I like K925's idea of using it in combat. What a much more civilized idea for war. Stun the enemy troops, swoop in while they're unconcious and put them in detetion camps until peace is declaired. Well, it's a nice fantasy.

Nah you immobilize them THEN shoot them.
Anyway this might be used but it likely will only be used in an escalating situation that has already gone bad. Just like they don't immediately taser a person protesting neither will they immediately turn on the pain ray on people who aren't getting violent.
It usually will go...
Police order a dispersement. If that's ignored. A repeat order will be given. That's ignored tear gas. That still doesn't do it. Water cannons. That still doesn't do it. Send in the riot squad to thump some skulls. The only thing THIS is going to do it put another step inbetween a being asked or coerced into disbursing or stop rioting and the inevitable skull thumping. I don't know about you guys I'd rather have a few moments of blinding pain than a fractured bone because the cops got a little free and loose with their nightsticks. But if you folks are cool with cops wading into people bashing them and causing lasting pain and injury I suppose we could just go back to the good old days of attack dogs.
