"Japanese researchers have invented a speech-jamming gadget that painlessly forces people into silence.

Kazutaka Kurihara of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Koji Tsukada of Ochanomizu University, developed a portable "SpeechJammer" gun that can silence people more than 30 meters away.

The device works by recording its target's speech then firing their words back at them with a 0.2-second delay, which affects the brain's cognitive processes and causes speakers to stutter before silencing them completely."


Besides being perfect for any nearby Outposters, this device might make work meetings a little more bearable as well.

It doesn't stop them from making non word sounds or long drawn out sounds. So you could get them back by making the most annoying sound in the world like in "Dumb and Dumber".
