The real SLAM.

[engineer]

SLAM is an Acronym for "Selectable Light-weight Attack Munition" (which is used in HL2DM). It is essentially an advanced and "safer" Land Mine. They are real, and are used by the U.S Army.

Seriously, nice info on the SLAM.

In Deus Ex you got LAM's, Valve should have capitalised it so people wonder why it's called a 'slam' rather than a SLAM.

 

[Tupper]

It is also a missile.

if my friend knew the SLAM wasn't a radio, he would still be alive today.

My MP3 player had the same effect when I transferred 'Crazy Frog' to it

It's a new twist on the 'free ipod' deal.

that's a shaped explosive charge.

Good info, but I'm sure that the SLAM the army uses doesn't emmit a bright red laser beam!! I mean the SLAM is awesome, but if infrared is good enough for the army, then it's good enough for HL2!! I just get a kick out of how many people think they can somehow deceive the laser beam.. i mean.. I know the update was just released the other day, but it should be reflex by now: if you see a red laser beam in front of you.. DONT WALK THROUGH IT!!! ahah

It would be funny if it did play music. Someone hears the music, comes to where it is, takes it with him, and BOOM! Or some soldiers want to listen to the music and accidently press the wrong button. Boom!

 

[Funky Munky]

Didn't know that.
