| Chinese scientists develop handheld sonic weapon for crowd control |
| 2019-09-20 |
| [South China Morning Post] China has developed the world’s first portable sonic gun for riot control, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said. The rifle-shaped instrument, which was jointly developed with military and law enforcement, is designed to disperse crowds using focused waves of low frequency sound, the academy's Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry website said on Wednesday. The device’s "biological effect" would cause extreme discomfort, with vibrations in the eardrums, eyeballs, stomach, liver, and brain, scientists said. Studies dating to the 1940s found that low frequency sound energy could, depending upon intensity and exposure, cause dizziness, headaches, vomiting, bowel spasms, involuntary defecation, organ damage and heart attacks. |

| #6 It's the most likely explanation of why it happened all at the same time all at US embassies. Some kind of anti-surveillance defense that had unexpected backlash. You'll notice the "attacks" have stopped, likely because they figured out what was happening and stopped it. |

| #2 That was likely some kind of defense. Notice how you stopped hearing about it, once they couldn't use it to blame foreigners. |
