just an interesting article
Lamperd mentioned, but a different less lethal bullet company?

Scientists are always looking for ways to invent new less lethal tools. Here’s a new tool that sounds interesting. It’s called the Pogojet. Well, that’s the nickname. The gun and ballistic bullet is really called the Caseless Telescoping Less-lethal System.

First, a brief background on terminology. In this case, and in many cases like it, the correct term is just that: less lethal. Non lethal means there’s not a chance of the ballistic projectile or other instrument to be lethal. That’s why “less lethal” is used more commonly now compared with “less-than-lethal” or “non lethal.” ‘Just a little background history that I think is important. I’ll tell you why.

This .50 cal bullet is caseless. I’ve handled and shot .50 cal rubber bullets before from a special revolver and an AR designed specifically to shoot only .50 cal less lethal rounds. They would leave quite a bruise—potentially a life threatening bruise. These tools didn’t really take off in the law enforcement world however.

But this invention from Battel seems a lot different than the guns I shot years ago from Lamperd Less Lethal. For one thing the inventor of the Pogojet claims that this round will fire at 100 meters or at 20 meters with the same ballistic speed. The claim is that it will be safe at short and long distances.

I think that would make it one of most amazing rounds ever. Think of that, a muzzle velocity that is consistent from zero to 100 meters. Currently, I know of nothing else that will do something like that. If a round, say a 40mm less lethal round, can shoot 100 meters, that would mean up close it would be traveling too quickly and thus injure someone more seriously up close.

Like I said, this new technology is pretty mind boggling, but I’m not sure it will be all that effective in the field for two reasons.
