Active Denial System

[Sheep]

The counter to this ray gun is a marksman with a deer rifle. Shoot the sumbitch who is using it.

See 1963, Ap Bac, for an example of how small arms are a remarkably effective counter to high tech weapons systems, if used correctly.

The counter to any riot squad is a marksman with a deer rifle. Most riots, though, don't involve premeditated murder. If the rioters were particularly bloodthirsty, I suppose you could mount it on an APC; targetting requires the use of a screen and joystick anyways.

The point of the ADS isn't to kill, it isn't even a weapon. It is a tool to disperse crowds and make a specific location innaccessible to anyone who doesn't belong. It wouldn't be used against armed insurgents, in the same way that rubber bullets aren't. Hence, the comparison to Ap Bac doesn't apply.

Would you please explain the Atlas Shrugged reference? Are you comparing the ADS to Project F, Project X, or something else entirely?

Thanks
