‘Salt’ is a gun and pepper spray in one

by John_A

Salt’s Indiegogo campaign says it “was designed around the belief that a gun does not have to take a life to protect a life.” See, it might look like conventional handgun, but its bullets aren’t made of lead. Instead, they’re pellets that contain a proprietary mixture of powdered chemicals, including oleoresin capsicum: a ghost pepper extract used for pepper sprays. Since the pellets explode when they collide with a solid object, you don’t even have to hit your target. Its creators said the powder mixture, which “exceeds the potency of those used by” Homeland Security and the military, causes temporary blindness, makes the lungs constrict and stings the human skin.
