Homemade Microwave Weapons
The US military is hard at work designing, building, and using directed energy weapons (HERFs -- high energy radio frequency or microwave weapons) for use against micro-electronics and fuel vapor.
Unfortunately,
directed energy weapons
are much more valuable to global guerrillas than nation-state militaries due to the target imbalance between nation-states and non-state foes. The technology needed to build these weapons is generally available and inexpensive (numerous experiments, including this
one
, scroll to bottom, with a converted microwave oven demonstrate this).
Homemade directed energy weapons will eventually become the weapon of choice for global guerrillas intent on infrastructure destruction.
