So apparently this weapon was designed to fight Japan's Cyberdyne which is advancing HAL.

AFK wrapping my house in tinfoil.

That's HAL 1 though. Still many generations away from HAL 9000 (or T1000).

The greatest defences are the ones that defend against weapons that don't exist yet :).

It's true, just look at the Canadian Military.

I thought the idea behind this weapon was to take out radar? Which I imagine would be pretty hard to use without some sort of electronics.

Quote:
Passive radar is being heavily marketed abroad as the system to use if a country wants to identify U.S. stealth planes including the forthcoming F-35. The passive system evaluates a wide spectrum of anomalies to track a jet, but a burst from CHAMPS, or the new active electronically scanned array (AESA) will render that threat useless.

Not too much a problem. We'll just hire Michael Winslow and wing it.

The F-35's "stealth" tech has been obsolete for about 3 years to any nation not banging rocks for light. Quite possibly the worst defense acquisition mistake in history, and trust me, that's saying something.

Homogenous population low population density. Nations like that, everyone can have 100 guns without major issues. It's not a complicated demographic understanding. The same applies to US states like Maine and Vermont, Wyoming, etc.

And a QIS more or less defeats most of the stealth coatings in the pipeline. It's a pretty serious strategy problem.

I don't see how your point is relevant given the context of what you quoted.

We like to throw a bone to those indigenous people sometimes. Nothing says "sorry about the forced integration" like naming a hunk of metal after one of their former leaders.

Then you need to take a class in basic rhetoric or something, because it couldn't be fucking clearer. In populations full of people who all look the same and live a mile apart, gun violence is less of an issue than it is in a population of different looking people living on top of one another. 10 guns per person in Manhattan leads to more per capita violence than 10 guns per person in Casper (or in this case, Medicine Hat). Not complicated.
