"Goodbye weapon"? Any weapon that kills. Just before you use it, say "goodbye" to the "target". :)

I suppose they could eventually tune it so it causes impulses to travel along the nerves without heating the tissues. Change the power levels to go from irritating "goodbye" weapon to "goodnight" weapon - set this thing on stun!

>Who knows, one day maybe wars will be fought with just incapacitating devices whereby no-one get killed - maybe bombs that just put you to blissful sleep. Hey, why not just use paint-ball guns?

Bang! Combatants fall down. They awaken in 5 minutes. Bang! "Deja Vu weapon". ;)
