Clip-on Handgun Attachment Makes Bullets Non-Lethal

LESS LETHAL LESS LETHAL

They're assuming an LEO can hit their intended target on the first shot....

[billped]

Completely moronic idea.

[SonofWWIIDI]

Umm, yeah...no. Pass.

What if the round I keep in the chamber is loaded light? Would that appease the ignorant?

You could put an eye out with that thing.

And think of the death toll while looking down the barrel before installing it.

Would you trust your future to having one of these while shooting at a human?
Dang, I forgot to install it, or - dang, it fell off again.

This sounds like an Onion article.

This is the third thread I have seen on this today. On top of that, it is old news. Pretty sure I saw this on AllOutdoors back in February/March.

A gun is meant to be lethal.

The answer to "accidental shootings" is training not training wheels.

Not really sure this is the BEST spot for this story but I thought it's still something that y'all might be interested in, so if there's a better place for this, please move it.

"A California company called Alternative Ballistics has developed an easy-to-install accessory for hand guns that promises to make bullets non-lethal allowing law enforcement to incapacitate a suspect without causing life-threatening injuries."

It's pretty weird looking eh?

Looks like the modern equivalent of the boxing glove on a spring.

The dupe police are losing their collective minds over this one.

The device is a stupid idea. As it was, the BART shooting was a result of confusion over a firearm versus a Taser and poor training.

[Marktallica]

Stop with this stupid thing already! How many posts do we need on it?

I think I just got dummer looking at it?

Or you could just ignore it and move on. Probably less effort than typing out a comment about how we don't need any more comments.

For most of us typing doesn't take a lot of effort.
Unless your one of these guys.

Yah it really does! One of the other guys hit the nail on the head I think. Temporarily converting a deadly weapon into something 'less lethal' doesn't seem smart.
