This a device meant for riot control. It's a barrel-sized cannon mounted on top of a truck, with the ability to continuously fire large smoke rings made of teargas. It can save on those teargas canisters being litttered all over the place - plus nobody can pick up a smoke ring and toss it back.

What's the range before dissipation? |
|
| |
The point of teargas is area denial. The cannister releases the gas over time to keep people away. |
|
| |
In addition to emptying a plaza or quad, I think blowing CS into building lobbies and down side streets would be something law enforcement would be interested in. Or the military clearing buildings. |
|
| |
It is amazing how coherent smoke rings can be from the right generator. |

Gee, I wonder if it would work for Bear Spray? Perhaps a vortex ring could carry the Bear Spray Mist/Aerosol farther, enabling you to use it from farther away. More distance between you and bear, the better. |
|
| |
Actually, on further thought - I wonder if it would work for Mace? Hit your attacker in the face with mace, from farther away. |

Whatrock, when I was in Nairobi last month I saw pink teargas deployed. Shit you not! |
|
| |
It will work for all of those things and more.
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen could be fired and remain cohesive until ignited later by a heat laser. |

Chloroform, LSD, radioactive materials... |
|
| |
it gets dark down that path |
|
| |
Yeah, I was thinking about the chloroform one too - or something that induces nausea, anxiety/fear, uncontrollable bowel movements, etc. |
|

Let's hit them with boundless euphoria from rainbow smoke rings. |
|
| |
@ minoradjustments: kind of like the Care Bears would? |
|
| |
Perhaps add amyl nitrite vapor, something to make the advancing horde advance no more. |

[sanman] Give them a Hello Kitty moment before the axe falls. |
