I can see your point about devoting technology to killing people, but the reality of life is people will threaten our interests, and we have to defend those interests. As the way wars are fought changes, this weapon meets a real need in modern urban warfare better than any other weapon. It is a "technology to kill or hurt people", but I've seen enough of the World (in person, not just what's shown on TV) to know that sometimes you have to hurt people to protect others.
