As far as I'm aware, there are no restrictions yet in place
for acoustic weaponry - at least, not on this side of the
atlantic (not counting disturbing the peace!)
I read a review, completely by chance, in some car magazine
about Jimmy's two Saracen APC's and associated sound weaponry.
From what I recall, they were 'only' packing something like
120 dBA but he was working on this. Something to do with the
sound frequency and the pitch of the noise is what causes the
discomfiting effect.
He had sonic weapon mounted on the turret of one of his tanks,
and it really looked mental!
