To reduce accidental deaths during civil disturbances, firearms manufacturer FN Herstal has developed a gun that not only fires less-than-lethal elastomer projectiles, it has a digital smart sight that can recognize human heads and refuse to fire at them.

      I don’t think this is technically a firearm, it looks more like a particularly high-tech Nerf gun

        Right, because all riots are the same, and there are no other methods than asking nicely and shoot to kill.

        Maybe we should start spraying them all down with ink and arrest them later like the Chinese.
