Looks like the first weapons given in doom, at least is better that bare hand.
Anyways "this non-lethal weapon has never been associated with a death", of course since it's a new products. :3
>since it's a new products
and since I haven't gotten one yet. muwahaha!
"This pistol-like device can reportedly launch 'up to five PAVA filled projectiles at attackers up to 40-feet away,'"
Hmmm... Saving yourself from an attacker that is 40 feet away sounds something like this...

That looks like fun. Is there a matching target vest for gas-tag?
im getting one!!!!
thanks for the FYI
Object in hand with laser sight = bang you're dead. If the "target" does not have a gun and doesn't inhale you're still in very deep shit having just pissed them off.
Great! Now soccer moms can pack PAVA heat who think they are Lara Croft.
Watch out single suburban males, soccer mom is no longer taking up space in the left lane going the speed limit, now she's packing to! lol
Just hope she can't do flips anymore, otherwise, the first scene from Tomb raider may be played out, with you as that poor robot! lol
Great, so you can shoot spices at a guy who may want to KILL you. I'll stick with my 9mm, thank you.
Oh man, is that video from their site lifted directly out of 1987/Robocop?
Avurt.com
Is that just a paintball gun with special pepper rounds?
And as anyone who has read up on the law knows, don't think for a second that a concealed-carry permit allows you to use this since it's not a "handgun" and concealed-carry permits ONLY allow you to carry a "handgun" and nothing else.
No concealed knives, no concealed cans of mace/pepper spray, and certainly not this thing.
First person who pulls it out on anyone will instantly go to jail for carrying a concealed weapon.
And don't think you can walk around with thing in a holster on your belt either if your state does not have an open-carry law.
Otherwise you go to jail for going around "armed to the terror of the public".
No thanks, I'll just stick with my Para-Ordinance .45s (P-10 Warthog and P-12) and concealed-carry permit.
STFU
These laws very by state so don't go around trying to scare people away because you work for a competitor or think talking out your ass is cool. You have no authority or credibility here.
it would be tough to convince a jury that someone 40 ft away was attacking you...
But will it blend?
Oh my god that guy 40 feet away is pulling a gun on me! Bang! Ha got him... Wait thats not a gun he pulled from his jacket, thats his wallet... Quickly walks inside a shop... 15 minutes later...*screaming and sirens* Someone just shot that old man! I saw him grab his head and just fall down. When you find that guy he should be put in jail for life on charges of attempted murder. I walk up "Yeah that S.O.B. should rot in prison." Everyone looks at my waist... Officer says "Put your hands in the air and step over to the car." After he reads me my rights we drive off. "I'm telling you judge I could've sworn that guy was after me, by the way he looked at me with that perverted smile and said "Hi sonny." Judge declares "Thats too bad, maybe you should avoid shooting your grandpa the next time you think he is pulling a gun. Sunny!" I yell "Oh thats it" Bang! *screaming and alarm* "Oh sh*t not again!"
That looks a lot like Spider Jerusalem's Ultrasonic Bowel Disruptor
I wonder if it will have the "Prolapse" setting?
