[url]http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,51760,00.html[/url] Since these are so non-lethal I was wondering if it were possable for a civilian to get one? Since they're suppose to be non-lethal and non-destructive. Seems about the same as a firecracker going off. "But because ours do not operate with this pressure explosion, they will not cause severe blast injuries. You may get superficial flash burns but you won't lose any fingers." Just wondering if I could add it to the list of stuff to buy. |

LEO Flash/bangs are listed as a DD. You might be able to buy them (or real frags) if you could find a source that will sell to you. [b]BUT[/b] - You may have a bunch of storage issues, you [u]will[/u] have DOT transportation issues, and you will pay a $200 DD tax on each one. |

Quoted: I wouldn't mind the fire work type fuse. I just don't want to have someone saying that I'm making a "bomb" and be hauled off to prison. Steyr, according to them. The new flash bangs will not casue that type of damage. Note the quote from the artical. What a joke. I see them being about as effective as most stun guns or that cool green laser that makes you dizzy. Or in other words, stuff that annoys poeple while they begin to shoot at you. |

I can understand why it's only limited to a LEO, but hell some of the LEO's are just as bad as criminals. I can't see why there couldn't be a way to obtain it with out the tax stamp and all the other BS, if you have a clean record and such. Not like I'm going to throw a FB into the wrong house, beat up the family then say I'm sorry, like some of the LEO's down here in TX and in other places. It's more for my ammusment in a open field with friends. But then on the other hand they don't want it to get into criminal hands. If it's such a joke and doesn't work and no one would want to use it because it's ineffectiveness, I should be able to have one then right? |
