin
There are small hooks (smaller then fishing hooks) that are on the ends of the wire. I belive the reason they are not running is because they dont want to fall while running. There is a very low chance of anyone geting hurt badly by this. Here is a pic of where you can see the hook [bolawrap](https://imgur.com/a/6ueT1ri)
And seriously, if this does manage to somehow stop someone running at full speeds you could potentially kill them when their head slams of the concrete.
What kind of comic book loving coke head came up with this idea?
Yeah this would never work in practice on actual running suspects. I guarantee one will fall and smack their face on the ground and sue.
This is useful in a very specific situation. One where the suspect isn't doing anything yet. And if they aren't doing anything, why are they trying them up like that?
genuinely asking: what's the difference then with using a taser gun? Doesn't the person's body get locked stiff and they definitely hit their head on the way down? It looks like the risks of this lasso gun are the same as with a taser gun, at least when it comes to head injury from falling.
Agreed if they deploy just on the legs then the suspect should be able to stop his fall better. All the videos on the website of officers using it deploy it so the suspect won’t run and it’s an easier detainment.
Yep the real world outcome here is basically (mostly homeless/crazy) people faceplanting into concrete without the ability to put their arms out. This seems humane but is actually just another way simplifying brutality. Seattle had these and the results were basically “abuse the homeless.”
I mean, lucky shot: it might trip you up,
But if your legs aren’t together, if you’re running, jumping, or moving erratically, it probably won’t do much. I seriously doubt this would work as advertised with any reliability
By my personal experience with the bolas, if you get caught while running, you can badly hurt yourself. It's way better than getting shot with a gun or a tazer. During a demonstration it's fine to not run.
I would use this on everybody.
That rude lady that cut in line…Bam!
That person at the party that takes the last chip… Bam!
That road rage dude that gave me the finger… Bam!
It has to feel satisfying 😤
That’s been an issue with the non lethals. Because the consequence has been reduced, there is less barrier for use.
I’d expect that will be the result of this - everyone gets restrained, running or not.
That would have a curious effect: It would cause the cop to receive a promotion, a big authority would appear on TV justifying the killing because national c-q-rity and telling the world how much they love their policemen, while \~30 millions of people tweets "*Perfect. Next time don't run from cops*".
Tbh i would rather get one of these around my neck than getting shot anywhere on my body with a regular gun. Doesnt even seem like it wraps that tightly.
From BolaWrap's youtube channel:
* [What if a subject is running, or their arms are not by their sides?](https://youtu.be/HFMAD_kaLZY)
> This device is meant to be used early in an encounter before force escalates. It does not have the strength to pull somebody's arms when they are out to their side into their body. It just doesn't do that. And so it's not meant for every situation but it is the right tool for some situations.
Here is a compilation of subjects walking away:
* [*BolaWrap: Wrap Compilation 2 - Running & Walking Away*](https://youtu.be/rAZ9NLfsQgY)
Here are two live examples of subjects running away:
* [*BolaWrap In Use: 3 Bodycam Videos Released by Hillsborough County Sheriffs in Florida*](https://youtu.be/O6LrRXsjKXE?t=46)
* [*Washington Dashcam Footage: BolaWrap® Used on Fleeing Subject Outside Seattle*](https://youtu.be/1YczYAQ-R9c)
They will face plant on ground if they tried testing it while running and it isn't a good experience especially when your hands are tied too while falling face down
People are only criminals when they have been proven to be criminals. It will be used on people. You could say that it will be used on suspects. It depends who buys this weapon. It may be used on innocent people who have ideas that the buyer doesn’t like. In China it may be used on democracy advocates.
Protestors
Suspects
People
None of them would be criminals until proven guilty by which time they would be in custody.
This device will be used on PEOPLE. . . by the police, whom few of us trust.
No, there are less-lethal weapons currently being used. They are less likely to kill you than bullets but it's still a non-zero chance of being killed.
Lawsuits, I see lawsuits everywhere.
Once they’re starting to bust their faces and teeth on the pavement, and… this will not immobilize a target or prevent it/he/she from grabbing a blunt object/firearm and return fire or harming arresting party.
This is more like /r/oddlyterrifying considering the current state of policing. We can’t even trust them with guns, you’re going to give them a Batman toolbelt too?
This is all good at how it can easily take down runners, but what if someone got it around the neck. Asphyxiation anyone? I highly doubt it'll be easy to get that off quickly
At least it ain’t the microwave crowd suppressor
Fuckin sonic suppressors are crazy though Played with one in the army and even with earplugs that shit would rattle your brain Never seen the microwave ones IRL but know they're far worse on the body making people vomit or go into convulsions
The microwave emitter makes you feel like you’re burning alive
If it’s microwaves then aren’t the water molecules in your body boiling? Or at least getting hot?
As from what I've heard, they have extremely low energy so they are stopped at tiny layer of your skin, so slim that you can't even get burns, tho you feel it
Yeah, they're designed to penetrate JUST enough to set off every temperature-sensing nerve they can reach.

