Wonder what laws cover these devices? I've seen (online) a handheld unit using lipoly throwing metal darts, but in the barely-lethal energy range.

I bet they classify them as Destructive Devices, at least. Now they just need to figure out a tiny fusion reactor for power, and build them the size of an AR.

History channel had something about these in space. Makes sense with no oxygen or gas required. Betcha it would travel a HUGE distance.

used it until I could afford to upgrade to an ERPPC.
