    This is most certainly an interesting piece of technology, but its design intent and its classification as a medical device are both rooted in the use of firearms for the purpose of self defence (in a jurisdiction where such use is both lawful and constitutional), so it has no legitimate/practical use here in Ireland where hunting and target shooting are the only lawful uses for firearms; as such, this thread is sailing very close to a subject specifically prohibited in the Charter, so, 'Thread Closed'.

    There's a thread on the subject over in After Hours.
