Hardcore Riot Control Packs

The CrowdBuster will Strike Fear into Looters

— September 6, 2011 — Art & Design
Looters beware, because if you see the CrowdBuster on police officers, I’d strongly advice you to run -- and I mean FAST.

Tear gas and pellet guns are commonly used when a riot breaks out because of how effective they can be. When it comes to pepper spray, the last thing you think about is crowd control -- this is where the CrowdBuster comes in. This bad boy isn’t the usual spray you’d see kept in a purse or a pocket. Oh no, this monstrous weaponry comes in a full backpack with a gun -- think Ghostbuster’s rayguns -- but instead of ghosts, you’re making rioters regret rebellion. This can spray up to five gallons of pepper that can stretch up to 150 feet! Want to hit several targets at once? This is the way to do it.
Trend Themes
1. Advanced Crowd Control Technology - The CrowdBuster showcases the potential for innovative riot control solutions that go beyond traditional methods.
2. Enhanced Non-lethal Weapons - The development of powerful backpack-mounted pepper spray guns like the CrowdBuster demonstrates the direction towards non-lethal yet highly effective riot control tools.
3. Long-range Crowd Dispersal Systems - The ability of the CrowdBuster to spray pepper up to 150 feet highlights the demand for long-range crowd management systems that can efficiently control large-scale civil unrest from a safe distance.
Industry Implications
1. Law Enforcement Equipment - The advanced riot control capabilities of the CrowdBuster open up opportunities for the law enforcement equipment industry to develop and market innovative crowd control technologies.
2. Personal Defense Gear - The development of the CrowdBuster backpack-mounted pepper spray gun sparks potential disruptive innovation in the personal defense gear industry by offering individuals a powerful and portable solution for self-protection.
3. Public Safety and Security - The emergence of long-range crowd dispersal systems like the CrowdBuster highlights the need for improved public safety and security measures during civil unrest, presenting opportunities for companies operating in this industry to offer cutting-edge solutions.
