This is basically a HERF gun, not an EMP. They're similar, but HERF guns are less brute force. EMPs destroy electronics. HERF gun just add so much electrical noise that micro electronics just get confused and stop working, often not doing permanent damage tot he electronics.

Retired Marine here. If i remember correctly the Pentigon was working on directed energy weapons for field deployment in the 2000. The term was Active Denial System using microwaves to make the enemies skin crawl painfully. In 2010 it was deployed to Afganistan but did not see combat for what ever reason. I am sure the Pentigon is working on or has already developed systems based on this to defeat drones and drone swarms. I don't see it being to hard to setup one of these to sweap the frequency and disrupt drones, and everything else in its path. Just a thought.
I actually remember this one. So, it was made to be a less than lethal option for dispersing crowds, and with people that were ambulatory it worked quite well. Seriously, Marines would only be able to stay in the beam for a few seconds even with pride on the line, because it made you feel like you were actively about to catch fire. Problem: if for whatever reason a person or animal is unable to move of their own accord out of the beam, it actively cooks them in something like a minute. They found that one out by accidentally cooking a snake. Could you understand why they found this to be maybe not a great idea if used on crowds already known for doing things like accidentally knocking out or trampling other rioters?
Rf waves in the proper amplitude will shut down computers. Basically, it is an EMP. It is a cb radio, a pie plate, some cable, and an amplifier. With the proper adjustments. It can be used to target something as small as a watch. Or as large as a tractior trailer. Easy as pie. The longer you keep it targeted and the greater the amplification. The longer the range and mor permanently it is disabled. Short low bust. Drone hits the ground. Long hi powerd. Melts the solder off the boards.

My dad worked in system designs for the government between the 70s and the early 2000s. He was working on a project like this in the early 2000s. It was supposed to be like a cannon that pointed sound waves at anything with computers (like tanks and other vehicles) and disabled it. He was one of the original workers on the tomahawk system and one that was trying to work on the kinks on the drone system. He was working on designs that were non-lethal and less-casualties. He didn't tell me all of this. He got awards for the drone stuff but his co-worker told me about his use of sound waves. He had to retire in the 2000s because he progressively lost the use of his arms and legs because of chemicals he encountered in Desert Storm. I'm glad some of his projects still live on. And it sounds like they are helping save lives.

Um, minor historical correction here, but General Douglas MacArthur was ordered to evacuate from the Philippines during World War II by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself. Hence his famous quote of, "I shall return". If I'm paraphrasing correctly, but you get the point. So technically as much of a pompous arse Douglas MacArthur was, he didn't flee like a coward, he was ordered to retreat president himself. What can anyone expect him to do in that circumstance? Say "no" to the president, and thereby get killed and/or captured by the barbaric Imperial Japanese? 😅
Well, he was later ordered by the president to not attack any further during the Korean War but did it anyways. So I guess orders are OK to fall back on but not when personal glory is up for grabs? Just paraphrasing the Fat Electrion on this.
I love the part about Franklin booping the maintenance crew when they come into the hangar. My dog does that to me when I’m trying to change when I get home from work.
@@VKiera LOL! Indeed. Of course, there was always tension between MacArthur and Truman. Something I would need to study up on since I am not clear on the details as to why those two hated each other so much.
Patton actually supported invading the USSR. As I recollect he wanted to rearm the Germans and take them with the 3rd Army into the USSR. Assuming you believe Patton was actually assassinated as opposed to dying in an actual accident, there's suspicion that his desire to invade the USSR is the primary reason behind it.
0:54 Depending on who you ask, MacArthur was forced, by the Department of War, to leave Baton. Apparently he actually wanted to stay and continue the fight. Which is why he told those who could hear him to not give up hope and that he would be back. The reason he was forced to leave is apparently because the Generals in the DoW thought it would be too big a blow to morale for a General to be captured and likely tortured/executed by the Japanese or something. Or maybe MacArthur was so popular that his death/capture would tank morale. Either way, it had to do with morale and the DoW feeling that MacArthur's survival was crucial.
