Low frequency speaker system can disrupt breathing.

A new patent from Raytheon outlines a new non-lethal system for controlling protestors and rioting crowds.

An acoustic horn is built into a physical shield, and can be directed at individuals, with a pressure wave that disrupts the respiratory tract and hinders breathing. A row of shields can also be used to disrupt an entire group of people.

From the patent:

A folded acoustic horn is incorporated into the physical shell of the shield. The horn couples acoustic pulses from a sonic pulse generator to an acoustic aperture to output a pulsed pressure beam that approximates a plane wave to produce a pressure barrier.

Wow. The evil applications of this are amazing. And it’ll be awesome to be defending free speech when one literally can’t speak or breathe. Orwell would have a field day with this - as would many pepper-spraying and baton-wielding cops.

p.s. I could see Dethklok finding a good use for this.

   But it’s a non-lethal breath disruptor, and it’s from Raytheon, the people who brought us the safety guillotine.
