Less Lethal Shotgun???

[TWEAKD4]

I was doing some shopping at Walmart and I decided to walk by the ammo case. Didn't see anything that I had to have so I looked down the isle and saw this thing. I just don't understand the point of it and it was listed at $299. I can find a much better "gun" for that kind of money that would actually stop an intruder.
Less Than Lethal Shotgun

Yeah, that's utterly stupid... like on a whole new level.

240fps!!

240Fps. That might harm a chipmunk at close range. Self defense against 2 legged critters, no.

Looks like it shoots something similar to pepperball rounds. We've got the pepperball guns here and they shoot much faster than that. Probably shoot closer to 400fps. 240 seems a bit slow. It is very effective when they hit though. Those rubber rounds probably wouldnt do much. I really dont know how fast they come out of a real less lethal launcher, but I would bet much faster than 240fps.

I'd rather aim a nerf gun for the eyes.

Yeah, even paintball guns are faster than 240fps.

My airsoft shoots 400+fps

You do realize that SOME people are prohibited by law from having firearms, right?

Why should they be denied the right to self/home defense?

They shouldn't, but this is not a means of self defense. A Louisville Slugger would be a much more formidable means of self defense; a muzzle loader, even more so.

Making a shotgun less lethal? Next thing somebody will want a three cylinder engine in a muscle car.

Better than nothing.

There may also be a split second of gun recognition by a home invader that also may help.

A baseball bat is a contact weapon. At least this can be a "standoff" device.

Grasping at hypotheticals, I know, I know.

Even a cheap Daisy BB gun is 350FPS.

240FPS isn't that bad at all. Heck, many of the new games on the Xbox One and PS4 are only 60FPS. Not to mention my TV signal from Dish is only 30FPS.

And silly ones at that.

ALLEGEDLY!

*blinking* Sorry, conditioned reflex.

BRUZER? LESS LETHAL

 

[snowwalker]

Why are people so stupid? Is this because of city living or fluoride in the water or package food? Dumb city people. Yes my location says Indianapolis, but it's the largest city I live close to, not many will know where 20 miles north of Freeport or Reedsville is.

 

[OakRiver]

Less than lethal shotgun - surely that is an oxymoron

 

[ruger44srh]

You might as well buy baseballs to throw at thugs
