Argentina is getting serious about non lethal weapons. And they’re turning to Byrna Technologies to supply them.
What’s happening:
- Byrna Technologies (NASDAQ: BYRN) has landed a new order for less lethal weapons from the federal agency that oversees all airport security in Argentina
By the numbers:
- The new order from Argentina’s airport security is for 1,000 Byrna launchers
- Byrna has now sold non lethal weapons to more than 30 different international governments and law enforcement agencies
Why it matters:
- Finding ways to disarm or temporarily disable dangerous individuals without using lethal force is a potential breakthrough concept for law enforcement and a new approach that could significantly reduce the amount of unintentional police brutality globally
Going deeper:
- This is the second time law enforcement in Argentina has ordered non lethal weapons from Byrna, previously ordering their pistols and rifles for their police force
- Byrna has been seeing a big uptick in sales from both countries as well as individuals lately, previously generating record breaking revenue
