set phasers to stun!
Good grief what a waste of taxpayer dollars.
You want a soldier to decide whether to set his rifle on kill or stun?
Whoever ordered this boondoggle should be canned. (And I would not be surprised if a local Congressman or Senator “suggested” to the Army that they look into this BS “technology”
Again? Both rocket-propelled and non-lethal ammo have been invented over and over again. They never work well.
MBA Gyrojet dial-a-yield ping! (Probably never get to do that again!)
JAG lawyers will have a field day with this if it is adopted.
“Why was your weapon set for kill when you entered that domicile with civilians in there soldier?”
My life and the lives of those arond me are worth too much to play around with "dial a prayer".
Hmmm....I didn’t know that all 1500 fps rounds killed everytime they’re fired?
I thought I’d heard stories about folks just being wounded?
“The officers family will miss him greatly”
Less-than-lethal rounds have a place in both military and law enforcement. The big savings here is that you can easily use both types of rounds through the same weapon, thus eliminating the need to purchase different weapons.
Sorry - if I were on a battlefield, just give me the gun with only the highest setting.
Now I can imagine even more political correctness from our dumb@ss, publicity seeking congresspeople and the MSM
“and in the highly debated raid, it was reported that not all Marines had their guns set to injure-only, which may conflict with Congressionally-established engagement rules and force hearings on the issue....”
“The US Army are interested...”
My 10th grade English teach, Sister Alice, would return this paper for a re-write.
How are you suppose to dial-in your sights when you don’t know how much ‘drop’ your going to get?
Perhaps if we used our military to fight wars instead of police actions we wouldnt need this.
Set Beeber to stune!
One can buy ratshot rounds, or one can buy Hydrashocks.
Now Fund Me. :-)
If I shoot at someone, I don’t want to wound or bruise. I want to kill the sucker and preferably atomize him.
I don’t want to be sued by some dirtbag cripple, for wingin’ him.
The PC Army... “Stop terrorist or I’ll have to tickle you with this bullet.”
Did anyone besides me notice that this is supposed to be powered by hydrogen generated by electrolysis? I mean come on, good luck with that.
