They have devised the new bullet especially for state officers’ use in crowd/riot control or in apprehending a suspect. The researchers created an alternative bullet that could be used with pistols as the first shot, he said. This bullet would only cause enough injury to stop suspects in their tracks but would not cause death. If the first shot couldn’t stop the suspect(s), state officers could still use live bullets after that in accordance with the law. The alternative bullet is one of many various inventions included in a project seeking weaponry innovations for the armed forces and country defence.
