[URL="http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/19/indian-army-unveils-blinding-chili-grenade/"]As stated by Fox News[/URL] [quote]India has unveiled the latest hot new weapon -- a grenade made using the world's hottest chili, reported The Sun on Friday. At more than a thousand times stronger than the average cooking spice the bhut jolokia chili is set to cause a potent explosion on more than just the taste buds. Military experts in India have developed the new crowd control grenade packed with ground seeds from the chili -- which is officially recognized as the hottest on the planet by Guinness World Records. When deployed the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems. Lead scientist R.B. Srivastava, from [URL="http://www.drdo.gov.in/"][B]India's Defense Research and Development Organisation[/B][/URL], said: "The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout. "The effect is so pungent that it would literally choke them." The hotness of the bhut jolokia, which is native to Assam, in north-east India, is measured in Scoville heat units and comes in at a massive 1,001,304 -- that is nearly twice as hot as Mexico's red savina that used to hold the record at 577,000. The average jalapeno measures at about 10,000. Researchers in India have also come up with some other ingenious uses for the chili. The scientist said: "There are other applications as well, what we call women power. A specially made chili powder could act as a tool for women to keep away anti-socials and work in this regard is also on." The department have come up with another plan to rub the chili powder on the fences around army barracks. And Mr Srivastava said: "The chili paste could also act as a major repellent against wild elephants.[/quote]
That's hot
That is innovation.
I'm assuming this one can literally knock the shit out of your ass.
Guess it's not so chilly if you're the one on the receiving end.
This sends chills down my spine. Oh c'mon guys
[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;20846054]Guess it's not so chilly if you're the one on the receiving end.[/QUOTE] Why did I laugh at this?
Kind of ironic that it's made in India
that's cool
Man, whoever gets hit by this is going to get burned. Oh, and give Faux News clocks. BBC had an article on this in June 09. [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8119591.stm[/url]
Apparently law enforcement grade pepper spray is still stronger though: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale[/url]
[QUOTE=OutOfExile;20846087]Apparently law enforcement grade pepper spray is still stronger though: [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale[/URL][/QUOTE] But I'm guessing that the chili is easier to grow there.
xD
I want a case of these!
Hot damn, India is leaving it's chilly military tech behind and focusing on their burning ambitions to get up to par.
Just imagine if they used pure resiniferatoxin.
I'm sure this weapon will be banned.
[QUOTE=Bubz;20846188]I'm sure this weapon will be banned.[/QUOTE] Why?
They might still be peppered by enemy fire.
[QUOTE=Bubz;20846188]I'm sure this weapon will be banned.[/QUOTE] What? Their going to use them on terrorists, then shoot them as they come out of their hidey holes. I'm pretty sure it won't matter what a little chili grenade does to them.
Rub that on your eyes.

Make a porn with that pepper. :q:

Haha oh man
