Page 13 - Speciality Impact Munitions-Less Lethal Intro

Cause & Effect

• Specialty Impact Munitions have a

tremendous MENTAL effect on an
individual. In many cases the mental
effects may far outweigh the physical

effects and be the determining factor in the
subject’s response or time of incapacitation

or distraction.

Cause & Effect

• Physiological Effects (mental)

– Anxiety
• The action of pointing a firearm directly at an
individual, and/or firing a projectile, arouses
connotations and a fear of having been shot with a
firearm.
• The pain, and at times the appearance of the injury,
may reinforce this belief.
