power over civil rights, nor the effectiveness of how well equipped they were to take on the task, but there is a fascination in regards to applying order from chaos in Less Lethal (LL) means.
Bringing into the
discussion - a movie; In the film Kick
Ass 2; Hit Girl applied a device 'The Sick Stick' on the
cool girls of her high school. The expected reaction of the device is similar
to the expected feeling when applying the effects of ultrasound waves
to disrupt the eardrums of a hostile crowd.
By it causing severe pain or major disorientation; it has been a proven
instrument in crowd deterrence , the effects are nausea, blurred vision, possible vertigo (Bucha effect), and cavitation.
(in addition to Tasers, a topic I will leave for another day). An organization analyzing weapons is the CRT LL; Less lethal also applies to using rubber/gelatin bullets, leading
the charge with new techniques is Rick Wyatt.
The photo is hard to make out, but the aftermath of impact of gelatin
is a welt no more than 2-3 inches in diameter after 8 hours, After 24
hours, the welt begins to show signs of colourization, and more prominent bruising
and has expanded to about 4-5 inches in
diameter. After 72 hours the area is a
little tender, but pain has subdued, and the colourization is more pronounced
and the diameter has expanded to about 5 ½
- 6 inches in diameter.
