The inventor of the Tickle-Me-Elmo just invented the first gun with a “set to stun/kill” setting. “The muzzle velocity is normally set automatically, but at the military’s request it has a manual override, so the shooter can dial it up to maximum power and fire lethal shots. Lund sees the gun as a lifesaver, providing a less lethal option when circumstances demand. “At the moment, a soldier has to choose between carrying a nonlethal and a lethal weapon—and he’s always going to choose the lethal one,” Lund says. “This way he can carry one weapon and still have a nonlethal option.” (via Popularmechanics.com)
