As law enforcement agencies and the federal government accelerate their preparations for civil unrest, a new 5 million volt tactical cattle prod has been developed for the purposes of \u201ccrowd control\u201d and pain compliance.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

In the video above, Donovan Hunter of Stunning Developments, Inc. showcases the new BattleProd, the world\u2019s first weapon-mountable pain compliance-inducing stun baton which Hunter says is designed for use in \u201ccrowd control applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

The weapon was on display at the recent\u00a02012 SOFIC<\/a>\u00a0(Special Operations Forces Industry Conference), described as \u201cthe defense industry\u2019s premier event,\u201d and attended by military and police professionals. The event was sponsored by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.<\/p>\n

According to a write-up of the BattleProd by\u00a0Defense Review<\/a>, the weapon is \u201cintimidating\u201d and \u201cloud\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis thing is just too much fun. I mean, what\u2019s not too like? It gives you 3-5 million volts of compliance-inducing electricity either in your hand (handheld variant) or at the end of your weapon (rifle\/carbine, weapon-mountable variant). Touch the BattleProd anywhere on the rod (front, sides, etc.), and you\u2019re goin\u2019 down like a sack a\u2019 potatoes. Actually, you\u2019re probably goin\u2019 night-night for a little while,\u201d writes David Crane.<\/p>\n

The most powerful Tasers can only reach around 50,000 volts and despite being described as \u201cnon-lethal\u201d have\u00a0killed at least 500 Americans<\/a>. Given that the BattleProd can achieve 5 million volts, concerns surrounding the safety of the device will obviously be paramount. However, in the clip Hunter claims that the weapon cannot kill and that victims fully recover after around 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The fact that the weapon is being developed for use by both police and military assets who are increasingly\u00a0being re-oriented to carry out homeland security operations<\/a>\u00a0will increase fears that the BattleProd will be another tool of domestic oppression in the event of widespread civil unrest.<\/p>\n

As we reported last week<\/a>, LRAD sonic weapons which are also designed to disperse crowds via non-lethal pain compliance are being deployed \u201cthroughout\u201d America in readiness for upcoming national emergencies and other crises.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security<\/a>, the\u00a0US Army<\/a>,\u00a0US Military Police<\/a>, as well as\u00a0law enforcement bodies<\/a>\u00a0across the country are all making preparations for riots and civil unrest in light of domestic disorder that has gripped Europe as a result of the financial crisis, most recently in Greece and Spain.<\/p>\n

A recently leaked US Army Military Police training manual<\/a>\u00a0for \u201cCivil Disturbance Operations\u201d outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.<\/p>\n
