It doesn't seem there would be any good defense against this.
The only conceptual defence against such a weapon would have to be some kind of force-field.
Especially when you consider this is a Generation One product.
Scaling the system up in terms of Projectile Speed, Cycle Times, etc would only be a matter of engineering.
We just pour water into cattle and nothing wet ever comes out. Instead, all the water is converted directly into meat.
Bullshit!
Seriously, bull (or cow) shit is not dry and dusty when it's fresh.
That sounds rather farfetched. Terrorists blowing up a Malaysian plane traveling to China because the US and/or Israel are killing Iranian scientists? Seriously? In case you haven't heard, China has been having a bit of a terrorism problem of its own lately, which makes a lot more sense.
Given the current political climate, I'd be more inclined to believe something along the lines of:
US Governmental Secret Agencies Destroy Malaysian Flight attempting to show that NOWHERE IN THE WORLD is safe from Terrorist Homosexual Paedophile Cannabis-users who hoard Files Released by Snowden.
Your link was the first thing through my mind.
And as a result you were rushed to hospital as a result of your injuries?

There is ample evidence that cyclophosphamide can cure cancer
You, sir, are AN IDIOT.
Cyclophosphamide doesn't CURE anything, period.
However it has been known to put a variety of diseases into remission.
For the record - I speak from personal experience.
Treatment with cyclophosphamide might increase your chances of living in the short-term , while increasing your risk of an early death in the future.
And here was I thinking that people on slashdot would know that (to date) the only thing that 'cures' you of cancer (and, I might add, a variety of other spectacularly nasty diseases) is death.
