Cancer Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Re: Commandos Field Test ‘Plasma Scalpel’ Though not the plasma-blade variety, there's a discussion (including a sample build and suggestions for modifications) here. My favorite is to make it Bulky, add a 5-shot magazine, and give it Autofire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paladin.oa Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Re: Commandos Field Test ‘Plasma Scalpel’ http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/10/commandos-field-test-plasma-knife/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/15/socom_plasma_blades/ Uses a "blade" of glowing ions to surgically cut tissue. This has been used in hospitals, but this new version is for field use. That's frackin sweet! Almost like a Star Trekkian laser scalpel. I want one. Wonder how it cuts other materials like wood or steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of home use where you could effortlessly and safely cut metal tubing and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
