AP Reporter Takes It From The “Pain Gun”

I don’t exactly have the technical expertise or the desire to attempt to explain how the “Pain Gun” works, but if you’d like a briefing on it check out Engadget’s reporting on it from a while back. I can say, however, that the basic idea is that it gives whomever is it path of its beam will feel an intense pain, most likened to burning. The effect is that almost immediately the victim will want to get out of its way as quick as possible.

The press was invited to a recent testing session, and Elliot Minor, an AP reporter elected to have it tested on him, the video can be found below. I’ll just say from his reaction I plan to keep clear of this thing.
