The paper mentions a number of ‘innovations’ with some rather creative names. This includes the Discriminating Irritant Projectile (DIP), a special bullet loaded with an irritant, possibly CS gas or pepper spray, that gets splattered on the victim upon impact. The firing range of the weapon is 25-65 meters.
Another notable riot disperser mentioned by the briefing was a something referred to by CAST as ‘skunk oil’. The system involves firing special pellets from a weapon similar to a paint gun. Upon impact, the pellets release an obnoxious-smelling liquid likely to make rioters want to go home to change their clothes.
