During an Advanced riot control class taught by an old jaded draftee Staff Sargent he mentioned his ideal for a riot control tool would be a chain saw...

Here's the video for that thing (or something similar.)

Want to talk about controlling riots? How about taking this baby and rigging it up with a couple of mini-guns?

Oh...
I thought SAW stood for Squad Automatic Weapon.
Shows you what a retired AF guy knows about Army stuff.

Vilmar, RE:"this baby":
I believe the original was called "Brilliant Pebbles"
After a speedy start from a rocket, this and its siblings will each choose a target in space--the midcourse of a ballistic missile and collide with that target at a few thousand miles per hour. The current Ground based missile defense has a single kill vehicle. Multiple kill vehicles will take out multiple warheads. The noisy jets are the control thrusters that guide the KV to the target.

Mech,

Yep! But still, just imagine the looks of awe and terror on the faces of the unwashed, smelly hippies when this thing shows up where they are protesting and the minis start going off!

I smile just thinking about it.
