PREFACE

s the reader will soon discover, I have taken a broad view in attempting to cover specialty police munitions. My goal was to describe as many types of specialty police munitions, ordnance components, and related devices as possible to expand officers’ knowledge about “tools” that can be used to solve various tactical operations. Many of the munitions and techniques discussed will increase the number of tactical solutions that can be developed in any situation. In any real-world

situation, the more tools and techniques an officer has to draw from, the higher the odds that he will be able to survive and operate effectively.

SPECIALTY IMPACT MUNITIONS (LESS LETHAL)

n this book I have frequently changed law enforcement jargon, formal or informal, to fit judicial concerns. For example, many of the munitions discussed in this book were originally known as nonlethal, but, as many officers have found out on the witness stand, lawyers can make anything lethal (by definition) if the subject of debate is incorrectly applied or used in tremendous quantities. For instance,

marshmallows are generally considered nonlethal, but a person could choke on one or suffocate if a dump truck disgorged a load of them on him. Thus, while being questioned about the lethality of marshmallows an officer would have to say that they could be lethal. The term nonlethal has generally been replaced by less than lethal or, more frequently, /ess lethal. This term typically focuses on the use of technology and equipment less likely to cause death or serious physical injury (if used properly) than force commonly referred to as deadly. Specialty impact munitions (SIMs) are sterling examples of less lethal systems. One definition widely preferred by law enforcement personnel about less lethal systems is as follows: “A weapon system or device

that, when properly applied, can stop the undesirable action of an individual and induce compliance by means that have a low probability of producing lethal effects.” The concept of a SIM is the reduction of the number of fatalities produced in encounters where lethal force was previously acceptable and within the rules of engagement. When a less lethal munition is used as the first round, knowledgeable courts and investigative boards frequently recognize this action as a legitimate attempt to avoid lethal injury. Indeed, the desired effect should be incapacitation of the intended subject to a point that allows officers to take control of the situation and make a decision on what follow-up actions are required. SIMs are not new; as early as the 1960s U.S. law enforcement organizations were experimenting with and

using SIMs with varying degrees of success. For example, wooden baton rounds were used to quell riots, and the first “beanbag” rounds appeared during this time. Recent years have seen a great deal of interest in SIMs,

EFFECTS

To do this, a SIM must have sufficient energy to overcome the perpetrator’s resistance. The energy involved will cause injury by legal definition, with the majority of the injuries classified as minor.

specific and riot-control situations. Target-specific

situations include barricaded subjects and the arrest of some violent subjects. Statistics reveal that the

majority of incidents where SIMs are used involve suicidal subjects. As stated above, many of these situations include suicide-by-police scenarios. SIMs

may be used to arrest violent subjects armed with knives or other nonfirearm-type weapons. Finally,

SIMs may be used to arrest subjects brandishing firearms in a nonthreatening manner. In riot-control situations SIMs may be used to disperse a crowd, deny access to an area, and discourage looting. SIMs

may also be used to target specific individuals who are motivating or otherwise instigating civil disorder. The SIM should be considered an extended-range impact weapon serving in the role of the traditional police baton to control the subject’s behavior through pain-induced compliance. Indeed, record numbers of police agencies deploy SIM devices/systems that incapacitate subjects from expanded ranges. An interest in SIMs has also occurred in the

probability of success. (Note: Any SIM may not be

100-percent effective.) The psychological effect of pointing a firearm (especially a weapon’s platform with the size of 37/40mm) directly at an individual or actually firing a projectile at him connotes being shot with a firearm. The pain (and at times the appearance) of the

injury may reinforce this belief. A point of concern is required here: many departments dedicate certain weapons to be used as SIM systems and forbid the loading and use of any lethal ammunition in the

such as a stripe on the stock or forearm that will be concealed from public view during deployment. Additionally, SIMs deployed through surprise tactics often provide a powerful distraction. Psychologically, the perpetrator’s mind must cope with the physiological pain; thus his conscious

thought is distracted by the need to respond to the pain instead of mentally directing mechanical actions

or accomplishing fine motor skills. Finally, the impact of the SIM projectile may generate fear, which in turn may create a “flight” response. Physiological effects run the gamut from slight

SIM may not be 100-percent effective, so multiple SIM

projectiles may be required. Most important, whenever a SIM is

used, another officer should be ready to initiate deadly force if required (i.e., if the SIM fails to affect the perpetrator and he then

initiates a deadly-force attack on the officers). The ultimate goal of a SIM is temporary incapacitation of a SIM-dedicated 870 Remington shotgun. The numbered tape is used to identify the system.

