Frequently Asked Questions

What less-lethal options were tested in the video?

The video tested a range of less-lethal options including a cattle prod, a steel whip, Byrna SD launchers with kinetic and OC/CS projectiles, and 40mm grenade launcher rounds such as chalk and foam baton types.

What kind of damage did the 40mm chalk rounds cause?

When fired from an M203 grenade launcher at a ballistic head target, the 40mm chalk practice rounds caused significant physical damage, nearly destroying the target and demonstrating considerable kinetic energy transfer.

What are Byrna projectiles designed for?

Byrna projectiles are designed for less-lethal applications. Their kinetic rounds deliver impact force, while OC/CS mix projectiles are intended to incapacitate through chemical irritation, producing an irritant cloud upon impact.

Who are the hosts of this less-lethal testing video?

The video features Matt Carriker, known for his firearms experiments, and Donut Operator, a former law enforcement officer, bringing a blend of technical knowledge and practical experience to the testing.
