French firm Verney-Carron manufacture a nifty dual barrel less-lethal pistol called the Flash Ball.

Flash Ball Super Pro (Old Wood/Steel Model)

The gun fires 44mm less-lethal balls. The company claims they contain 20% less energy at 7 meters than a .38 Special. The company has also developed a round which deploys seven CS cartridges in the air to create a cloud of CS gas covering an area of 400 meters^2.

This gun cries out to be rechambered 40mm grenades!
