    That's what I figured, I just thought it was interesting how the advertisement of FUTURE WEAPONS has changed. I'd like to see how well a modern equivalent would go over in popular science today

    I can see someone not liking that. I think it's pretty much entirely horseshit. I read a pretty good article about bacteriaphage treatments, but it was sandwhiched between giant stories on time travel experiments that involve people on trampolines and such.

    There aren't a lot of popular magazines about that don't contain some articles composed mainly of conjecture?

    The raygun will only be invented after we have developed full body armor capable of stopping any bullet.

    They do stories on new weapons all the time. It's just nowadays when you vaporize two hundred people at a wedding, you totally didn't mean it and really, they were all standing around looking suspiciously brown at the time.

    Because rayguns are for the gays, and if we let them arm themselves, they will just force their pinko liberal agenda on us all.

    Well you need a power source than can last a real long time, don't have that. I guess the idea is to make an infantryman that is totally small-arms proof, so you need some sort powered exoskeleton that can lift the amount of armour it would take to achieve that, plus all his gear, plus retaining mobility, don't have that. Gotta make it all pretty small or the multi-million dollar infantryman is going to get blowed up by a communist surplus RPG, can't do that.

    I dunno, I guess I just sort of resent the notion that real science is this super dense, boring thing that only intellectuals care about and that the layman is resigned to rubbing his dick on the latest missile system or whatever
