Anti-Riot Tangle Gun 7

The Anti-riot tangle gun 7 was an anti-riot snare weapon produced by Merr-Sonn.

Considered more humane than blasters, the anti-riot tangle gun was often used when non lethal force was needed. Despite this, they often proved unintentionally deadly to the target. The tangle gun fired a Naorstrachem pellet mixed with a shrinking agent. This pellet, when exposed to air, would explosively expand into a multi meter wide webbed net. This net would begin to automatically contract as soon as it came into contact with a warm surface, such as a living body. The net would then adhere istelf around the target and tighten, trapping the target almost instantly.

However, the problem with most tangle guns - including Tangle Gun 7 - was that the webbing often contracted too much,resulting in the target being suffocated by the intense contraction of the webbing.
