Frequently Asked Questions

What are bean bags used for in law enforcement?

Bean bags are used to deter non-compliant individuals from a distance who are not yet a direct threat. They cause pain and temporary immobility without penetrating the skin, serving as a less lethal option.

What are the risks associated with blunt impact projectiles?

Blunt impact projectiles, while designed to flatten on impact, carry a risk of serious or fatal injury if fired at the head, neck, or chest. They are also expensive and only effective at longer ranges.

How do pepper balls work for self-defense?

Pepper balls are fired from a paintball gun and explode on impact, releasing capsaicin powder. This causes temporary incapacitation with stinging eyes and breathing difficulty, making them a non-lethal option for deterring intruders.

What is the main drawback of the ML12 Less Lethal Launcher?

The primary disadvantage of the ML12 Less Lethal Launcher is its limited two-shot capacity. Many use-of-force situations, according to the National Institute of Justice, require more than two shots to resolve effectively.