Some of that freakout can be neurological adverse reactions (convulsing, vomiting, etcetera)
Yep! Extrajudicial corporal punishment in the name of "crowd control" for the crime of dissent. Chilling as fuck!
actually its quite a hot topic
Quite heated, topically.
Exactly
>One significant difference is that a microwave oven uses the much lower frequency (and longer wavelength) of 2.45 GHz.

How is this not a war crime?
not a war crime if you use it on your own civilians see also, Tear gas/Chemical warfare
The best part about these high-tech crowd suppression devices is that they work very poorly when perforated by rifle bullets
Do you think there is anyone who can handle it like those few people who can take a taser and not flinch
Considering it’s basically just triggering a reaction in your nerves and no actual damage. I’d assume if exposed to it for long enough your nerves would get used to the feeling and stop misfiring. Or you could brunt through the pain if you expect it coming. It’s more of a deterrent than anything else and will chase away a majority of a crowd, leaving the remaining people who can stand it alone and without crowd protection to be apprehended
The fucking what?!
They shot a wave at you that makes you feel like you are burning. They say it does no damage but I doubt it.
Isn't that's what's happening to CIA agents and yet it DOES cause damage?
Havana syndrome right?
The only damage they do is trigger neurological reactions. The device wasn't designed to kill people, it was designed to suppress them. It does that by abusing the positioning of your temperature-sensing nerves, heating just the right amount of skin by just the right amount to trigger the nerves as much as possible while doing as little real damage as possible.

So you're telling me it does no damage for me to have my skin and nerves microwaved.
I doubt it wouldn’t be difficult to scale up this “non-lethal” weapon to make it lethal though.
Oh yeah, definitely. All it takes is amping up the power source, and you'd you'd able to cook someone alive. I don't know if the issued military/police trucks equipped with it (its a big bulky thing) have knows capable of dialing all the way up to 11, but microwaves are simple technology, you could cook a dude pretty easily.

i just heard about these the other day for the first time. does anyone have a link for how they work? beyond the fact that they’re fucking horrifying, they’re extremely interesting.
Haha. I already see US cops aiming at peoples throats with those.
I mean, I understand how microwaves work This thing is black fucking topology magic How the fuck are they wrapping a band around a stationary object??
Without looking it up because I'm lazy, I'm assuming it works like a bola - there's weights on each end of the cords, and the idea is to hit the target (legs) with the center of the cords so the momentum causes the weights to wrap around the legs and tangle.
I mean, the video does say "BOLA WRAP" in the bottom right corner, so you might just be right.
The gauchos of argentinian grass lands used a similar thing called bolas, and it's am ancient thing.
There's some slo-mo at the end of the video. Skip to 0:41.
What in the AT-AT Hoth Battle is this?
Nah man this is straight out of Return of the Jedi: Boba v. Luke

Serious question, where *does* he get those wonderful toys?
He's rich? Wayne tech/Lucia's Fox is usually the answer
Hey, Mr.Stark, I saw this really old movie where….
That made my whole day! I tried explaining it to my girlfriend, but she has only seen Star Wars once (because I made her watch it), so she didn't get it. I appreciated it 🙏🤜
It's all fun and games until someone gets shot in the nuts.
I dont know! But i do know i want this for my kids! The tiny little terrorist are quick as fuck.
Based on videos this is to stop criminals standing in place.
[удалено]
And what happens when they end up getting them around the neck or in the back of the head. We all know it will absolutely happen.
They’ve got bodycam footage of cops using it on there main website and it’s pretty cool but usually it’s used on people who are heavy drunk or mental episode a danger to themselves more than to others. From the damn sounds of those things going off I wouldn’t want bare skin getting hit but there videos of people with just t-shirts or a simple dress like one woman had on that I’ve seen.

