(Oilprice.com) Gulf states are planning to use ray guns to protect their oil and gas infrastructure and also dissuade pirate attacks.
Raytheon, the largest manufacturer of missiles in the world and one of the largest US defence contractors, has developed a ray gun called the ‘Silent Guardian’.
"Silent Guardian directs a focused beam of millimeter wave energy that travels at the speed of light producing an intolerable sensation that causes targeted individuals to flee or take cover. The sensation immediately ceases when an individual moves away from the beam or the operator discontinues engagement.
