PepperBalls
Friday, June 18th, 2004 by adminSo, I was watching the History Channel (because I like to pretend that I am smart) and I saw this out-standing new product called “PepperBalls.” PepperBalls are used by police officers who do not want to kill the yahoo that is causing a disturbance, just cause them a trip to they eye, nose and throat doctor. Here's the deal, instead of shooting an actual bullet at the subject, the officers shoot a pellet out of a paintball-like gun. The pellet is filled with Capsaicin II , basically the hottest pepper you can find, in aerosol powder form. The shot causes 1) the subject to think he is actually being shot at, 2) the pain of being shot by a more-velocity-than-normal paintball pellet, and 3) a super hot burst of the world's hottest pepper powder infiltrating the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Find more at www.pepperballs.com. P.S. I may or may not have one, so next time you play paintball with me you had better watch out. Now, somebody please tell me again why I went into radio instead of police work
