OHIO (Daily Dunya) - A new non-lethal weapon designed by Jeffrey Widder, senior research scientist at Battelle Memorial Institute in Ohio, will impede the enemy without harming them.
The weapon goes by the nickname ‘Pogojet’ and has the official name ‘Caseless Telescoping Less-lethal System’.

The target will feel immense pain after receiving the bullet but it produces less kinetic energy as compared to other lethal weapons.
"It’s like a bee sting. It’s only over a small area, but it is intense enough to be effective," explained the scientist.
The gun’s round work like a pogo stick. The bullet moves with the same speed due to the exhaust gases vented out of the gun.

Pogojet can stop a target in their tracks from a hundred meters away. The light weapon is also able to fire additional rounds if the target is missed in initial try.
The rounds performance and velocity is greater than usual rubber bullets.
