If I was to compare its success rate to a firearm, I'd say it was in "flintlock musket" territory.

Now try to imagine having that success rate on a gun, in a situation where fractions of a second separate the dead from the living.

Then imagine selling it to, say, the U.S. Marshals or the Secret Service.
