This video tests the effectiveness of 37mm Skittles grenades as a less-lethal riot control option. Initial tests showed insufficient spread and energy. After professional adjustments, the grenades demonstrated significant spread, capable of covering a crowd, and left dents on a table but did not penetrate ballistic gelatin heads, indicating a potential for less-lethal application.

This video tests the efficacy of microscopic rubber ducks as 37mm riot control rounds. The experiment involved firing the ducks from a TAC 79 grenade launcher to assess projectile spread, impact energy on water, and effect on ballistic gelatin "rioters." While the ducks achieved a wide spread suitable for crowd dispersal, they lacked the energy to significantly affect the targets.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of a pepper spray grenade for civilian use, particularly for crowd or riot dispersal. The test involved deploying the spray inside a sealed vehicle, highlighting its potent effects on individuals within the enclosed space. The presenter emphasizes its use for situations like blocked roadways or unauthorized gatherings on private property, while cautioning against its use on children.

This video details the essential components of a vehicle get-home bag, designed to help individuals reach safety after abandoning their vehicle due to emergencies like breakdowns, inclement weather, or civil disturbances.
