Heat ray gun

If unlike me, your not in a heat wave and feel like you could do with warming up, thank the lord for the US military and George Bush’s defense budget!! Forever on a quest for more fire power they have come up with a real working heat ray gun!!!!!
The gun as pictures above and attached to the compulsory Hummer is called the Active Denial System, and projects an invisible high energy beam up to 500m that goes through clothing and penetrates the skin to only a tiny depth producing a sudden burning feeling (up to 50C!).
Military officials say it is “enough to cause discomfort but no lasting harm”, and believe it could be used as a non-lethal way of making enemies surrender their weapons.
“Non-lethal weapons are important for the escalation of force, especially in the environments our forces are operating in,” said very cool named Marine Col Kirk Hymes, director of the development programme.
The weapon could potentially be used for dispersing hostile crowds in conflict zones such as Iraq or Afghanistan, however when not in use with the US military, I suggest it could be better used to warm toast and give people a nice warm feeling in cold climates.
