Active Denial System

[Occhidiangela]

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.

I don't think you understand what I was talking about. Your use of "riot" and "rioters" ignores the uses that this thing can be made of in crowded scenarios that are not a "riot." Watch the connotations.

The point of the ADS isn't to kill, it isn't even a weapon.

Horse apples. It is a weapon, intended to cause physical harm and disable people. The US military has been working on "Non Lethal Weapons" for over twenty years, for use in OOTW scenarios and civil disturbances, with the intent of using WEAPONS that don't kill.

Your attempt at semantic distinction is discarded for the error that it is.

Ap bac most certainly does, VC, not NVA, but I don't think you are interested in understanding why.

Would you please explain the Atlas Shrugged reference?

No. If you didn't get it the first time, it wasn't that scintillating a stroke of brilliance that it merits being beat into the dirt with further comment. FFS, it's Ayn Rand material.