“What have you been working on America?” Obviously the same radio system as you seeing as how we have tons of drone sightings near our military installations too lol…. 5 👁️’s!!!

3:06 ok, it's all that, but if it doesn't make a sound when it "fires", then practical American experience suggests it needs to make a noise so people will know they were attacked and take cover.
Coal, while an indicator of being on the naughty list, feels like another gesture of goodwill to me. Considering the time Santa came into being, coal was an excellent way to keep warm for long periods of time during winter.
Just like he was ordered not to attack North Korea but he did anyway . So why listen to an order when it saves you, but not listen when it might get you glory
The british had a great taste in naming their military equipment for centuries. Useful or not an "HMS" with a mythological name or a strong word/action is just plain awesome.
I know these you've got to be hard and time consuming to make but we need a whole movie out of this like an hour and something long I'd watch it twice😂
In defense of McArthur he was ordered by the president to evacuate and leave his troops behind as the navy didn't have the resources at the time to evacuate everyone. If McArthur was captured it would of put a dent in the pacific campaign for the Americans since McArthur was top dog in the pacific theater for the army with Nimitz top dog in the navy.
Meh, the biggest dent would have been on the home front since he was so well known there. The US had plenty of moderately competent generals who could have managed the SW Pacific area - and definitely would have cooperated with the navy better.

Poor grandpa Buff. Stay grumpy. Lol ❤😂
11:22 something tells me THATS A RAT FROM THE NY SUBWAY... wonderful. If russia wanta a demo derby that mouse is gonna be op
I thought it he was from Chicago
Micro, laser, radio ... bands on the same spectrum. You should be the one to love a weaponized radar dish.
A microwave weapon can easily be countered by wrapping your drone in a tortilla
You say "grumpy bastard" like it's a bad thing. I've earned that status sir, and it's glorious!😂
Knuckle dragger was absolutely UNHINGED!!!
Hey Buff never change a thing. We love you just the way you are!!
I really hate that I love Monologuing planes and jets this much I can honestly say I never saw this coming keep it up bro.
Being a Marine, there is no love lost for MacArthur…but he was ordered to leave Bataan. He didn’t “run away”
Thats what our histories told us about macarthur. His pr is so good many people here in our country still believed he's the one who saved our country from the japanese when he just escaped to Australia and failed to defend our country.
MacArthur was ordered out of Baatan by President Roosevelt.
"Phaser sounds from like Star Wars" 2 seperate movies in the question. LOL!!!!!
Came to the comments to see if anybody else noticed the combined Star Trek/Star Wars line. Hilarious and triggering! Well done HLC
@brianblank9921 that was a good move. It reminds me how some get worked up when people say Gandalf is from LoTR when he is from Harry Potter like we all know.
@@stewm1267 Uhm, Achtually, Gandalf is from Narnia sir! Thank you very much!
Buff has pushed Santa to a new level. His New Year's Resolution should be to become so bad that even Santa has no idea what to do with him. The real Boeing didn't build no quitter!!
We love you hlc mikrOwaaaveeee one of the funniest things I've heard all week😂 I'm going to come back and watch the entire video again and clip more content because this is just too good already😂
3:39 if it wasn’t midnight I’d be rolling because that was so funny
We need an adventures of young BUFF series.
As a former PC sailor in the Navy... naming miltary equipment after storms definitely adds a badass factor and morale points for the crew... PC-2 USS Tempest, PC-5 USS Typhoon, PC-3 USS Hurricane...
I rest my case
Best comedy show on UA-cam!🎉
The line about what the winner gets to do about took me out. Lmao.
Grandpa buff is bout to glass the North Pole 😂
Oh ya gotta love that crotchety old so-and-so, Never Change, Grandpa Buff...😅😅😅
Love these videos! Thanks so much.
UK: what you looking at getting done in the holidays US?.
