'It's still a dangerous electrical device, and it's not a toy.'

In other words, it's much less likely to kill somebody than a conventional handgun.

"This might not be as useful for military applications, but it vastly improves the safety and reliability of less-lethal projectiles for law enforcement," Wirth said. For now, anybody willing to shell out close to $4,000 for a GR-1 will have to sign a liability waiver. According to Wirth, the company ran the GR-1 through an independent safety review and extensive testing.

The company is also operating in a bit of a regulatory void. Several US states have laws that forbid the sale of electronic accelerators like the GR-1.
