Beware of the latest line in less lethal weapons: a scooter equipped with an air gun. Canadian company Lamperd Less Lethal's T3 features an electric vehicle equipped with a pneumatic weapon that can be used for crowd control, reports the Sarnia Observer. The weapon, according to the Observer, will soon be featured on the Discovery Channel's Guinea Pig show.
That's not all -- it also features a fancy sighting systems. "[I]n order to guarantee the bullet hits the intended target, the gun is connected to a holographic sight system, " the article reports. "An eyepiece shows a red target dot, and then transmits an image of the target to a monitor, which relays the information to the gun."
The company says it's selling the weapon to the U. S. Army "to use out-of-country for crowd control," which I presume means Iraq.
