Vortex Weapons

Vortex Weapons
   These weapons use an explosive charge to create and fire a doughnut shaped shock wave which travels at several hundred miles per hour, and spins at Mach 1 or faster. The weapon could also fire a vortex ring filled with gases or chemical agents. The power of these vehicle mounted or hand carried weapons could knock down a person, or an aircraft.
