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:

  1. How a breaf exposure is dangerous, and can it be used not to harm but to scare off?
  2. How it’d be treated legally due to it’s weirdness?
  3. 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.

Yeah, I can’t even guess at Russian laws, I don’t even know if they are consistent throughout your (very large) country.
