Like hot sauce in your face, the Army’s newest non-lethal weapon is spicy!
By: Todd South  
The Army recently awarded a $650,000 contract to purchase a new non-lethal weapon that launches paintball-like projectiles that irritate and deter potential aggressors.
The Variable Kinetic System, made by PepperBall Technologies was purchased for troops in Afghanistan, according to a company release.
The weapon has the same controls and ergonomics of the M4/M16 weapons system, so muscle memory training is the same for soldiers who carry those weapons, which is practically everyone in the Army.
