* Spider-Man web catches suspects in seconds
* Web catcher 'safer' than using a Taser
* But SA police wants to widen use of Taser

A SPIDER-MAN-STYLE web designed to subdue belligerent suspects has been demonstrated for SA police.

The Safety Net suppression device has much in common with the Marvel Comics superhero's "web-shooters", built into his costume and designed to stop villains in their tracks.

SA police are examining the potential advantages of the device after accepting an offer to watch a demonstration by Sydney-based S.A.Y. Security Group on Monday.

It works by deploying a high-tensile net across a 16sq m area at 6m per second, covering a person in seconds.

Now this is a device I could support!

Hell of a lot better than Tasers.

But the cops still want more Tasers!

I wonder why.... :scratch:

That picture scares me, looks like Chinese generals attacking civilians.


As for the thing itself it is a pretty cool idea, but like essentially every weapon, lethal or not in existence I am weary of.

You sounded like Yoda for a bit there.
