day, do you think this would be? effective ?
What other low intensity measure could you suggest...that would be non-lethal but effective in to control rioteers & fight insurgents?
Bhut Jolokia, the world’s hottest chilli, could be used in hand grenades by Indian security forces to control rioters and fight insurgents. The Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has finished trials for hand grenades that use chillies to choke the respiratory tract and cause the eyes to water.
"It gives out such pungent smoke that makes one come out of one’s hiding place," said R.B. Srivastava, chief of the Directorate of Life Sciences at DRDO. “The war scenario is changing. Low intensity conflict is the norm of the day.
“The paramilitary forces face the problem of forcing the terrorists out of the hideouts. We wanted to find a non-lethal way to tackle insurgents and the mob during riot control,” he said.
Bhut Jolokia earned Guinness World Records’ recognition as the world’s hottest chilli following tests to measure its Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) - which measure active compounds to determine chilli peppers' heat . At more than a million SHUs, Bhut Jolokia is 200 times hotter than the average Jalapeño.
