You've never heard light?
Are you deaf?

 

yea, no doubt!


Which brings up a question..... if it's the light varying wave lengths..... what keeps it form makeing the person holding it sick? Do they have to turn ther head and look away?

 

Think about it. Does your own flashlight blind you when you are using it. They light waves are moving away from you.

 

So this is only suppose to work if the subject stares directly into the bulb?

 

Not neccessarily staring at it, but shining it in their face. Crowd control type stuff.
Between that and sound wave types, I suppose they want better non-lethal or non-injury products. Just like tasers killing people, so have rubber bullets and bean bag bullets.

 

I just can't see it working in the real world. Who doesn't have enough sense to turn thier head?

Now taser, or bean bag, or rubber bullets.... I'm going to disperse and leave!

 

Yes but if you turn your head, how are you going to see that they are aiming that shotgun with the rubber bullet at you? Or see them swing the billy club.

I have seen tests of the sound wave types. It doesn't seem to matter much if you cover your ears or not. It has a physical affect on your whole body.

 

if thats the goal then one of the cheap $20 multi million candle power cordless spot lights from walmart would be sufficient and cost effective.
Those things will blind you in broad day light.

 

If it is nausea you want the target to feel, just knee them in the bread basket, costs a lot less! Or force your thumb onto their Adam's apple(guess wont work on gals) and press up hard!

If this flashlight had no effect with the LEDs, is it hard and stout enough to knock someone over the head?

Don't you just love how Homeland security gave this company a contract on a "safe" weapon. What ever happened to behind-the-shed **** whooping? And if the target has a gun, you better have one too! Because what if he doesn't miss?

I would think if you are not prone to motion sickness or the like, this device might have little effect on you other than annoyance.

 

I agree.



For me, you could put me in a pitch black room, in a spinning chair and turn on a strobe light for as long as you'd like. I might get dizzy at best but othersie woudl enjoy the ride. I seriously doubt the flashlight would do anything other than annoy me. If someone is pointing a gun at me, the very last thing I want to do is risk annoying them.

 

don't blame homeland security. Blame trial lawyers, aclu, and any other liberal group you can for sueing the bejesus out of any one using "excessive force" to subdue your local scumbag. That is where all this non leathal stuff started. Start beating on the perps that are caught red handed or putting up a fight, I bet there would be less crime.

 

I don't know about all ya'll, but this thread is making me sick...

Sorry... I had to say it...

You are absolutely correct. This PR effort that our gov has undertaken has in fact undermined our safety and security. It seems every day the bad guy gets more rights and the good guy loses them.

If a scumbag enters my home uninvited, it will be up to him to call the police!
