Note that the U.S. Army has scheduled a shoot-off between three competing
designs for a new tank gun. All three are electric - that is, they use
electrical energy to accelerate an outgoing round.

If you want to get into the right frame of mind, then start reading magazines
that have glossy ads for cluster bombs. (No, I don't mean Aviation Week.)
Also, the architects of modern police stations have a worked-out theory
(windows above head level, to eliminate sniping - etc.). So, these architects
must have published in some forum. Find it !

However, criminals are mainly pretty stupid, and do advanced things by finding
suckers/consultants/partners. International corporations (and Toshiba) are
much more dangerous.
