[Global Network Report] According to the Hong Kong "Star Island Daily" report on the 13th, several violent incidents occurred during the "amendment storm" in Hong Kong in 2019, prompting the police force to review the effectiveness of low-force equipment. Last year, the Swiss manufacturer's "pepper launcher" was introduced and relevant training was carried out. The police said that the field test plan would be carried out on the 17th. The stormtroopers of the Hong Kong Island Region would take the lead in equipping the equipment, and would take it out when necessary. Three months later, they would review and study the next step of equipping and using plan, in order to improve the effectiveness of riot control.

According to the report, the police introduced precise anti-riot equipment, and the effect of anti-riot and anti-riot was more remarkable. On the 11th, the police invited the media to the police mobile force base in Fanling to demonstrate the orange "pepper launcher" with a gun barrel. A strong wind suddenly blew up at the scene. The demonstrators were 1.5 meters and 5 meters away from the two target dolls. The personnel took out the equipment, first aimed at the chest of the doll with a red light spot, and then shot blue pepper water. The white clothes of the two dolls immediately dyed blue, but there was no other damage.

Yuan Yongkang, the superintendent of the Police Mobile Force Training School, said that during the "black storm" in 2019, public and private property was repeatedly damaged, and police officers and dissident citizens were attacked from time to time. It was necessary for the police force to provide more effective low-lethal weapons for front-line personnel. After analyzing the weapons data of Swiss manufacturers last year, it was confirmed that the relevant "pepper water launchers" were low-lethal weapons, and began to introduce and carry out relevant training for front-line personnel.

Yuan Yongkang said that after each shot, the pepper water launcher can launch pepper water four times, with an effective range of up to 7 meters, but the impact force is not strong. The ingredient is pepper oleoresin. The mucous membrane of the hit person will immediately swell, the eyes will close, and after inhalation, it will cause cough, skin and nose will have a burning sensation, and may also retch, and the blue dye will remain on the nails, skin and clothes, and the effect lasts for 30 to 45 minutes, without causing permanent effects, It has the same effect as the pepper spray and pepper ball gun originally equipped, but the "pepper water launcher" can hit the target more accurately, and the hit rate will not be affected by wind and rain.

Yuan Yongkang said that after using the "pepper water transmitter" and confirming that the other party was subdued, the staff would take the other party to a ventilated place as soon as possible and wash it with a large amount of clean water, and at the same time require the other party to relax as much as possible and keep breathing unblocked. He stressed that the manufacturer listed that the equipment could be launched to the head, but the police tended to require the personnel to launch towards the center of the target person's body, such as the chest. The use rules were more rigorous than those of the manufacturer, and, like the use rules of other equipment, the personnel should report the situation to the superior once using the equipment
