Now It Feels Like Summer

[DangerDwarf]

No matter how long you have worked in corrections, every summer in the penitentiary promises to be an interesting one.

For the most part this year, we've been blessed with a fairly mild summer. However, the past few weeks have brought a rise in temperature and humidity, and along with it the rise in tempers and every things else.

Immediately after beginning my shift I stepped into the hall way to the distinct odor of o-Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile, the chemical agents utilized in our grenades and 37mm. Having been through numerous disturbances, I have to admit, the odor brought a slight grin to my face and the race was on to respond to the scene.

It was rather small as far as disturbances go, just shy of 50 offenders being subjected to the chemical agents, it seems some gangs just couldn't play nice and were determined to give me a busy night.

I enjoy the chaos my job brings; quelling a situation, setting up a triage for injuries and the seemingly endless plots of procedure which follow such an incident. So, after the smoke cleared, the ambulances left and many hours later the unit returned to a semblance of normal operations it left me tired but reminding me why I do this nutty job sometimes.

Ayup, summer is finally here.

Heh - small wonder you came up with that assortment of orc tribes and their respective specializations (by the way, that bit was damned good); it's a result of exposure to the real-life equivalent. It's wonderful to read of someone's taking real joy in a job where you are on the frontline of civic responsibility; as the saying goes, for work like that: some people turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and others don't turn up at all.

I love the smell of smale-scale incursion in the morning!

The Wonders of Science have just brought us a new toy that should be excellent for putting down prison riots (among other things).

It's been jokingly dubbed The Puke-Saber.

I saw a new snipit about the Puke-Saber. That is some cool stuff. Now, officers just have to worry about other diseases when a perp goes puking on them.

Heh, thats pretty nifty. With as slow as our aquisitions go it'll probably come to us when I retire.

Right now we're waiting on a fun new toy though. A pepperball gun. It works like a paint gun but instead of paint in the pellets, it's OC.

As a firearm instructor, when I go to the training for it, they'll shoot me with it. Yay.

I know your pain there. I love going to a school & hearing "just to make sure you believe it works we'll use it on all of you. Now who wants to be first to get this nifty new tazer pointed at them?...."

Pepper paint-ball Sounds like a good one.

Here's one vid of what we'll be getting. I have to say, this dude took the shots like a champ:
Ryan Stock

But oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh how I wish THIS will be the model we get.

Pretty cool stuff! I still prefer the good old 1911A1 or Springfield XD40 for slowing down unruly badguys, but the projected force could be a bit excessive for some.
