Me, and they are mostly done except I haven't been able to get the 
Mob Tactics part done. If I forget that, I can probably release 
immediately.

I have some rules for these in there.

Don't know. I went on an advanced driver training course by Labatt's 
and they used a Dupont clear polymer 'snot' as they called it but it 
was so slippery your vehicle seemed like it was on glare ice on a 
parking lot. One small barrell would probably cover an area about 
100x50 ft.  (30mx20m maybe). 

Brian, if you want the non-lethal weapons sent directly to you, let 
me know. Mail me offlist.
