'Sonic weapon' deployed for Olympics

[wotsnext]

The Ministry of Defence has confirmed a device which can be used as a "sonic weapon" will be deployed in London during the Olympics.
The American-made Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) can be used to send verbal warnings over a long distance or emit a beam of pain-inducing tones.
The equipment was spotted fixed to a landing craft on the Thames at Westminster this week.

I have a couple of LRADS at the shipping company I work for, they are not that effective if you ask me, and even Somali pirates sooned learnt a bit of hearing protection even lessens their efect

Do you guys know the weapons that shoot small metal pieces at high velocities? I heard they are quite effective and easy to use.

Problem is that people tend to have difficulties getting into the right party mood after being exposed to said small metal pieces at high velocities.
Even those not directly in the path of them.

Liberals tend to get hysterical when they're used on protesters though.
