For a second I thought they were going to use this for combat; then I read the article and saw it was for crowd control. That I agree with...if they were to use these non lethal devices for combat, I would not have agreed. If there's lead comin my way, I sure wouldn't want to be shooting sticky crap at them instead of a .223 round.

They ought to develop a monsterous pepper spray . That'll dispatch a crowd in a hurry. Or maybe a chalk ...
