US Military Developing New Non Lethal Weaponry


The US government has unveiled a new non-lethal laser rifle designed to dazzle the enemy without causing permanent harm. The Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response (PHSR) rifle delivers a low level laser beam to blind the eyes of anyone that it is fired at. In the past the problem with laser rifles of this type has been that they often caused permanent damage. The new weapon uses a lower level laser and initial tests have shown that those the weapon has been fired at were not left permanently blind.
