Instead of paint, fill paintballs with a soporific that is quickly absorbed through the skin, rendering the person unconscious quickly, thus avoiding a long chase, and allowing them to easily subdue perpetrators who hold a weapon of some sort, but have not fired a shot (if it's a gun).
Plenty of skin-absorbed
knockout chemicals exist, we just need to choose one.

I think [DesertFox] is thinking of a non-lethal response to people just running away, rather than your average armed criminal/terrorist. [DesertFox]? |
|
| |
Incidentally, what are the police snipers (in London) going to do about suicide bombers when they start dressing as emergency service workers? It's the next logical disguise... |
|
| |
[Texbinder] Precisely. People such as an escaping theif, or someone with a knife, or someone waving around small arms. |
|
| |
People with a bomb strapped to their chest and stuff like that would be met with SWAT and M16 fire. |
|
| |
You know, I think this is actually a really good idea as part of a non-lethal weapon system. |
|
| |
Sure, when someone's threatening to kill you, you kill them first. That's good. |
|
| |
But for crowds and crazies, this would be a really good idea. There's the problem of overdosage, but I was thinking this could be solved by having only a weak dose in each round. |
|
| |
At the very least, reaction times and coordination of the target would suffer, allowing other non-lethal weaponry to be brought to bear easily. |
|
| |
Alternately, having a weak dose increases the margin of error, allowing a squad to totally plaster someone and let them walk away uninjured in the end. |
|
| |
Okay, I'll buy that. But the police already have glue guns to tackle this situation - much funnier. |
|
| |
Apparently 'soporific' is the word of the day. |
|
| |
/...or someone waving around small arms./ |
|
| |
I couldn't help laughing as I pictured some madman running around with freakishly small arms. Caught me by surprise, I think |
|
| |
Dec! Dec, man. I canna see... |

Those participating in paintball are wholly recommended to wear goggles for very good safety reasons. What if our assailant/victim is weaing a) lots of protective clothing or b) no safety goggles? |
|
| |
I'd wager being hit the eye with a rubber bullet or beanbag would suck a whole lot more than a paintball. |
|
| |
However, it would certainly be thwarted by heavy clothing. |
|
| |
This is why there are rubber bullets, beanbags, and tear gas. |
|
| |
What soporific is to be used? Beer? |
