Lethal weapons turned into toys is a common concept. How about a toy turned lethal weapon? According to NewScientistTech.com , our US army is funding a toy manufacture, Lund and Company Inventions, to use their firing technology in their propel toy rockets to produce a new lethal / non-lethal weapon. Lund and Company Inventions makes toy rockets that are powered by burning hydrogen. The US Army has proposed placing that same technology into a lethal weapon, in turn making it possible to speedup or slowdown the projectiles velocity.
The new weapon has been coined the Variable Velocity Weapon System or VWS. The light weight .50 caliber weapon will be loaded with rubber bullets (aka Laughing Bullets ) in addition to lethal rounds. This new technology could be an effective tool, not only for our military soldiers, but street officers as well. The advantages of being able to switch from lethal to non-lethal rounds with the click of a button could save precious time officers need when attempting to properly detain an offender. Needless to say, it could change the way officers employ their weapons.
