Russia The First to Use the Pain Ray?

Who cares if Russia ends up being the first country to use a high-tech pain ray for crowd control? The USA still has the most potent pain-inducing weapon ever used on the general population...taxes.

Russia's Defense Ministry is testing a new nonlethal ray gun for use on protesters, which looks like a close facsimile of the American system in development. The difference could be that the Russians are willing to use it.
