Not Hershey's. They are wrapped in aluminum foil, and the microwaves will bounce off and roast some other part of your body.

If you are part of a crowd of protestors, and you know such weapons will be in use, protest signs could be made with aluminum foil cores, to reflect the energy back to the source (or anywhere else for that matter).

Overall, I like the whole concept of non-lethal weapons, though I think sonic/ultrasonic devices would be more effective.

Regarding the Brown Noise, there evidently is such a frequency. Nicola Tesla used a vibrating platform in one of his experiments that apparently oscillated at a frequency which triggered urgent bowel movements. Probably a bad idea for crown control, unless you have a really crazy sense of humor.

I am amazed that there has not been much "sound gun" development. Using nothing but hollow tubes of various length and diameter (in proportion to the length of the sound wave you are projecting), and industrial strength speaker cones, you could do a LOT of damage.

Years ago, a former coworker told me of Army sound gun experiments he participated in at White Sands proving ground during the 1950's. In one, they blasted a reinforced concrete wall, which was pulverized, and then tested the device on a cow and a dog, both of which flew apart "like jigsaw puzzles" he claimed. All this from a short burst from a hollow tube the size of a firehose.

The downside was that the operators and observers had to remain in a shielded bunker, as you could not get near the device when it was operating.
