    Coolest Air-Powered Weapon?

    This is my personal favourite air-powered weapon, the FN 303 Less Lethal Launcher.
    It is essentially a really powerful paintball gun, only it fires fin-stabilised projectiles that are accurate to 50m.
    The projectiles weigh about 8.5 grams or 130 grains and travel at around 300 fps.
    Muzzle energy is about 25 ft/lbs, or twice that of a traditional paintball gun.
    Power comes from a 3000psi air tank that lasts 110 shots, and projectiles are fed from removable 15-round magazines.
    There are four types of projectiles available.
    The first is a clear impact/training round that has no payload, but is still very painful.
    The second carries a payload of permanent yellow paint for marking targets for later identification.
    The third carries temporary water-based pink paint, similar to regular paintballs, for short-term identification.
    The fourth carries a capsicum-based irritant powder that is twice as hot as OC and has a longer shelf life.

    As a Pre-Charged Pneumatic air gun, a firearms licence would be required, but all of the projectiles except the irritant ones should be legal here.
    It would be sweet to see those get imported into New Zealand.

    Here are a couple photos:
