Sonic Cannon

Israel has developed a new non-lethal weapon; the Thunder Cannon. Light enough to be mounted in a cart, it uses a new Pulse Detonation Technology that combines LPG (liquefied natural gas) with air to create a sonic boom in a cannon type barrel. Each burst moves forward at 2,000 meters per second and lasts 300 milliseconds. The cannon generates 60 to 100 bursts per second. One 27 pound (12kg) canister of LPG can create 5,000 bursts. A PDA size control unit does the mixing and detonation. The cannon is effective, at hitting people with these sonic bursts, at ranges of up to fifty meters (152 feet), and eventually double that. At ten meters or less, the burst can cause injury, or even be fatal. Anyone hit by the sonic bursts feels it, and hears it.

The Germans tried to develop a "sonic cannon" during WWII

Looks like the Jews beat them to it!!! Woohoo!

Here's a US conception of the same kind of device:

My grandfather often said if the Germans hadn’t chased off all their Jews, they would rule the world right now.

I think that's about it. There's a reason why, up to about 1930, Germany was the most advanced nation in the world.

Yep Germans and Jewish people are (IMHO) both scientifically very smart, and compliment one another well.

With the Scottish/Irish “can-do” attitude (and persistence), one combines and creates a big part of why the USA is a great economic and scientific power.