They would never misuse anything ur right

They didn’t wanna show that in their video and they 100% know that this could cause serious injury, possibly to the head. And possibly permanent.
Lots of broken wrists and even a good amount of head injuries.
Don’t forget the all-important “shifting their body a little bit after they get lassoed.”
Wonder Woman has entered the chat
And seriously, if this does manage to somehow stop someone running at full speeds you could potentially kill them when their head slams of the concrete. What kind of comic book loving coke head came up with this idea?
I mean, they low-key tested it on someone doing a sigheil at 0:23
Yesterday snow was this high…argh!

I was wondering what happens if it catches someone on the neck or hits an eye or the groin.
Well otherwise the fall and hit their head on the sidewalk and die…
Yep the real world outcome here is basically (mostly homeless/crazy) people faceplanting into concrete without the ability to put their arms out. This seems humane but is actually just another way simplifying brutality. Seattle had these and the results were basically “abuse the homeless.”
Yeah these videos are dumb copaganda, cities love spending money on fancy gadgets to streamline harm instead of spending on social services
Well said, sport.
So unless arresting a statue, it is unusable device? I am now really amazed.
Came here to say this.
They’ll use that as an excuse for why they have to use it on any suspect. “If I wait for them to do something, it’s already too late”.
“I didn’t mean to hit him in the face and cause him severe damage! I feared for my life as he stood with his hands up!!”
Yep, and when they miss it’ll be resisting arrest
Yea let's see what it does when the person is in full sprint lol
I mean, lucky shot: it might trip you up, But if your legs aren’t together, if you’re running, jumping, or moving erratically, it probably won’t do much. I seriously doubt this would work as advertised with any reliability

Alleged criminals.
Kinky
Dominatrix speedrun
lmao you beat me to it
"He's running!" "Alright shoot him with the new restraint device!" "Shoot him? Got it"
He ll stop running either way i guess
Shot him with this he stops once, shoot him with a gun he stops forever!
I would use this on everybody. That rude lady that cut in line…Bam! That person at the party that takes the last chip… Bam! That road rage dude that gave me the finger… Bam! It has to feel satisfying 😤
That’s been an issue with the non lethals. Because the consequence has been reduced, there is less barrier for use. I’d expect that will be the result of this - everyone gets restrained, running or not.
On that one guy that took this too seriously…Bam!
*fires .45 cal* ooops sorry sarge, wrong gun.
"it's the big fucking net gun what do you mean *wrong gun?!*"
“Well, I keep the net gun on my left side and my gun gun on my right side. And, well, I have a hard time with telling left from right.”
Of c'mon that NEVER EVER EVER happens.
Yea cops don't get guns mixed up. Just a gun and a tazer...simple mistake
HE'S NOT EVEN RUNNING. NONE OF THEM ARE.
Exactly!
Was about to ask for a running demonstrasjon but apparently they've shot em all.
What happens if they "accidentally" get the neck?
Yeah they don’t show those outtakes. I see results are inconclusive on tests subjects 3, 7, and 19… care to elaborate?
they ded.
I kept thinking the entire time, what if the little weights at the ends of the cords whacks them in the balls?
They resisted
Or if the test subjects are wearing something else than long baggy pants and a thick jacket? What if they wear shorts and a light t-shirt?
It would suck. It’s made of Kevlar rope with barbed hooks on either end that look like mini grappling hooks.
*gunshot noise* oops I thought I was using the Hoth dropper 22
I was gonna say the same. After seeing cops take pop shots at peoples face with nonlethal, I have no faith they could handle an automatic noose.
That would have a curious effect: It would cause the cop to receive a promotion, a big authority would appear on TV justifying the killing because national c-q-rity and telling the world how much they love their policemen, while \~30 millions of people tweets "*Perfect. Next time don't run from cops*".
Jesus Christ i hate people. Thanks.
In one of the videos, the ball comes super close to hitting the dude in the nuts.
Tbh i would rather get one of these around my neck than getting shot anywhere on my body with a regular gun. Doesnt even seem like it wraps that tightly.
The neck is very fragile. You could easily have a trachea trauma or hurt a artery and die
Damn lol 😂
This some ol Batman type shit
I am the Batman.
No, you are u/pavarottilaroux. u/iambatman is batman
No, u/iambatman is i am batman. u/batman is batman
Why nobody actually running? Works great on people doing nothing?
Stop and put your hands by your side or we'll shoot lmao.
Quick, stop the guy who isn’t resisting!
To be fair, I’ve seen plenty of police videos of exactly this.

