QUANTICO, Va., Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A non-lethal munition system for helping to determine a possible vehicular threat to a checkpoint at standoff range is being deployed by the U.S. Marines.
The munitions are part of the Non-Lethal Tube-Launched Munitions System, which is comprised of a vehicle-mounted 40mm grenade launcher. The launcher has a digital fire control and can shoot between one and 30 non-lethal rounds out to a distance of about 500 yards.
