'Buy puke-rays and we'll donate to police widows & orphans' A US firm which sells handheld puke-ray weapons for the police and military markets has adopted a novel marketing ploy. For every chunder-gat purchased, the company will donate a small sum to help the families of cops and troops who have been killed in the line of duty. Laser Energetics of New Jersey announced that its Dazer …
This 'weapon' may be foiled by the defence shield developed by Ray-Ban in the 1950's. Or, you could just shut your eyes / look away , I suppose?
And the hand-held looks a lot like a real gun. While the 'enforcement officer' lazer dazes thug #1, thug #2 promptly pops him with his old fashioned ballistic weapon thinking he's about to be capped, great.
....until they try the Chunder Gat (C) on some 80s throwback with mirrored Ray Bans. All that barf-inducing strobo-bother will bounce back on the hapless do-nut (sic) mauler, resulting in them dropping half a pound of Dunkin's finest onto their flats.
I wonder if all police dogs will be renamed Huey....!
I loved this little gem from the website;
'The word M.E.A.N. is actually an acronym which stands for: “Modulated & CW Lasers…Erratically pulsed …Awareness inhibiting …Nausea inducing… Beam”.'
So, did they come up with the name first and try and squeeze the meaning in, or did they decide that 'M.C.W.L.E.P.A.I.N.I. Beam' didn't really roll of the tongue?
When they are deployed, will the police have to yell 'Chunder! Chunder! Chunder Gats! Ho!'?
I for one welcome our technicolour yawn-inducing overlords.
So im guessing this weapon can be defeated by either
A) Not looking directly at the large light weapon pointed at your face or
B) Wearing sun glasses?
Apart from making you sick, I assume it also has some lovely side effects? Epileptic fits, blindness, retina damage etc....
I guess they will use it like they use peper spray in the uk, Hold your eyes open and force it on you!
i see one pootentialy fatal flaw with this technology.
it is claimed it uses a flashinf light to be directed into the eyes of the perp. what happens when this light is directed at sum1 with epilepsy and sends them into a fit.
and before the comments cum regarding them being criminals and who cares, how many times do you hear of the police going for innocent people.
