Is there a weapon that beams particles like a taser?

In summary, a person is experiencing pain and believes they are being hit with some kind of weapon. After investigating, the person mentions seeing three different individuals with a baton or wand and experiencing extreme pain without any visible wounds. They are seeking advice on what kind of weapon could be causing this and mention the possibility of a microwave emitter, soundwaves, or particles. However, others in the conversation believe it may be a case of paranoia and there is no evidence to support the use of such technology on the person.

My friend insists she is being "hit" with something that causes her pain. She has no diseases that would cause the pain. At first I thought she imagining things but after further investigation, there are reasons to believe her. She said she saw three different persons have a baton or wand which they waved at her as they drove by her house. That doesn't sound like a taser. I did some research on different kinds of weapons but I couldn't decide which kind it would be. She said she was hit on the head several nights ago. She didn't describe a shock feeling like a taser, just extreme pain. She told me some other weird things which I found were true so there has to be a weapon that could cause pain without inflicting a wound. Would that be a proton beam or a delta beam or what? Any ideas?

Skizit, I've just seen your other thread too. Sounds like you're paranoid. Get a grip!

I've got to agree, this really does sound like paranoia. I think we're really getting into tin-foil hat territory here!

The only thing that can really do what you described is a microwave emitter, which are usually mounted on the back of Humvees.

Actually, the pain and all may be from some things that are worth checking out as a medical problem. The whole syndrome may be a small tumor to severe imbalance in blood chemistry, or ?? Worth looking into ...

Brewnog, I wish I were paranoid. A microwave transmitter sounds plausible. What would block microwaves? I'm looking for a scientific possibility. Paranoia is always a possibility. She's had psychiatric testing with no positive results for psychiatric abnormalities.

This lady said someone was on her roof every night beaming something at her. I didn't believe her so I went and spent the night with her. Night after night I would see nothing except one night I saw a man in a hazmat suit walking on the sidewalk in front of her house. He walked to the side of the house, jumped the fence, I heard him on the roof, heard him jump off, there was a thud and then I saw him jump the fence and walk away the same way he came. This lady has a white roof. Maybe the total body white hazmat suit was a camoflage or a protection from something in the attic like fiberglas insulation. If there was something hidden up under the roof or in the attic, that would explain that. From that time on I believed her when she said there was someone on the roof. I have had her prove each and everything she claims. I've got to find out the possibility of this kind of a weapon.

When you know someone is on the roof, there is some reason to believe perhaps that they may have state of the art tools perhaps a taser, a microwave beam, a particle weapon. These guns may have been Buck Rogers at one time, but they are a reality in 2008. We're just trying to figure out what it may be. When you are "hit", it causes pain in your head, heart palpitations, a buzzing feeling around your body. It may be microwaves, soundwaves, particles, etc. Just thought someone might know.

I have read about the new mounted weapon not used much yet which uses sound to blast into a crowd for crowd dismissal. That goes away as soon as the persons move out of the way of the beam so is effective in dispersing crowds without harming anyone so I know there has to be a comparable handheld weapon that can cause pain like a cattle prod. I have been researching the possibilities.

Don't make fun, that's not nice.

There are no such weapons, and certainly not in the size you are suggesting. And it certainly is puzzling why anyone would use such technology on your friend.

There is no physics content here other than guesswork, which is against our Rules.

Related to Is there a weapon that beams particles like a taser?

1. What is a particle-beam weapon?

A particle-beam weapon is a type of directed-energy weapon that uses energetic particles, such as electrons, protons, or neutrons, to cause damage to a target. These particles are usually accelerated to high speeds and focused into a narrow beam, similar to a laser beam.

2. How does a particle-beam weapon work?

Particle-beam weapons work by using an energy source, such as a power plant or battery, to accelerate particles to high speeds. These particles are then directed using magnetic fields and focused into a beam. When the beam hits a target, the high-energy particles cause damage by breaking apart the target's atoms and molecules.

3. Can a particle-beam weapon be used as a taser?

No, a particle-beam weapon cannot be used as a taser. Tasers use electricity to incapacitate a target, whereas particle-beam weapons use energetic particles. Additionally, tasers are designed to be non-lethal, while particle-beam weapons are intended for military use and can cause serious damage or even death.

4. Are particle-beam weapons currently in use?

Yes, particle-beam weapons are currently in use by some militaries, particularly the United States. However, they are not widely deployed and are still considered to be in the experimental phase.

5. What are the potential risks and benefits of using particle-beam weapons?

The potential benefits of particle-beam weapons include their high speed and precision, which could make them effective against long-range targets. However, there are also significant risks, such as the potential for collateral damage and the ethical concerns surrounding the use of such powerful weapons. Additionally, there are still many technical challenges to be overcome before particle-beam weapons can be fully deployed and used effectively in combat situations.
