hmm, ever thought of controlling 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_weapon with Pd?

Pd is not reaktor(tm), you can do more than just produce sounds:
you can hook up a coffee machine to your parallel port (or multIO or...) 
and make coffee whenever your webcam-based motiontracker senses a person 
within the room; all the software could be done in Pd. you could also 
connect something more deadly than a coffee machine.

_everything_ can be used in warfare.
