I think the fundamental point he is trying to make is that literally draining hit points from an enemy is not the way of the Blood Raiders, instead Mina is reinforcing their role as Raiders which is exactly what they are.
Raiders are more or less the extreme extension and perversion of the Amarrian battle doctrine of draining their enemy's will to fight. That being said they say the Sani Sabik are forerunners in medical technologies rather than I suppose engineering as would require of this weapon.
It's been asked for often for an Amarrian grenade and often times presented as either a stamina drain or a flash bang. Perhaps if you wanted some Blood Raider Tech it could be justified as a modified variation of the existing Imperial Grenades that inflict stamina damage in addition to disorientation as the breaching weapons typical of Blood Raider boarding parties.

I very much appreciate your effort to calm the discussion, True. The idea of the stamina-stun-grenade is well known to me and I hope it will see some form of implementation. The cap-sucker I described did not necessarily need to drain armor, as shield draining is better justifiable due to it being directly energy-powered. Sprint-Cap/Stamina drain would have been a way too, but looked too boring as a fun tool. And Iam talking fun tools here. I never intended them to make their way into the game exactly as I descibed above, which is why I ask people to contribute their ideas, the more the merrier. My gripes is with people trying to aggressively kill off threads and discussions right from the beginning, this is no healthy way to communicate. This forum is not a place to compete, but to exchange and share ideas.
It is a result, in this case I suppose, of passionate individuals wanting to preserve sparse bits of lore that Dust actually contains to some degree of authenticity. It's a double edged sword looking back in hind sight, prevents any real progress and only serves to get players who don't care to be pissed off with those who do.
In regards to the underlined section....you are young you do not know the shadowy dealings of the forum warriors as we plot and scheme to gain possession of and power over your souls.
But I have said enough.......

You will forget all of this.
