Abstract
A non-lethal multivariant device utilized by one or more individuals at close range (1.0-100 plus meters) to disperse crowds which exhibits a propensity towards violence, disposed to creating a public danger by inflecting bodily injury, loss of life or extensive property damage. A variety of preprogrammed functions are choosen at the discretion of the user to neutralize potentially dangerous individual which pose a threat to not only themselves but other members of society. The operative functions available to the user consists of but are not limited to the dispersal of non-lethal carrier mediated volitiles, short range high frequency electro-shock, administration of thermal inductants and the ability to project disruptive acoustical transmission. It is believed that the basic embodiment of the device provides a viable alternative to the user of such devices as guns, tear gas projectiles, mase, a class of high voltage low amp devices and numerous other means deployed by law enforcement agencies to capture or subdue potentially dangerous individuals.
