Puget Sound - flashbang munitions to be used as warning tool
The US Coast Guard issued a news release stating that its units in the Puget Sound region will begin employing flashbang munitions as a means to warn non-compliant boaters that they are entering a security zone. Once fired, a plastic and aluminum projectile will ignite after approximately 100 meters to create a bright flash of light and a loud sound. (12/13/10).
