Various sensors sense unauthorized entry and initiate commands and/or delivery of the dose of stunning energy. A volume control limits the amount of conductive liquid dispersed per dose of stunning energy. A continuity detector assures completion of the electrical circuit to the subject before applying the stunning energy. A range finder determines the length of the ballistic stream and adjusts the stunning power to compensate for losses in the ballistic stream. A functional tester tests for and indicates the operational readiness of the system. Viscosity increasing, surfactant and ionic additives to the aqueous solution improve the ballistics, wetting ability and conductivity of the ballistic stream and facilitate, inter alia, clean up of the spent stream material. Anti-theft, anti-intrusion, anti-skyjacking, and riot control systems are disclosed. | |
