This is all riot control gear. US universities usually have their own police departments, so by extension they usually have their own riot control gear as well.
You wouldn't use any of this stuff in war. It isn't designed to kill people (although it can and will, especially if used improperly).
(although it can and will, especially if used improperly).
I guess that why, with the exception of the first 2 entries, every other instance is for training.
By the way for those that think they're gonna use actual grenades on children, they're just foam "fordy mike mikes" (40mm) that are designed to fit in a grenade launcher. Pepper balls are similar to pepper spray (but iirc it's a bit stronger)
doesn't make it better lol
If you've ever been hit by either (I've been hit by a few pepper balls) - it fucking sucks. It is painful, it can, absolutely, be lethal if it hits a neck/face/chest.
Jesus, a fucking LRAD? Those things are NASTY
