The Russians Join in the Non-Lethal Weapons Game

While I swear this just looks like an industrial-strength Super Soaker, the Russians assure us that it’s really their attempt at a new kind of non-lethal weapon. It uses "electro-hydrodynamic effects," which basically means that a jolt of electricity is used to shoot out a high-velocity stream of water to take out the bad guy. As I’ve said in the past, I like non-lethal weapons, even when they kind of look like toys.
