> Pretty soon we'll have POWER ARMOR!! When my Dad was working for the Feds back in the 80s and 90s (US Armed Forces Modernization) his two favorite projects were Directed Energy and Individual Powered Armor Suits.
I never got to see all of the details on the suits as just about everything was classified but some of the unclassified stuff was pretty cool. I'd give it another 10-15 years. mostly there were power source problems. The Directed Energy Projects (again, the unclassified stuff) were pretty cool too, basically using microwave energy to fry out electronics and other more laser gun type stuff. Problem with laser "pistols" and "rifles" is apparently that there isn't (or wasn't) a power source powerful enough to 1.) be man portable and still be of any use; 2.) be useable more than once without downtime for recharge/replacement... will ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 7:56 AM Subject: RE: This is awesome!!! > 0_0 > > It's a Rail gun. > Fires projectiles electronically. > Zweeem Zweeem... > > That's the noise it probably makes... > Zweeeem! > > There's probably a little light trail behind the projectile too... > ... > Pretty soon we'll have POWER ARMOR!! > > ^_^ > > -Gel > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Actually, I was thinking of a Gibson fletchette gun. > > -Kevin > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
