      This is all riot control gear. US universities usually have their own police departments, so by extension they usually have their own riot control gear as well.

      You wouldn’t use any of this stuff in war. It isn’t designed to kill people (although it can and will, especially if used improperly).

        I guess that why, with the exception of the first 2 entries, every other instance is for training.
