You Can't Make This Up - 6
by J.R. Absher
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Board has moved to prohibit deer hunters from using firearms that haven’t even been invented yet. We don’t make this stuff up. In fact, we couldn’t if we tried. Acting upon a recommendation from the Wisconsin Conservation Congress—a panel of hunters, shooters and their peers that annually meet to advise the DNR—the Board passed a measure that officially defines what constitutes a legal hunting firearm in the state. In their crystal-ball, future-vision wisdom, the attendees at this year’s Conservation Congress confab concluded that the present DNR firearms regulations were so murky and unclear, it was totally conceivable that a Wisconsin whitetail hunter could head to the woods armed with “untested technology such as electromagnetic weapons.” Hold the phaser gun and pass the molecular transformer, Captain Kirk! As a result, the DNR Board officially ruled this week that only traditional gunpowder rifles, pistols and airguns that are fired from the shoulder may be used by hunters. Thanks goodness. Wisconsin sportsmen—and critters—can rest easy. As for the existence of electromagnetic arms, it has been rumored for some time that the Pentagon has experimented and tested such weaponry, but little is known about the technology outside of the military. Even so, it’s doubtful whether it’s ready for use in treestands and groundblinds. Not just yet, anyway.

They have developed them and they are in the "testing" stage at the Army test grounds as we speak.
I doubt you'd want to use one for deer though. They fire in the tens of thousands of rounds a minute.
See the Military Channel/ militarychannel.com, Future weapons to check them out.
Well if I ever hunt in Wisconsin I'll leave my heat seeking .270 rounds at home.LOL
I bet they probably wouldn't believe my phaser rifle uses gunpowder. It was either that or my mini-rail gun, or my micro-nuclear proton gun. So much for hunting in Wisconsin. I never get to have any fun anymore.
wow that's ridiculous lol
So I guess because it's not shoulder fired. I guess the mini-gun Jesse(The Body)Ventura used in "Predator" is out huh?(LOL).
Beem me up SCOTTY!!!!!!
