    I seriously doubt it, and to me this would fall under the ould Military category here on boards?

    The riot squad are trialling them.
    When a mob gathers, they'll wheel out a big sign that says 'did you leave on the immersion?' and the crowd scatters...

    They are chiefly laser,and (not so much at the moment) microwave, + definitely a no. Loads is being spent on laser tech for space, but its big down here too.

    Laser rifles and such.

    And OP, the answer is Yes.
    Both at infantry level & on vehicle mounts, we have lots of energy weapons.

    The Irish army phased out bullets nearly 15 years ago.
    Now it's just good old ion bolts from the ol' plasma fusion powered pulse rifles.

    Even hunters & farmers have largely switched to direct energy laser weapons

    This country would be lucky to have a tamagotchi, that's about it.

    I hope they've tested them tbh op, otherwise how would you know if they work correctly...

    Anyway there is some grainy footage on the internet of an alleged test, judge for yourself. This appears to have been filmed somewhere in Leitrim
