Less Lethal Munitions

Culver City, CA, September 22, 2006 --(PR.com)-- In certain situations, use of force becomes necessary for law enforcement by police officers and military personnel. This use of force can vary from verbal commands to direct contact. However, use of force by law enforcement officers can invite lawsuits or legal complaints by the affected person or party. Therefore, to avoid this unnecessary situation, law enforcement agencies are always looking for less lethal tools or less lethal munitions that lessen the use of force, and thus, reduce complaints, while protecting the perpetrator and the officer. Specialforces.com is the online store that caters to the tactical and combat needs of officers looking for premium quality equipment and accessories.

There are different types of less lethal munitions such as: impact projectile, chemical, physical restraint, electrical shock, light and acoustic. Impact devices, such as the beanbag, are made to deliver non-penetrating contact energy from a safer distance than a police baton. Electrical shock devices or taser guns are weapons that use the effects of electricity to injure the target. Tear gas and pepper spray come under the category of chemical less lethal munitions. Nets and wire entanglement systems comprise the physical restraint devices. Light devices, also known as diversion or distraction devices, are used against aggressive subjects and help to distract or disorient them. Acoustical weapons generally include high- intensity sound producers that cause physiological effects like imbalance. Less Lethal Munitions are like force applications, yet they have less potential for causing serious physical injury or death than the conventional methods used by the law enforcement agencies, as human life is sacred and should be protected at all costs.
