    The intended usage of a rubber bullet launcher is to shoot it into the ground in front of the target. It’s rubber so that it will bounce upward, knocking out their legs.

    Targeting a person with direct fire is assault with a deadly weapon and should be prosecuted as such.

      This case it’s a pepper ball which is to be shot at the chest of someone further away or on the ground if nearby. I wouldn’t be surprised that shitbag froze the balls before hand.
