Laser gun suppresses riots

British police are about to test a shoulder-loaded laser beam that can dazzle the messenger.

SMU 100 , the name of a laser-emitting device developed by Photonic Security Systems in the UK, can dazzle people up to 500m by firing up to 3m ^{2 of} light bulb. If someone looks directly at the source of the laser, their eyes will be glare-like when we look directly at the sun, forcing them to turn their face to avoid, the Telegraph said.

British police have ruled a messenger in a riot in London.

The device is sold for £ 25,000 and has an infrared viewfinder so that the user can detect the target in low light conditions.

The Home Office has ordered the equipment for testing. Earlier, international coalition troops in Afghanistan used similar equipment to prevent rebels from attacking convoys.

'If the police discover someone is prepared to commit violent behavior, they can fire the laser at the subject causing the person to abandon his or her intention to commit the act. Our equipment can also be used in hostage rescue operations , "said Paul Kerr, chief executive of Photonic Security Systems, told The Sunday Times .

The Home Office is seeking anti-doping crackers after riots broke out in several cities in August. A Interior Ministry spokesman said the Center's scientists Applied Science and Technology under the Ministry of Home Affairs believes SMU 100 is a useful device. However, they will check to ensure that the equipment does not have a negative impact on human health before the Interior Minister agrees to deploy it in the entire police force.
