"Indian Army Develops Blinding Chili Grenade"
"India has unveiled the latest hot new weapon -- a grenade made using the world's hottest chili, reported The Sun on Friday.
"At more than a thousand times stronger than the average cooking spice the bhut jolokia chili is set to cause a potent explosion on more than just the taste buds.
"Military experts in India have developed the new crowd control grenade packed with ground seeds from the chili -- which is officially recognized as the hottest on the planet by Guinness World Records.
"When deployed the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems. Lead scientist R.B. Srivastava, from India's Defense Research and Development Organisation, said: "The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout."
I wonder if that's what was in the lamb vindaloo that made my bald spot sweat. And the aftermath! Well, let's not talk about that...

Riot control agents (RCA) are classified (by the US) as chemical weapons. The method of employment is usually an area target vice a point target.

I would caution any use of riot control agents using smoke or tear gas to control riots, especially from the worlds hottest chili. Although extremely effective it is easy to go over the top and end up killing people while only trying to incapacitate them. It is difficult to quickly identify the elderly, children, and others who are at risk and would potentially die from complications through use of the agent. It should be noted that strict rules for use and usage as a last resort would need to be strictly adhered to and not used just to disperse a crowd etc. Major David P.
