nylon cuffs, misnamed nerve agents, slippery goo to spray all over the streets, grenades that do this and that, plastic bullets oops i mean *rubber pellets*, irritant sprays, dye bombs, walls of sound that make you crazy sick or sleepy...the list goes on. is it more effective? will it ever be as effective as the marketing brochures claim? nah. there's more to strife than slick tech toys.