US: Well, erm Canada, Greenland and Panama
UK: THE FUCK??!!
Wishing you, Mrs HLC and all the family have a wonderful holiday time.
Thanks!
0:40 Patton: Am I a joke to you?
That quote isn't real
Yes, yes he was
@@markhirsch6301 Relax, it was a joke. He wasn’t particularly a fan of Russia and I think part of it had to do with his conversation with Lt.General Bishop Gowlina of the Polish Army. Gowlina did tell him some unfavorable stories about their methods. More information is available at the Library of Congress and is specifically found in his diary.
There was a reason he was murdered
No, no, Patton was Africa. Eisenhower was Europe.
I think Santa is just jealous of Buff's payload capacity and doesn't have one for himself yet 🤣
"I got a sweet pair of nunchucks hu hu" got me 🤣 🤣 🤣
Michelangelo, still by far my favorite TMNT.
Buff’s the man!!!! To piss Santa off like that puts him a notch above me. Your #1 Buff……I came in on a close second cause my stocking smelled like cat pee this year…….and that’s funny cause I caught Santa actually filling my stocking up personally!!! Cat Pee who would’ve thought.🤷🏻♂️🤣😂
HMS Vengeance replaced HMS Revenge.
I'm waiting for HMS FAFO to replace Vengeance when the time comes.
HMS Revengence when
The British have always had some badass ship names. Renown, repulse, warspite, indefatigable, the only thing we've had close to that was intrepid.
@@cavalierliberty6838 Some cool ones are coming up! There’s a Constellation coming, another Tang, Fallujah, and as far as people names that make good ship names too I think Sojourner Truth is absolutely top tier. Ones named for astronauts are great too!
And extent ones can be good too, they’re just usually not the big ships we think of. Stuff like Victorious, Mercy, Comfort, Sentinel, Arrowhead, Arctic, Atlantis, Zeus, Olympus, Gladiator, Valiant, Deception, Loyal, Effective and Impeccable. Spearhead, Pioneer and Pathfinder.
There’s good old classics like Wasp, Constitution (technically), Enterprise and Seawolf! Reserve ships are killing it, Pollux, Anzio, Invincible, Resolute, Antares, Safeguard, Bellatrix, Gem State, Cape Wrath, Cape Victory, etc.
But Warspite is my most beloved ship ever so I’m biased
That would be sweet! 😂😂😂
@@cavalierliberty6838 We got the name _Intrepid_ because they had it and we liked it.
That “WHY DO THINK IM TRYING TO GET MY HANDS ON IT KID???” Was so fucking. Funny 😂
If Grandpa Buff stopped being grumpy, his valves would explode!!
I ❤ Grumpa Buff!!
Why is this so entertaining I want animation, keep up the great work and let the kid out
Whatcha doin' UK?
Today?... I'm boxing! 🥊🥊
...and trying to unbox the cat!
2:55 He said, "Does it at least make phaser sounds from Star Wars! 😂😂😂
Um, minor historical correction here, but General Douglas MacArthur was ordered to evacuate from the Philippines during World War II by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself. Hence his famous quote of, "I shall return". If I'm paraphrasing correctly, but you get the point. So technically as much of a pompous arse Douglas MacArthur was, he didn't flee like a coward, he was ordered to retreat president himself. What can anyone expect him to do in that circumstance? Say "no" to the president, and thereby get killed and/or captured by the barbaric Imperial Japanese? 😅
Well, he was later ordered by the president to not attack any further during the Korean War but did it anyways. So I guess orders are OK to fall back on but not when personal glory is up for grabs? Just paraphrasing the Fat Electrion on this.
@VKiera That and it was Truman, not FDR. Pretty sure he never liked the Truman administration.
I love the part about Franklin booping the maintenance crew when they come into the hangar. My dog does that to me when I’m trying to change when I get home from work.
@@VKiera
LOL! Indeed. Of course, there was always tension between MacArthur and Truman. Something I would need to study up on since I am not clear on the details as to why those two hated each other so much.
