Although many of us have MW ovens, I can name like one Saw movie and one DIY channel that showed it’s potential to melt things, and I watch\read a lot of gore and torture on the web. It won’t be used in a military context due to how power consumption and short distance make it useless. But in a Home Alone situation it seems promising, especially as a trap because you won’t stop anyone with that immidiately.
My qustions are:
- How a breaf exposure is dangerous, and can it be used not to harm but to scare off?
- How it’d be treated legally due to it’s weirdness?
- What are general downsides of that, like reflecting it back to the sender or dealing irreversible fatal damage etc?
I’m stupid at basic physics so I’m sure I miss something.
Since we don’t know where you live, nobody can tell you the laws.
For actual home defense at less than lethal means, buy a taser or shotgun with beanbag rounds or mace. Anything homebuilt is unreliable and could get you in trouble with intent laws or weapon manufacturing laws.
Good call.
I don’t think there are a lot of experts in russian law, so I haven’t specified it to maybe hear some stories of when this got used and how it went.
