If you want mist, you'll need to deposit lots of kinetic energy in the body. That means you don't want the bullet to exit at great speed: It should give away almost all its kinetic energy while travelling through the body. You might want to look into fragmenting bullets.

Wouldn't the subsequent shotgun of tungsten balls do that exactly?
They'd be traveling just under mussel velocity since they don't have to travel through flesh, just a giant hole in the body

Why the addorable clams?

[Sirus]

Probably because of this:

We've all been hit with autocorrect being stupid.

Meta-mirror reflects only a single wavelength of light.

I can't think of any immediately practical uses for it, but it's still pretty cool.

Here's the Physical Review Letters article, for those who understand this kind of thing.

Well if you could make it reflect a specific portion of the spectrum and let the rest through, this would be great for damping down the goddamn sun glare on my morning commute

I'm pretty sure that already exists and is called "toned glass".

If you could make it to block very short wavelengths(probably can't due to copper wires), you could secure your wifi physically, by making all your windows out it. You'd probably need it in your walls too, in some cases.

[Helgoland]

Sounds like you want a Faraday cage - that's fairly low-tech, and I donn't think equipping such a thing with windows is all too daunting a challenge.

[Jopax]

You'd need a pretty dense mesh for that tho, so I guess you could have it double as a mosquito net or something too.

Tho why you'd want to restrict your wi-fi with so many poor students in the world is beyond me

[Tylui]

I s'pose you're right... What's the advantage of this thing then? Precise wavelength reflection for satellite/radio dishes I guess?

NINJA: I'm betting lots of government-related buildings would need to secure their wifi.
