    Very curious about what every one else thinks.

    No way for me. If I find myself in a situation that I’m going to need force, there is only going to be one side of the story when it’s done.

    I could see instances where law enforcement may use it.

    I wouldn't trust a powder powered dido for self defense.

    Nope. If the need to shoot someone arises, you don't want them telling their side in court.

    I hope I never need to use anything other than my feet to walk away. But, I carry daily.

    We had an OC pepperball gun at my agency. We used it a few times and weren't impressed with the results. I seriously doubt this gimmick would improve upon that.

    Not for me. Same reason I don't carry a 22 for protection. If I ever, God forbid, have to pull my gun I want it to be done and overwith.

    Protection and "Non Lethal" don't go together.

    Personally, I would never bring a non-lethal weapon of any kind to a gun fight! Of course, not all confrontations involve guns…..but I will have one anyway…..pound of prevention!

    We were issued FN303s in Iraq.... They are a non lethal rifle that uses a high pressure canister. We used them in Crowd control situations and inside the walls at the Prisons. The rounds looked like rifled slugs with lead stabilizers. When we shot someone with them it put them right to the ground. They were way more effective than rubber bullets out of shotguns or whatever..
    They were pretty bad azz looking...

    I've seen videos of people being shot multiple times with the real thing (lead hollow points) and still proceeding forward. What do you really think a paintball handgun is going to do other than to piss someone off?
