This is sickening. What is the countermeasure to these?
Edit. The countermeasure, according to an AI model is:
Avoid the direct beam of the LRAD by moving out of its narrow 15-degree coverage angle. Stepping off to the side drastically reduces exposure
Sound-dampening shields or barriers
Range style earmuffs and high-quality earplugs that attenuate sound significantly

- pbmonster 1y agoI remember some engineer doing tests on youtube. TL;DW: * Double-bagging your ears (plugs + shooting range plugs) seems to help a lot. * With a little more effort, you can build a handheld shield. Thin, hard layer on top (like plexiglass), which acts like a reflector, then a standard foam layer and cardboard to dampen whatever makes it through the reflector. Besides that, it's not that much different than a water cannon truck or a phalanx shooting tear gas. Confronting both is a relatively high risk activity, and should be avoided by most protesters.
- Ms-J 1y agoThat is good to know about the engineer doing tests to prove the effectiveness.
- sentinelsignal 1y agoSeems crazy considering the fact that this is capable of deafening someone
