Not projectile, radio frequencies. More like a jamming/blocking device than a firearm.

I'm wondering if this class of devices counts as the first man portable directed energy weapon fielded in combat. There have been laser weapons that were ship or shore based. I think even some that have been some experimental plasma weapons that are truck mounted. Through all of this though, no man portable...until now?
