7 I suppose it'd be bigger than a fountain pen. As the range increased, so would its mass, yes?

8 There are rumors of a kinetic energy weapon capable of killing a man instantly at over 1,000 meters. The weapon is allegedly powered by a self-catalyzing free radical chemical reaction and uses a shaped pellet, usually of lead or depleted uranium, as the energy transfer mechanism.

12 Kill far more with the COVID jab.

Back in the '60s a 'spy' program featured an episode with a fountain pen (before Bic) with a liquid nitrogen delivery system, press it against the brain or chest.

13 [AI]
Discombobulator

The **"Discombobulator"** is a **classified U.S. weapon system** described by President Donald Trump as the decisive tool used during the **January 3, 2026** raid in Caracas that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Trump stated the device **disabled enemy electronics**, preventing Russian and Chinese-made rockets from firing, and caused **disorientation among personnel**, allowing U.S. forces to operate without casualties.

**Alleged Capabilities and Effects**
Reports and expert analysis suggest the system is a **Directed Energy Weapon (DEW)**, likely utilizing **High-Power Microwave (HPM)** technology to achieve both electronic and physiological disruption. The weapon reportedly induced a **"soft kill"** on military hardware by frying circuits and jamming signals, while simultaneously causing **nausea, vertigo, and nosebleeds** in human targets through the **microwave auditory (Frey) effect**.

**Status and Speculation**
While President Trump confirmed its use, he noted he was **"not allowed to talk about it,"** leaving specific technical details unverified and classified. Experts speculate the term may refer to a combination of existing **electronic warfare tools**, **acoustic weapons**, or a new **pulsed-energy system**, rather than a single officially named platform.

15 The thing is, I once knew someone who died, more or less, from "The Havana Syndrome" or whatever prototypes preceeded it, that used to be sort of common knowledge, and it bugs me every time they say it didn't exist.

16 Back in the 70's high tech was a felt tip pen soaked in DMSO and curare. Sit behind someone on a plane and simply draw it across the back of their neck. Colorless of course. Simulates a heart attack.
