#1 Active Denial System - kick ass. Whoever comes up with some of these acronyms should get a medal.

#2 ADS...is a super system that is great against a crowd. If you have say...several bad guys (read: terrorists) among a crowd of civilians...you aim at the civilians in front, or around the dude with the weapon..and wjen his human shield drops/jumps away...you tag the shooter with da reel thing.

#3 I believe the gentlemen at 57 West 57th St in NYC first deployed a functional Active Denial System.

#5 Didn't find anything about Active Denial System (ADS) on Global Security but the AF has a fact sheet.

#6 I wonder if it can cookoff rounds. If we plan to use the system domestically for crowd control, I hope we tested it on people wearing foil hats.

#7 Can find anything in particular about the "Gunslinger" system. I wonder whether the system works off of three or more microphones displaced 10 feet apart both vertically and horizontally with a computer that calculates the source of the shot based on an instantaneous comparison of the signal strengths for the sound wave.

#8 A developing secret program application, however for those who remember the auto fire system installed in the halls at the terra forming station in "Aliens 2"; a system which is similar!

#9 It would be fun to see a trailer mounted CWIS respond to sniper fire in full automatic mode.
