Reading the below made me go blue. May be all the weapons worked on me though not triggered. Or just reading such things would generate confusing electromagnetic charge in my mind and I start to see all of it. Jokes apart, these technologies below may seem new, but I believe they were present in much advanced states in the past.
From what I have heard from my granny and mom as stories of strange energies …. Some epical stories ….. I infer such science exists. I hear about sages being able to do something unnatural, strange phenomenon happening at around temples believed to be acts of the divine. Some other powers attainable only with penance, Somethings to be done and something not to be done….. May be there is a lot of science behind it. Making someone a zombie was supposed to be a “sapam” (a punishment given by a sage or a highly devotional person who acquired super natural powers) and now it boils down to be a play of the science literate. Who knows? Someday someone can master an art to tune our vocal cords to produce the waves of desired frequency …. And then there could be a war with no weapons but just human spells! Some believe this form of science exists again tied to devotion and is called “mantra Shakti”.
Speech-suppressing gun
When the human brain hears its own speech perfectly in sync during normal speech, it easily processes the input and allows you to largely ignore the sound of your own voice. However, by offsetting the response just a bit, the brain hears your mouth speaking as well as the strange echo effect produced by the gun. This unusual combination is confusing enough to effectively shut down the part of your brain responsible for managing speech, and you fall immediately silent.
Pain ray
Excruciating pain can be experiences by emitting high-powered waves similar to those from a microwave oven. Developed by the Pentagon, the system is composed of huge, vehicle-mounted plates. It was deployed to Afghanistan in June 2010 and pulled back just a month later without having been used.
Mind-control gun
A gun to put people in a zombie-like state! May be for a short while or so we hope... Russia's mind-control gun attacks a target's central nervous system with electromagnetic radiation and is designed to be used for crowd control. While the government's keeping mum about the details, previous studies about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the brain reveal that one of its possible effects is implanting thoughts and suggestions into a target's mind. At least the Russian government was able to successfully test its zombie gun on real people.
Self-guided bullet
A new kind of bullet that could turn anyone into a sharpshooter in a heartbeat. The four-inch projectile has small fins on its tails similar to a dart that can steer it straight toward the target. As long as you shine a laser beam to what you want to hit, the sensor on the bullet's nose can follow it, even in the midst of strong winds and even if the target is up to a mile away.

Some believe this form of science exists again tied to devotion and is called “mantra Shakti”. The gun operates based on the concept of delayed auditory feedback. An attached microphone picks up the sound being made by the target and plays it back 0.2 seconds later. The effect is incredibly confusing to the human brain, making it all but impossible to talk or hold a conversation. The device doesn't cause the person it's being used on any physical harm — it simply messes with their head.

A weapon that uses radio frequency (RF) to affect a person's sense of hearing and equilibrium. Anyone hit by these waves (which, by the way, can pass through walls) is expected to throw up and experience severe motion sickness effects. It's a fancy flashlight that emits rapid pulse of different-colored lights to induce headache and dizziness, with vomiting as one of the possible aftereffects.

It's unclear whether the military's plans to develop a rifle version of the system ever panned out. However, a smaller version of the pain ray called Silent Guardian was developed by defense technology company Raytheon and is currently available for use by law enforcement agencies.
While the ADS reportedly never saw action in the battlefield, it went through 10,000 trial exposures involving real people. The test subjects reported feeling like they were on fire a few seconds after being targeted, but the agonizing pain vanished as soon as they stepped out of the beam's way. The weapon was only designed to inflict pain and not actually burn anything, but around 0.1% of the test subjects reported blisters caused by second-degree burns. Double ouch!
