Industry subcontractors to United Defense include General Dynamics
Robotics Systems (GDRS) and Omnitech Robotics International (ORI). (OTCBB:LLLI) announced today that company founder and
CEO, Barry Lamperd, has been scheduled as an expert participant at the
International Law Enforcement Forum (ILEF) 2005. These forward-looking
statements are made as of the date of this news release, and Lamperd
Less Lethal assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking
statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Metal Storm weapons system utilizes
multiple barrels mounted together on one platform which allows varying
munitions types to be deployed in a single, low cost, lightweight weapon
system. Firing the weapons by electronic ignition requires no moving
parts, allowing reliable long term unattended weapon operation.
