What is the proper technique for deploying a bean bag round?

The proper technique for deploying a bean bag round focuses on maximizing effectiveness while minimizing the risk of serious injury. Aiming for the torso area is the correct approach since it provides a larger target and allows the nonlethal round to incapacitate a subject while limiting the potential for severe injury. The torso, particularly the center mass, is more likely to absorb the impact effectively, which increases the likelihood of achieving the desired outcome of subduing an individual without lethal force.

Directly aiming for the head or lower extremities significantly raises the risk of causing serious injuries. Aiming at the head can result in catastrophic injuries, while targeting the lower extremities may lead to further complications, as those areas can be more susceptible to fractures or other injuries. Aiming for the feet also presents a challenge in accuracy and effectiveness, making it less reliable than targeting the torso, which is the safest option for both operational success and the well-being of the individual being targeted.
