I remember several years ago, a company (which I can't remember the name of) was developping a brand new kind of non lethal energetic weapon, not unlike a paralyzing beam from star wars. It could shoot a laser, ionizing the air between the gun and the target, and then send a series of carefully timed electric pulses through that medium, that would cause the target's motor muscles to contract, effectively paralyzing it.

At they had a prototype that was the size of a briefcase IIRC, and they expected to completed a gun sized one in the next years.]]>May 28th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/laser-energetics-new-light-weapon-puts-you-on-the-highway-to-th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/laser-energetics-new-light-weapon-puts-you-on-the-highway-to-th/
