THE ALTERNATIVE™ decreases the velocity of the bullet and allows the projectile to impact the threat, lessening the bullet’s penetrating energy. The result is serious pain with less internal injury to the body than a conventional bullet. If the crisis is resolved without the need to discharge the weapon, the officer can quickly and easily remove THE ALTERNATIVE™ from the top of the weapon and return it to the belt pouch for future use. Until now law enforcement has only had one tool to deal with lethal force: guns and bullets. By applying THE ALTERNATIVE™ as an additional option, they now have another lethal force tool.
