FACT 8: WEAPONIZE SOUND FOR PROTECTION
As humans, we have a tendency to turn anything imaginable into a weapon. Which is why we made a gun out of sound. The Long Range Acoustic Device is one such gadget. It looks like a black spotlight, but it’s capable of firing a “beam” of sound at a target hundreds of meters away. The beam emits up to 150 db, which decreases over distance. The weapon can be used for crowd control and for breaking up riots, since the maximum sound output (assuming you are standing right in front of it) is enough to cause severe debilitating pain, as well as permanent damage. On a more positive note, these devices have been used on European cruise ships to ward off Somali pirates. Which finally proves that screaming as loud as you can is the most efficient way to resolve a dispute.
