5 Million Volt Cattle Prod Developed For “Crowd Control”

As law enforcement agencies and the federal government accelerate their preparations for civil unrest, a new 5 million volt tactical cattle prod has been developed for the purposes of "crowd control" and pain compliance.

In the video above, Donovan Hunter of Stunning Developments, Inc. showcases the new BattleProd, the world's first weapon-mountable pain compliance-inducing stun baton which Hunter says is designed for use in "crowd control applications."

The weapon was on display at the recent 2012 SOFIC (Special Operations Forces Industry Conference), described as "the defense industry's premier event," and attended by military and police professionals. The event was sponsored by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.

According to a write-up of the BattleProd by Defense Review, the weapon is "intimidating" and "loud".

"This thing is just too much fun. I mean, what's not too like? It gives you 3-5 million volts of compliance-inducing electricity either in your hand (handheld variant) or at the end of your weapon (rifle/carbine, weapon-mountable variant). Touch the BattleProd anywhere on the rod (front, sides, etc.), and you're goin' down like a sack a' potatoes. Actually, you're probably goin' night-night for a little while," writes David Crane.

The most powerful Tasers can only reach around 50,000 volts and despite being described as "non-lethal" have killed at least 500 Americans. Given that the BattleProd can achieve 5 million volts, concerns surrounding the safety of the device will obviously be paramount. However, in the clip Hunter claims that the weapon cannot kill and that victims fully recover after around 20 minutes.

The fact that the weapon is being developed for use by both police and military assets who are increasingly being re-oriented to carry out homeland security operations will increase fears that the BattleProd will be another tool of domestic oppression in the event of widespread civil unrest.

As we reported last week, LRAD sonic weapons which are also designed to disperse crowds via non-lethal pain compliance are being deployed "throughout" America in readiness for upcoming national emergencies and other crises.

The Department of Homeland Security, the US Army, US Military Police, as well as law enforcement bodies across the country are all making preparations for riots and civil unrest in light of domestic disorder that has gripped Europe as a result of the financial crisis, most recently in Greece and Spain.

A recently leaked US Army Military Police training manual for "Civil Disturbance Operations" outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.

Gosh, how many weapons are they planning on using?  Disgusting!

I read under some comments of this article to get a big hose and wet them if they ever try to use this against us.
