This paper examines the existing relationship between the police and members of the public in Nigeria, highlighting the various problems endemic in both parties (the police and the public). Strict compliance with clear guidelines is therefore essential when using them. They are not to be fired at the head and if the globe is hit, it is rarely salvageable. Our report emphasises the real potential of the less-lethal weapons (i.e.

Skin penetration may be observed due to the high-energy impact delivered by a short-range shot with resultant severe or lethal injuries.
Even if the penetrating power of the less-lethal weapons seems to be limited, the impact may produce distant and severe injury. However, the relative low risk of this weapon may be questioned in real life. Indeed, the kinetic energy of the rubber ball is deployed on impact to a large cross-sectional surface (35 cm2) it crushes the target rather than perforating it as is done by classically fired bullets. It is alleged that there is no skin penetration through clothes, even in the case of a close-range shot. Its efficacy is based on a dissuasive look and its detonation, as well as the resulting impact which is equivalent to a technical knockout (KO). Since 1995, it has been used by several special units of the French Police (GIPN Groupe d’Intervention de la Police Nationale, BAC Brigade Anti Criminalite and RAID Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuation, all of whom are SWAT equivalents) and by other law enforcement. The Flash-Ball® is a new less-lethal handgun developed by the French arms manufacturer Verney-Carron (St Etienne, France).
This author wonders why, if someone is open, honest, upholding the law, and not doing illegal and/or corrupt things, why in the world would they need immunity? It does not take a brain surgeon to figure it out. In addition, this author finds it highly unusual, and potentially illegal, that police officers, prosecutors, and judges have “blanket immunity” against prosecution. This author has personally seen detectives and prosecutors withhold exculpatory evidence, “lose” evidence, destroy evidence, and create evidence to make it fit their version of the crime. around the evidence in cases to make the evidence fit their theories and, when the author refused to take part in what she felt was unethical, she was ostracized and seen as an outsider. The author has personally been in situations where police officers were crafting stories to fit. Due to personal experience working within the criminal justice system, this author’s opinion of law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges is far from positive. You spoke about police perjury on the stand and the author believes that this anomaly happens more often than society would like to admit. Results can be used by competitive shooter, military, law enforcement, and industry experts while outfitting personnel with a weapon system that leads to superior performance. The bullpup weapon designs were found to provide a significant advantage in accuracy and shooter stability, while subjects showed considerable preference toward the conventional weapons.Īlthough many mechanical and maintenance issues must be considered before committing to a bullpup or conventional weapon system, it is clear in terms of basic human stability that the bullpup is the more advantageous configuration. Shooting accuracy and fluctuations in biomechanical stability (center of pressure) were monitored while subjects used the weapons to perform standard drills. To date, no published research has attempted to evaluate this question from a physical ergonomics standpoint, and the knowledge that one style might improve stability or result in superior performance is of interest to countless military, law enforcement, and industry experts.Ī live-fire evaluation of both weapon styles was performed using a total of 48 participants. action are located ahead of the trigger, and bullpup configuration, where they are located behind the trigger (closer to the user). Shooter accuracy and stability were monitored while firing two bullpup and two conventional configuration rifles of the same caliber in order to determine if one style of weapon results in superior performance.Ĭonsiderable debate exists among police and military professionals regarding the differences between conventional configuration weapons, where the magazine and.
