👉 The bean weapon, also known as the bean bag launcher or bean bag rifle, is a non-lethal crowd control tool designed to disperse individuals without causing serious harm. It consists of a pump that propels small, rubber-filled pellets at high velocity, typically ranging from 100 to 300 feet per second. These pellets are often made of durable materials that can penetrate protective gear but are not lethal. The weapon is controlled by a trigger mechanism, allowing operators to fire it remotely or manually, making it useful for de-escalating tense situations in law enforcement, security, and public events without resorting to lethal force.
