It's true that there's a bomb that has got strange effects similar to the ToS EMP-ray.
It should be called BLU114/B (but I'm not sure.... I'm not an expert about bombs) and it was used by NATO, for the first time in a real conflict, during the strike against Serbia (it was the 3rd of may 1999).
It's an explosive device that spreads out into the surrounding environment polverized graphite.
The graphite settles on the electrical cables, and penetrates into the little splits of the equipments inside the pover-plants.
The graphite is a good conductor of electricity, and so it causes a dispersion of electricity from the cables and short-circuits in the electrical equipments inside the power-plants.
This results in a suspension of the electrical supplies (temporary black-outs) and in persistent problems with electrical devices (which don't work) into the area covered by the graphite's dust, until the dust itself is almost removed.
As I said, this weapon has got powerful effects similar to an EMP device, but, physically, it works in a different way in comparison to an EMP-ray (which is a direct-energy weapon).
[So, to say the truth, it's more similar to my NWM vector, than to an hypothetical EMP-pulser]
About the Gauss cannon.....
I don't know anything about such a weapon: probably there are some studies and experiments about it, but I don't know them and I never saw this weapon in action during a real conflict.
So I would like to know something more about it. (I'm speaking sincerely)
About the war.....
My great-grandfather (from my mum'side) was an artilleryman during the first world war.
My grandfather (from my dad's side) was an Alpine trooper during the second world war.
My grandfather (from my mum's side) was an italian secret agent during the second world war.
My dad was a drill sergeant at italian C.A.R. (the training center for recruits) and he was also a tank soldier.
I also did my military service in 1995 as an air-force guard (here in Italy it was obligatory to do the military service until a few years ago when there was the military reform which introduced the voluntary service).
So I don't think I need explanations about war.....
About the NWM vector.....
Well..... it's from the beginning that I'm saying that NWM vector is a "cruise-class" or "tomahawk-class" missile.
I didn't say that thing only in the last post to justify or to balance my weapon.
There are 3 good reasons (and a half
) which drove me to think about a big missile, but, as I told in my last post, I don't want to continue to talk about the NWM vector on this forum. If you want we may talk about those reasons privately.About the democracy.....
I wasn't saying that peoples who don't express their ideas on this forum surely agree with my idea.
On the contrary it was an implicit suggestion to those peoples to post on the forum, to express their ideas.
Moreover, as I noticed on the poll and as I told in my last post, NWM vector has got 3 votes and EMP pulser has got 2 votes.
So I think that the "majority" who likes the EMP pulser should be a little more polite.....
And about the fact that none tried to ridicule or belittle my idea..... well..... I have some doubts about that.....
