Bolawrap non-lethal tether restraints - video

More on this, and it certainly bolsters the notion that this restraint only works on someone who is passive and still.

"Powered by a 9mm blank, the BolaWrap exits at 640 feet per second and wraps 1-3 times at an effective range of 10-25 feet."

What exactly is a 9mm Fractional Blank? https://wraptechnologies.com/purchasing/

Interesting verbiage in their spec sheet.

I still think it could be used on someone in moderate motion and still wonder about the recoil based on the shape and way its held. But it seems more for less lethal combatants...or distracted pedestrians

...riot control???

Interesting design but pricey $1k for the gun...rounds pretty cheap considering the machining and assembly.

Thanks for the update info.

When I was with the 52 MP Btn at Ft Sam Houston the call came in about an escaped patient from Brook Army medical ward 8 and was roaming the post in her hospital gown. They found her in the stock area of the Post exchange ripping open and consuming bags of potato chips it took 7 burly MPs to restrain the 120 lb woman using an air cargo net I have no idea what she was high on but when the Mp's came to the motor pool for shift change they all looked like they had tangled with a grizzly bear.
Technologies like the bola wrap and other non lethal devices are badly needed for instances like that one.
