USMil to Add Long Range Stun Gun and Flying Disk Drone to Arsenal

Two fun bits about hi-tech weapons today. First up, we have a new type of flying drone. Back on September 6, 2006, Engadget.Com [http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/lethal-frisbee-uav-to-hunt-down-evildoers/|blogged] on a Frisbee-shaped drone that would launch from a sort-of-skeet-launcher (as in skeet shooting) that would then be able to:
locate fortified foes and, to "provide precision fires to neutralize these hostiles."
Hm, that sounds like a big disk--or would it be a suicide Frisbee? A day earlier, Engadget.Com [http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/05/long-range-stun-guns-en-route/|blogged] on another new military weapon coming down the pike--the long-range stun gun. Unlike current stun guns that require you to touch your victim attacker, this new pistol will fire a small dart up to 450 feet. That dart will carry a 40,000 volt charge that will remove any human from their feet. The good news is that these weapons are not fatal. Too bad USGIs can't use these in battle.
