This thing’s got "riot control" written all over it. If you’ve got a G8 summit meeting or some other globalization or symbol-of-government-authority-and-control event coming to your town, and you’re worried about the usual contingent of crazy, violent rock-and-molotov-cocktail-throwing leftist/anarchist rioters, the appropriately-named Strafer MK4 MOD 0 CO2-powered less-lethal weapon system/machine gun (airsoft-type) firing .177/4.5mm or 6mm polymer BBs at 250-625 FPS (Feet Per Second) and 9,000-10,500 RPM (Rounds Per Minute–which translates to 150-175 rounds per second–out of a 7,200-96,000-round hopper might just be the ticket for ya’.
And, you can effectively engage those little whipper-snappers from a distance of 75 yards. The Strafer’s maximum engagement range is 125 yards.
Manufactured by Piper’s Precision Products (P3 a.k.a. PPP) and marketed by X-Caliber Tactical, the Strafer MK4 Mod0 less-lethal weapon system is a sadist’s dream come true, and potentially dangerous in the wrong individual’s hands, so police departments may want to be careful in their choices of recipients. Psychological testing and some Taser-style sensitivity training (where anyone who uses the Strafer has to first be shot with it themselves) may not be a bad idea.
The Strafer video X-Caliber Tactical was playing at it’s booth at SHOT Show 2009 showed footage of this very thing, where LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) test subjects took some shots from the Strafer to the backs of their legs, and it didn’t look like a pleasant experience, judging by the way said LEOs were hopping around and whining in pain and generally acting like little girls after they got "Strafed".
Wussies. Kidding. I, no doubt, would have reacted in similar fashion if I’d taken a hail of high-velocity plastic BBs in the legs from the Strafer. But, then again, I wouldn’t have been stupid enough to volunteer to get shot with it in the first place. That’s why God gave you a brain, so you’ll hopefully be smart enough not to volunteer to get shot, Tasered (or is it Tased?), etc.
But I digress...
