A riot gun or less-lethal launcher is a type of firearm that is used to fire "non-lethal" ammunition for the purpose of suppressing riots. Less-lethal launchers may be special purpose firearms designed for riot control use, or standard firearms, usually shotguns and grenade launchers, adapted to riot control use with appropriate ammunition. The ammunition is most commonly found in 12 gauge (.729 inches) shotguns and 40 mm (1.57 inches) grenade launchers. ==Ammunition== Less-lethal launchers can fire various sorts of ammunition: *Impact projectile. These rely on kinetic energy, e.g. rubber bullets. *Teargas cartridge, chemical riot control agent. *Pepper spray, chemical riot control agent. *Stun ammo *Smoke round *Shotgun shell. *Explosive. Largely for military use. *Incendiary. Largely for military use. *Sound 180db Sound emitting electric Projectile *GLIMPS (Grenade-Launched Imaging Modular Projectile System). This is a 40 mm caliber projectile which contains a small camera which transmits television images of what it sees. To avoid breaking the projectile up, less-lethal cartridges are often propelled by black powder, which when fired may make an eruption of sparks and smoke which is spectacularly large to those accustomed to modern cartridges propelled by more modern propellants: see images at () (). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「riot gun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
