Submission + - Less-lethal Gun Keeps Impact Energy Constant (thefirearmblog.com)
Anonymous Coward writes: "Future Weapons recently demonstrated a prototype less-lethal shotgun from Beretta that is able to kinetic energy expended on the target constant regardless of the range. This solves a common problem with less-lethal ammunition: they are often powerful enough to kill at close range and to weak at long range to stop the target. The system appears to have been patented back in 2000 but not seen in a working prototype until now. Less-Lethal weapon system are becoming important in the 'long war' where civilian casualties become significant set backs in winning hearts and minds."
