How about none? The gun nuts down here in florida already scare me with their regular stuff, the last thing they need is military grade.

I love you all so don't take this the wrong way... ...but there are a lot of folks that I've seen running around these forums that I don't want to be able to get their hands on string and duct tape, let alone military tech.

I would like the military to research and develop a salsa gun, and THEN unleash it unto the general populus. I'd liked to be mugged by a man with a salsa gun, and I don't mean that in a sexual way.

Wow you guys, try being a little more open minded. "Military Technology" doesn't just mean "Weapons."

I would have to go with this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanned-beam_display

Obviously, it isn't perfected yet, but it seems like it could have some really cool applications.

This isn't a military technology (yet), it's highly experimental but it's cooler and more applicable IMO:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_contact_lens

It's a similar idea.

Sorry, I can't link for some reason

When I'm in the movies, and someone is talking on their phone, I want a button I can press that will make their phone emit a high pitched noise into their ear.

I want an anti-graphiti paint, when spray paint touches it, it lights the spray-paint on fire.

I want a coating for jack-o-lanterns, that gives anyone the flu if they pick it up to smash it.

None, actually. Latest military technology is what gives our soldiers and some police units the edge.

Just a V-22 Osprey, without the weapons I suppose. It would be quite convenient to not have to worry about traffic and go where ever I want very quickly.

I'd like 99 landmines, and an experimental new minesweeper that detects mines perfectly, but only hints as to how many there are around you instead of where they actually are.

Great for parties :P
