Abstract
A handheld anti-riot device for throwing a catching net unit in a firing direction includes a cylindrical body, pressurized gas releasing unit, resilient ball, electric shock unit and illumination unit. The cylindrical body has therein a receiving chamber, limiting chamber and air passage in communication with each other. A net holder which holds the catching net unit is fixed to an opening of the receiving chamber. The pressurized gas releasing unit is disposed in the air passage. The resilient ball is snugly disposed in the limiting chamber. The electric shock unit generates a high-voltage electric arc. The illumination unit emits a blinding light ray in the firing direction. The pressurized gas releasing unit is triggered to release a pressurized gas into the air passage. The resilient ball gets compressed under the pressure inside the air passage to therefore move into the receiving chamber, thereby fire the catching net unit.
