Sonic Weapons from LASD and the KLF

The LA Sherrifs department last week tested a 15,000 watt sound weapon (they're calling it a "magnetic acoustic device"). In the mid 1990s, The KLF built themselves a 25,000 watt sonic weapon, which they constructed on the back of a Saracen armoured vehicle. It could transmit sound for 7 miles, while the LASD can only manage one mile.


Comments:
if they were using it to find the mystical 'brown note' - the discovery channel's "mythbusters" have already proven that it doesn't work terribly well - under 'civilian' conditions.

i seem to remember however, that the KLF's sonic device caused much upset to some cows and the device was later confiscated by the MOD...or was that an urban legend?
 
Youth and rock-n-roll will default the LAPD and their so-called weapon any day. Just turn up the amps! user0@pclabstest.com
