Having once been shot in the face with a rubber bullet during a protest, I understand the value this safety improvement would have if it worked: but I am skeptical that any technology can overcome the determination to inflict pain that a frightened, stressed-out riot cop may develop. It seems likely that the users of these weapons will, through practice, find the blind spots in the safety system, then quietly let each other know how to circumvent it. Official statements will deny this.
