There is no “non lethal” weapon. There are only weapons that are less likely to kill or cripple.
A “non lethal” pellet to the eye can still permanently blind someone, and a blow to the head can kill or cause brain damage.
As long as there are guys with high pain tolerances, I don’t see this as being effective in stopping them. At best, it would be useful in making it easier to identify them, if the paint doesn’t washoff so easily.
The Japanese police use paintballs to make cars more identifiable.
Don’t tell tampon Timmy.
Water cannons. I like water cannons.
The correct term is “less lethal.”
Regardless, on my list.
(think “modified”, “copied”, “multiples” and, most importantly, “LETHAL”)
"Give me a non-lethal automated paintball / nylon bullet / pepper-ball / beanbag gun."
What do you think?
Script Doctor: Not bad but how about this...
"Give me a plasma rifle in the 40 kilowatt range."
Terminator Screenwriter: You're right, that's better.
What about an non automated...gun with paintball/high concentration bear spray/sickening odor marking package...shot at perps who overcome taser...would love to see that used on the out of control drunk Karen’s and Kens, resistant serious traffic offenders, drug dealers, rapists, pedo’s, carjackers and thieves. Once the perps are hand cuffed...Love to see foot shackles.
They need to train cops in wrestling, judo and boxing. Cops trying to engage crazies and drunks and drug addicts with talk seems ridiculous. One “no,I won’t” and one warning from the cop is the most engagement necessary.
Deal with the mental disease, alcoholism and bad attitudes later.