having sufficient energy to likely incapacitate a subject but not generating a level that is likely to cause death or serious physical injury. Thus, all officers must understand that SIMs can and sometimes do cause serious injuries or death. Lethality from SIM impact is related to the point of impact, the velocity and mass of the projectile, the area covered by the projectile impact, and the mass of the human target. Possible serious blunt trauma injuries to the head and neck include (1) concussion—a cause of mild injury to the brain that results in short-term loss of

tearing and (2) fractures to the sternum or rib cage that may cause hemothorax (the presence of blood in

consciousness and memory, headache, and possibly vomiting; (2) contusion—bruising of the brain tissue or spinal cord, resulting in a loss of normal

brain function to the affected area, and which may cause swelling, hemorrhaging, unconsciousness, and possibly death; (3) fractures, and (4) abrasions,

contusions, lacerations, or avulsions to the brain and spinal tissue requiring neurological or orthopedic treatment. In the 1970s the U.S. Army Land Warfare Laboratory conducted research and published a report on blunt-impact weapons. This research found that impact energies between 30 and 90 foot-pounds can cause “dangerous” injuries—i.e., contusions, abrasions, broken ribs, concussions, blindness, or superficial organ damage—whereas “severe

damage”—i.e., serious skin lacerations, massive skull fractures, rupture of the heart or kidney, fragmentation of the liver, and hemorrhages—occurs if SIM impact exceeds 90 foot-pounds. Often, severe damage occurs with certain directly fired SIM strike targets located within 12 feet of the deploying officer. Blunt-trauma injuries to the neck include fractures to the trachea or pharynx, which may

obstruct the airway. Blunt-trauma injuries to the face include fractures of the teeth, jaw, facial bones, nose, sinus cavities, or auditory organs. These injuries can be serious or even fatal. Blunt-trauma injuries to the thorax, or

the in the pleural-lung cavity), pneumothorax (the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity), hemorrhagic shock, or a rupture of the diaphragm. All these injuries are potentially fatal. Blunt-trauma injuries to the abdomen include laceration of the liver or spleen, rupture of the

stomach, and bruising or other damage to the kidneys or intestines. Many of these injuries are serious and may be fatal. Keeping all of the aforementioned blunt-trauma injuries in mind, it is recommended that the head, neck, spinal cord, and life-sustaining organs not be targeted for SIM deployment.

An unintended and undesirable outcome is penetration or penetrating trauma that leaves entrance and, possibly, exit wounds as a SIM passes through the body. Penetration from a SIM may occur as a result of the projectile striking, with enough force to cause a tear or rupture, an area of soft tissue that has no supporting bone structure or muscle mass. Possible serious penetration injuries to the head and neck may include laceration of the jugular vein, laceration of the eye, and enough damage to the head to cause serious injury or death. Serious penetration trauma to the thorax may include penetration to the chest cavity, which

damages the lungs, heart, major blood vessels, and esophagus. Serious penetration injuries to the abdomen may include varying degrees of damage to

soft tissue, organs, and blood vessels. Again, all these penetration injuries may cause death. Keeping

all of the aforementioned penetrating trauma injuries in mind, it is recommended that the head, neck, spinal cord, and life-sustaining organs not be targeted for SIM deployment. The following historical data concerning SIM injuries was collected from the National Tactical

Officers Association and Armor Holding’s Inc. Training Division. Injuries are presented by type and percentage of occurrence:

real-world situation, the more tools and techniques a police officer

has at his disposal, the higher his odds of surviving and protecting his fellow officers and those he is sworn to serve. The firearms he carries are

generally issued to him by the department after a careful evaluation of reliability, stopping power, and legal considerations. Equal care should be used when selecting munitions, but, sadly, this is usually not the case. In Police Specialty Munitions, veteran SWAT officer and police trainer Tony L. Jones

looks at the latest lethal and “less lethal” police specialty munitions and tools being fielded, tested, or researched by the major ammunition manufacturers. Specialty impact (less lethal) munitions—electrical stun devices, stun shields,

40 MMx8 Sar

Tasers, antiterrorist rounds

DELAY: approx

Specialty lethal munitions—detonating tip, enhanced expanding, and fran-

baa

gible rounds; steel tacks, darts, and hooks; nested projectiles; explosive

door cutters Chemical agent munitions—area devices, tactical aerosols devices, chemical

agent launchers

Distraction devices—distraction vs. diversionary munitions, rendering safe procedures, rules of engagement > Specialty training munitions—marking ammo, blank rounds, nontoxic ammo, tracer rounds, reduced-recoil ammo, computer-simulated training programs

Being a police officer is tough enough without having to worry about whether your munitions will perform in the line of fire or whether you will be reprimanded or slapped with a lawsuit for using the wrong weapon. Make sure that your department has the right tools for the job and that offi: cers are trained to use them properly. A PALADIN PRESS BOOK - ISBN 1-58160-087-9
