Gee, idk, maybe because of the police state we live in?
Military industrial complex my friend - military contracts are corrupt and are largely awarded on the basis of lobbying and old boys networks. The exception is things that are high tech that the military industrial complex can't do well, like DARPA contract awards but you'd need a few PhDs or lots of specialized experience to be able to have the wherewithall to bid for those
Like Black Water?
Why don't we have lasers that can shoot down flies in your home?
it can blind people
i dont know why we dont have tiny pneumatic salt cannons that fire tiny pellets and just wreck flies though.
We do, but it's too expensive and elaborate to bother with mass manufacture
The government is actually legally obligated to give a certain percentage of their contracts to small time businesses.
This has resulted in some fuckery in the past, because most smallfry simply do not have the capital to fill most contracts. There's a pretty amusing movie (War Dogs) about a couple of guys that ran a company called AEI that filled weapon contracts for the US military. What the movie leaves out though is that AEI actually failed to fill a bunch of contracts in addition to using illegal means to fill other contracts.
You could make it so that they only fire if they have landed on a flat surface of one color.
We have bug zappers that attract the flies to them and then kill them. In addition to being simpler and cheaper, this scheme also puts all the dead bugs in one place.
That was a crane fly. They eat mosquitoes. Good going.
No that's a close-up of a mosquito. I remember reading something in make magazine about a device that kills *only* mosquitoes with lasers by detecting the frequency of the whine any nearby bug gives off. This was a DIY project too, and years ago.
I see. Impressive. I'm still more inclined to use something that attracts the mosquitoes to it, because then the dead bugs all collect in one place.
bot
The only reason is because it's illegal.
I personally would be selling $20 plastic handguns and airdropping them over Europe, but the fuckers in charge will drone me if I do.
Badminton is popular outside the US
Not gonna work
the plan isn't to have it zap everywhere, only the perimeter of what you want mosquito-free
War isn't mainstream anymore.
They will start to learn to not going to that perimeter.
At my room, I once start killing the flies once they go near my desk (I have that Electric flyswatter) and over the period of a month, they start to learn to not go near my desk, but the door area which the opposite direction.
>mosquitoes learn to completely avoid your house because it's encapsulated by a mosquito killing laser defense system
What is the issue again?
There's one. It's called ISIS/DAESH
But it doesn't go that way, they hide IN your house (or room as what they did to me) and bother you when you're not paying attention, pic related
"no"
just get a uv zapper, or a raid mosquito killing evaporator
personal defense is illegal outside the us and in the us you have guns so what is there to create kek
>people will say this post isnt Indian.
>a crane fly. They eat mosquitoes
wrong
>tiny pneumatic salt cannons
i'm ready for this tech
What is with the copper washers, is it a shaped charge?
