Aim for the legs … wounding combatants takes out the wounded person and whoever is going to help them. One leg removes two or three people from the event.
It’s the same logic behind grenades … they are designed to wound and maim, not kill.
Unreasonable to use microwaves as weapons against people, but they could be used to disable cop cars, radios, and any other piece of electric they might rely on.
What about a sword? If someone hypothetically tried to stab a wakizashi through the body armor, would it punch through? It’s always been my understanding that “bulletproof” armor functioned by dispersing the force of the bullet, but is it designed to do the same for bladed weapons?
Not sure about it but aren’t swords like wakizashi, katana and Co not primarily for cutting and slicing?
Cutting is not really effective against body armor.
Probably an old Zweihänder or longsword would be more effective, since they’re made for stabbing.
But again, I could be wrong, misremembered something or both.
Aim for the gut.

You’re assuming these fucks have any empathy and would actually help each other as opposed to mindlessly following their initial orders.
I do not subscribe to that assumption.
Never aim for the legs. They’re too small relative to the torso and they’re constantly moving. Hellish to hit IRL.
Groin area, lots of things down their that don’t like getting shot but will still immobilize you. Also typically just as wide as the torso.

None of those will stop a glass bottle filled with a gasoline/ dish detergent mixture
What about energy weapons? Like laser/microwave/radiation/plasma/anti matter?

Not feasible for regular people to make. Also, a “heat ray” would probably use IR, not Microwaves.
