Anthroform upgrades
Following research into nonlethal weapons, in accordance with the peace treaty, I have conducted investigations into the effects of sound on the human physiology. This was initially noticed after complaints from the laboratory technicians as regards the volume of my audio system.
Deeper research located historical reference to sonic devices being used for urban pacification. So, instead of developing the device from scratch, which would be inefficient, I merely reverse engineered and upgraded the mechanism to suit.
The Curdler Unit, as it is known, is simply an audio generator which produces two discrete frequencies of sound at 120dB, namely 16000Hz and 16002Hz. Constructive and destructive interference patterns produce beats at 2Hz and 32002Hz. These produce physiological effects such as respiratory difficulty, nausea, oscillation of the eyeball, balance difficulties and suchlike. As the amplitude, that is, the volume, increases, so does the severity of the effect.
Also, it has been found that the human eardrum ruptures at amplitudes in excess of 160dB.
All these options have been implimented in the Curdler-II, nicknamed the Banshee. It is capable of producing sounds of a sustained 172dB without undue damage to the anthroform once structural dampers were in place.
It also doubles as an *Evil* boombox!
Indirect-fire projectile launchers have been added , as well as additional modular armour sections. An arm mounted barrier shield(akin to the medieval body shield) has also been fashioned, and has been structurally tested to resist in excess of 30mm cannon shells, being of titanium-polymer composites found on gunships during the Machine War.
