Does anybody know anything about "Flash Ball"? I believe it is a less than lethal weapon made by a French company. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps its like a "Flash Stun Gernade" like used by SWAT Teams, that produces a bright light and a big bang to stun the bad guys.

That thing is made by a fine company called Verney Caron. They're famous for their shotguns in France.

Here's a little video of the "Flashball" anti-riot tool:

That second guy in the video must be on rhino tranquilizers. :-)

Is that the football Flash Gordon carried before he was sent to another planet to save us all?

Google doesn't have personal experience with the specific product in question from people I generally trust about firearms knowledge do they? There is no need to be all snippity. :neener: If I couldn't use Google I would never have found this forum with kind and courteous folks like you. Next time I will be more specific in my questioning. Example: " Does anyone on THR own "FlashBall" or have they fired it, and if so what is their personal opinion on the matter". I would like to thank you though, for posting the link that you did. It has helped me learn more about the product. I am still lacking the knowledge that only someone can give you if they have first hand experience, But thank you again. :neener:

Please anyone with first hand knowledge on the topic at hand post your experience here so I can read it?
Thank you - Mike

This things seems pretty neat. I wonder if you would get in trouoble if you used it on your children if they were being really really bad. Eg.
Dad- "You apopologize right now to your mother young man! Do you not see her crying?"
Child- "Nooo!"
Dad- "I'll give you 'till the count of three".
Child- "No, I hate you. I wish I was adopted".
Dad- "Fine then have it your way...1...2...2/12.....3....(POW)....This hurts me more than it hurts you."
Child- "I am so very sorry mother"
Mother- "Well I forgive you, and you are adopted. Do you think I would let your father shoot you with a rubber ball if you were our real child like your sister?"

...the Flash-Ball generates the stopping power of a .38 Special.

Well, now, there's your problem right there. Gimme a nerf-gun with the stopping power of a .45, then we can talk.:neener:
