Latest real-world weaponry
EchizenR:
I just came across this article which described the latest in so-called EM weapons. Perhaps the designers could get some new ideas from this.
"Invisible Wars" of the Future: E-Bombs, Laser Guns and Acoustic Weapons

Sophisanmus:
EMPs and such may not be feasible against alien technology, possibly due to their material and existing defenses. Don't get me wrong, I love EMP weapons when they appear and behave properly, but I don't think this is the right setting, with small-scale infantry-based skirmishes.
Acoustic weapons, though a nifty hats-off to Terror from the Deep, may be too nonlethal. Alien armor might be inherently resistant, or whatever life-support systems they use may nullify weaker pressure variations. Perhaps the updated Flashbangs incorporate the products of any acoustic breakthroughs. There was a time when we thought lasers could be used to wipe out entire armies.
Lasers are already implemented in their feasible anti-personnel role.
A better example of EM-based weaponry would be the in-game Bolter, or the modern-day inspiration, the Railgun. I think there may be more EM acceleration weaponry planned, when they have the resources.
Nevasith:
I read it and i wonder, what a fascist one must be, to design an ozone layer destructing weapon...
Darkpriest667:
nevasith the same kind of fascists that designed the orgasm gun.... and no folks im not joking... it emitted a phere's and acoustics...
needless to say... it was an utter failure.. these new acoustic weapons they are coming out with.. less than lethal my ass...
the long term side affects are devestating.. The nazis and japanese tested them in WW2 but the tech and energy sources werent there to make it feasable... now they are...
EchizenR:
Haha, has anyone heard of DARPA's gay bomb? (a bomb that makes soldiers go gay over each other)