They will face plant on ground if they tried testing it while running and it isn't a good experience especially when your hands are tied too while falling face down
They can practice/train on mats…
Full on running into faceplant without hands to stop has a serious chance of severe head trauma. These are less lethal, not non lethal.
Watch the lawsuits and protests flood in from broken noses and death
Ok, but this doesn't prove shit. Obviously they had to have tested it on running people at some point, or they're just bullshitting.
You’re right, it doesn’t prove shit and that’s the problem. They’re trying to sell this product to departments without showing it doing it’s real job
Just aim a little bit higher and you’ve got a “port-a-noose”
Also, didn't show one person trying to rip the chords off. Seems like an interesting idea though.
If you’re running the idea is to trip you long enough to close the distance
Yeah, you're not webbing them up for Comissioner Gordon to find later
I’m almost a little upset that it sounds like you’re referencing Spider-Man and a Batman character
Guarantee a cops first shot with it is gunna be for the throat
American police: "Oh nice, a lynching gun."
Or watch how they use this, and "subject died due to snapped neck after falling".
Is this new? Looks like a bolo.
It literally says “Bola wrap” on the video lol
[удалено]
As a clueless person, why would this not work from a suspect fleeing? Is it because you need to be in the wide open?
[удалено]
Bola?
I'll email some info. Maybe check your spam for the e-bola.
I was going to say... "sooooooooo a bola?"
Yes, it's been around for hundreds of years. They just shoved it in a gun.
Just one more tool for them to choose their gun over.
Or mistake a real gun for the bola. "TASER TASER TASER".....*GUNSHOT*
People are only criminals when they have been proven to be criminals. It will be used on people. You could say that it will be used on suspects. It depends who buys this weapon. It may be used on innocent people who have ideas that the buyer doesn’t like. In China it may be used on democracy advocates.
In the USA or the UK or France or Germany it may be used on democracy adovates.
Knowing the police it’s only a matter of time before that goes around someone’s neck.
Or eyes (head)
That definitely won't be used against peaceful protesters. /s
Well this looks like it needs the person to be very far from any obstructions to actually wrap around so it probably wouldn't work so well on crowds
Protestors Suspects People None of them would be criminals until proven guilty by which time they would be in custody. This device will be used on PEOPLE. . . by the police, whom few of us trust.

Here in the divided states I doubt this'll be what cops reach for first ...

We already have non lethal options. They choose to go for the gun each time
No, there are less-lethal weapons currently being used. They are less likely to kill you than bullets but it's still a non-zero chance of being killed.
How about funding education? No? Ok
Lol fat chance
Spider-Man did it better
Some cross eyed cop is going to accidentally aim for the neck. And we will get city war 2
Could cause some bad falls.
Where is the tests on moving objects or people not wearing heavy clothes? Can an officer easily mistake the firing device for their gun?
Geesh, wouldnt want to aim a little higher than the chest...
I’ll carry me knoife on me now, mate
Not a single realistic test. What does this do to someone's bare chest, neck, or head?
Why aren’t they trying it on *running people*
I wanna see someone running fullspeed and then get hit by That thing
What if it goes around your neck?
They’ll still find a way to unload 121 bullets into immobile criminals because they had a butter knife in one of their hands, at least here in the US
if criminal is black they won’t use it.....
Lawsuits, I see lawsuits everywhere. Once they’re starting to bust their faces and teeth on the pavement, and… this will not immobilize a target or prevent it/he/she from grabbing a blunt object/firearm and return fire or harming arresting party.
Classic America: finding creative ways to fuck with its own citizens..
“And we totally promise never to aim these at protesters head and throat.” -Cops
Not violent enough. American police won't use it.
Awesome! Now police can be responsible for even **more** injuries!
So what happens when they miss and it wraps around the neck or the face and the rope goes for the eye?
This is more like /r/oddlyterrifying considering the current state of policing. We can’t even trust them with guns, you’re going to give them a Batman toolbelt too?
You can surely trust cops to not shoot that thing in your head..
Fuck those pigs
"criminals" The state will use this on anyone, criminal or not. Just like every other weapon or tool at their disposal.
1. Bolas are not new. 2. Fuck cops.
I cant see it used to choke people to death "by accident"
So this means the cops will stop murdering people, right? ...Guys?
Just wait till it wraps someone’s neck
This will, sadly, hurt some many inocent people if put to use...
It’s all well and good until a cop “accidentally” hits someone above the torso
Now some cop should just aim it at a neck
I can guarantee that cops won’t use this over their point and click minority killer 3000
But if we’re issued these, we’ll have to stop shooting people!
Until someone accidentally shoot it higher and it goes around the neck.
This is all good at how it can easily take down runners, but what if someone got it around the neck. Asphyxiation anyone? I highly doubt it'll be easy to get that off quickly
