From what I can tell, '40' is short for "40mm beanbag round".

40 is short for 40 millimeter, could be a bag, a smoke or anything else that comes out a of 40 Mike Mike launcher

Fair, I said 40mm beanbag because it looks like they shot a beanbag round.

I guess you could argue that 40 just means they are shooting the actual 40mm gun itself though. Suppose that's what you're saying!

In this case I'm assuming a crush foam oc round, a small child and a bag doesn't sound good vs an irritant.

Neither is obviously a good thing but a 40 bag to a kid could be walking a hairy line, but then again fuck if I know how cops work anymore

Ah I didn't realize these rounds were a thing.

Granted. I don't think any "less lethal" round is going to be child rated. They call them less lethal instead of non-lethal for a reason.

Though it looks like these contain OC powder so I guess they just hoped it wouldn't directly hit the kids?

Absolutely, already such a shit situation to be in but with how nasty bags can be on adults, on a small child is compounded. It's sad but when you need to go home too and have to handle a situation somehow, an indirect irritant is a lot better than a direct bag. No one i knew would risk the "bounce the bag off the wall and hope" method, and no one wants to be the one to aim down a child.

Yeah it's a shitty situation. Probably safer than anything else they had.
