👉 The tape weapon, also known as the "tape gun" or "tape launcher," is a non-lethal weapon that utilizes a plastic tape to propel projectiles, typically small pellets or darts, at high velocities. It operates by winding a strip of tape around a barrel or cylinder, which when released, causes the tape to unwind and propel the embedded projectiles forward. These weapons are designed to incapacitate or deter rather than cause permanent harm, making them useful for crowd control and law enforcement scenarios where minimizing injury is crucial. They are relatively inexpensive to produce and can be easily concealed, enhancing their utility in various situations.
