Puke inducing flashlight

[Marduke]

Re: Flashlight Weapon Makes Targets Throw Up

Just playing around, I took a white, red, blue, and green Inova Microlights with fresh batteries (yes, I have all four, 2 for 1 special... ) and set them all to strobe. They were all just out of sequence from eachother, and seems to have an ever so slightly different strobe frequencies for each light. Looking at the business end of this, the first thing that comes to mind is "WOW, now that's annoying!!" You definitely want to look away from the contraption. And this hasn't had years of tuning and research to get any real effect out of it!

This got me thinking about the "puke-ray." Even if the effect wasn't immediate, or the person just closed their eyes to avoid the effects, how are you going to confront the holder of the vomit light if you are closing your eyes or looking away? Shine this sucker inside of a confined prison cell, and it wouldn't take long for the occupant to either start whining like a baby, or at least settle down trying to hide their face in their bunk. As a tool, certainly seems like it has it's niche.

Ok, now I'm sure some of you already know this flashlight shaped less lethal wapon that was announced a couple months ago, but now we can finally see it in action :twothumbs

I think you meant :thumbsdow

That was silliness, at least on camera. But the audience heckling him was at least the 2 minutes of my life.

Two minutes I'll never be able to get back!!

Anybody who has seen Scanners, A Clockwork Orange or Robocop would have higher expectations of a military/science demonstration--exploding heads, machine gunned executives, shoe licking killers and topless models. Oh well, reality isn't quite as exciting.

C'mon guys, were you expecting an entire group of spectators swimming in vomit?

Indeed, as I said some of you might already know it
Btw the video showing it functioning is brand new ^_^

Which would have been a good reason to put it with the original thread, so all the info is in one place instead of scattered about.

This seems like it would be harder on the police than the suspects.

They are going to have cuff them and ride in the car with them.

Who knows what kind of AIDS or hepatitis or other disease is going to be in that puke?

Good point:laughing:
Marduke, can you join this with the original topic?

Misleading... I thought that this was going to be a thread about the ringy beam on the on MagLights.:green:

Yeah, cause I'm sure whoever is wielding the flashlight will proceed to go play in the puke.

Only a moderator can do that.

HAHA Brilliant!

I could see this being used on protesters. If you just wanted people to leave, making them sick might convince them to go. If they leave, you don't have to cuff, pat down, and transport a large group of puking people.
