That would be extremely painful death. As was mentioned, what will happen if it gets into the hands of criminals? I can see the advantages but yet there's a lot of questions as to how this actually works. Interesting.

They said heat the water in your body, not boil it. If you put meat in a pot of boiling water, it will cook. If you put it in ~60 degree (celcius) water, it'll just get hot. Imagine putting your hand in hot water- say just warmer than most hot tubs. Until you are acclimatized to the heat, it is very painful to keep your hand in there. The microwave guns work on the same principle. It's like you just jumped into a really really hot hot tub. No damage, just a lot of pain.