@VKiera love TFE and his style of telling a story.
Patton actually supported invading the USSR. As I recollect he wanted to rearm the Germans and take them with the 3rd Army into the USSR. Assuming you believe Patton was actually assassinated as opposed to dying in an actual accident, there's suspicion that his desire to invade the USSR is the primary reason behind it.
0:54 Depending on who you ask, MacArthur was forced, by the Department of War, to leave Baton. Apparently he actually wanted to stay and continue the fight. Which is why he told those who could hear him to not give up hope and that he would be back.
The reason he was forced to leave is apparently because the Generals in the DoW thought it would be too big a blow to morale for a General to be captured and likely tortured/executed by the Japanese or something. Or maybe MacArthur was so popular that his death/capture would tank morale. Either way, it had to do with morale and the DoW feeling that MacArthur's survival was crucial.
I expected Franklin to get a stocking full of chicken nuggies. But I'll bet he doesn't mind the cat fight rather than the nuggies. 😂
Merry Christmas.
Or Merry Crispness.
The Buff don't Bluff.
“What have you been working on America?” Obviously the same radio system as you seeing as how we have tons of drone sightings near our military installations too lol…. 5 👁️’s!!!
7:02 the kid's so innocent 😂 he's gonna learn the hard way isn't he.
So that's what I get to expect in my stocking when I hit 70, thanks for the heads up buff
I mean, we could pretty easily add phazer and/or turbolazer sounds and light effects to the microwave cannon thing.
Except it was already done by the US 20+ years ago.
I nearly choked on my dinner when Buff told his story about santa shi77ing in his stocking 😂
3:49 yes.
My grandfathers were Marines in Vietnam. I've been trained for this!
My dad was a redneck a force recon marine in nam and trucker ill learn ya some phrases you didnt know existed. No bullshit the first real friend i had and brought home pops imediatly looked at him and said if you fuck around ill pop your eyeball out and fuck you in the socket we were 12 good times
Don't ever change Buff... 🤣
3:06 ok, it's all that, but if it doesn't make a sound when it "fires", then practical American experience suggests it needs to make a noise so people will know they were attacked and take cover.
Or so Americans don't stick there head in front of it wondering is this thing even on
Literally no one can define what a swarm is. From tactical up to strat level. I squirm everytime i hear swarm.
"Lots"
4:08 you’ve never successfully repelled anything but women on dates
Damn😂😂
Dear lord this dude has just described most of twitter and its propaganda accounts
Coal, while an indicator of being on the naughty list, feels like another gesture of goodwill to me. Considering the time Santa came into being, coal was an excellent way to keep warm for long periods of time during winter.
5:27 Based Franklin
I swear I broke ribs from laughing at Franklin's gift....he got hands😂😂
Everyone forgets that Macarthur was ordered off Bataan by the president.
Just like he was ordered not to attack North Korea but he did anyway . So why listen to an order when it saves you, but not listen when it might get you glory
Because the US isn't gonna lose a 4-star general in the first 72 hours of a war...
The british had a great taste in naming their military equipment for centuries. Useful or not an "HMS" with a mythological name or a strong word/action is just plain awesome.
Jihad Jimmy had me dying 🤣🤣
I know these you've got to be hard and time consuming to make but we need a whole movie out of this like an hour and something long I'd watch it twice😂
In defense of McArthur he was ordered by the president to evacuate and leave his troops behind as the navy didn't have the resources at the time to evacuate everyone. If McArthur was captured it would of put a dent in the pacific campaign for the Americans since McArthur was top dog in the pacific theater for the army with Nimitz top dog in the navy.
But then he kept attacking in Korea despite the President telling him to stop….
Meh, the biggest dent would have been on the home front since he was so well known there. The US had plenty of moderately competent generals who could have managed the SW Pacific area - and definitely would have cooperated with the navy better.
Lets be honest , the Brits have some damn fine engineers , and know how to use them .
