Sonic/ Ultrasonic weapon?

Question

I checked with police and they said there is no policy on these "toy" sonic weapons, so I guess they must be legal, i think...

Why is it so difficult to purchase one of these, or the small electronics kits (to make one)? After all, how powerful can it be at like $350?

Is there some type of legal reason why these are tough to find or buy?

Thanks guys for this. They definately exist. The guy upstairs from me has one and aims it at my appartment every night. I have not slept at night for like a year, and will have to drop my degree if I cannot find one. The police say there's nothing they can do except noise pollution complaint, and the guy turns it off every time they arrive. I appear to have zero legal protection.

I have tried some "alternative sources" and they seem to know what I mean, but half way through the conversation they get this wierd pained look on their face and grit their teeth hard and then say no.

Hi, Kevin N. Interestingly, it only takes a narrow beam of about 130db of high frequency sonic sound to stun someone (although this isn't published - because published effects are for ambient sound, not a beam). According to police, they have no policy on it, so I guess it doesn't classify as a weapon. If the police could help me I would not want to purchase one.

Answer 1

this is not an answer, its more of a question...

REALLY?!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS ITS IN THE MARKET FOR THE PUBLIC TO BUY?!!!

im really interested to know. though i think such a weapon would be impractical, as it would require a large energy source... i am really interested to know such a technology. tell me any website/etc2... though i know my country definitely will take it as illegal, haha.

Answer 2

Show me some evidence that such weapons even exist outside of some military laboratory, and that there is a company making such a weapon for consumer sales.

The only references I can find are either "loud noise" makers used in psychological warfare (think Manuel Noriega) and directed soundwave devices designed to control rioting crowds by causing stomach problems.

the Discovery Channel show "MythBusters" tested the idea of sonic weaponry, and could not make the concept work.

My name is Darren M. and I believe I am being targeted with concentrated infrasonic sound waves while I attempt to sleep at night. I believe I am being targeted for D.E.W. (directed energy weapon) experimentation/harassment purposes by an entity within the U.S. government employing private contractors to carry out this experimentation/harassment.

I am awakened many times throughout my sleep periods to a feeling of vibrations traveling through my body in a straight line. The vibrations are focused in a narrow beam. It is impossible for me to stay asleep when I am targeted with these inaudible concentrated sound waves which increase my pulse rate as they travel through me. Different parts of my body are targeted at different times. When my head is targeted I will awake with moderate to severe headaches. I have also experienced head spins to the point that I had to lift my head up out of a lying down position to make them stop. When my chest area is targeted, I will awake with rapid or irregular heartbeats. In addition, I experience sleep deprivation on a nightly basis due to the repeated forced awakenings. The private contractors that target me hit me every 1-2 hours on average during the first part of my sleep period, and they increase the frequency of their targeting to every 15-30 minutes during the 2nd part of my sleep period. I fear that I will lose my job and become homeless due to the sleep deprivation that this experimentation/harassment has caused me. I also fear that my health will deteriorate.

I want to make sure that my story is told in the event this experimentation causes my premature death. I also want to make sure that potential future victims do not suffer the way I have. I don’t believe anyone can help me because of my failed attempts to provide proof of this experimentation and the apparent disbelief and disinterest of the authorities in the U.S.

Answer 4

I am not aware of a weopan of this type which truely works. I think the trouble selling this kind of kit or weopan is that the technology doesn't work yet.

Answer 5

I have'nt heard of them. If they are toys then they would'nt be weapons. As soon as they become powerful enough to disable someone, then they would be weapons, and I'm sure they won;t be legal.
