    fent as less-than-lethal suppressing weapon allegedly got used in the moscow hostage crisis, also with a bunch of unintended deaths but it proved the concept.

    just because people are in the business of death doesn’t mean they don’t still want magic knock-out gas so they can capture people or do maximum-suppression of crowds without a bodycount. a fent missile that just kills people would be more complicated/expensive than a conventional one, so what’d be the point?

      i guess, especially since it kills cops quicker and easier than the general population they really have to take that into consideration
