Wrap Technologies Demonstrates New Green Line Laser Accessory for Non-Lethal BolaWrap 100

Introduced to Positive Reception at IACP Convention

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / October 24, 2018 / Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: WRTC), an innovator of modern policing solutions, announced today that it has introduced and is rapidly progressing to launching its new BolaWrap green line laser innovation.

"Our small hand-held BolaWrap 100 remote restraint device is intended to be aimed and deployed in a non-threatening manner at or near waist level," said Elwood Norris, CTO of Wrap Technologies. "This created a significant challenge that traditional night-time dot laser accessories could not satisfy. To improve the utility of the BolaWrap 100 our research team has innovated and filed a patent on a bright green line laser designed for the BolaWrap to be effective day and night providing a precise wrapping target. We believe this is a significant innovation in sighting technology and we are excited by the customer response."

The BolaWrap100 Line Laser is a compact green line laser sight designed exclusively for the BolaWrap Model 100 remote restraint device. The innovative patent-pending accessory allows the user to precisely target the intended wrapping location with a distinct green line. The human eye processes the color green more effectively than any other color. Rather than diffusing a laser dot with a lens and reducing overall brightness, the new design produces a very bright green line designed within U.S. and international legal limits.

The Company first demonstrated a prototype of the BolaWrap Laser at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in early October and is now preparing the accessory for production. "While the BolaWrap is intuitive to aim and use, our customers are reacting very positively to our new green line laser," said Mike Rothans, Senior VP of Business Development. "A traditional dot laser is less effective in sighting, especially in daylight, where a green line provides precise targeting for BolaWrap restraint. This improves the utility of the BolaWrap 100 for our customers."

The Company has recently updated the base BolaWrap 100 product incorporating suggestions from customer use of the product. Training programs have also been created to meet customer requirements. The Company believes the new laser is a key differentiating feature allowing domestic and international customers to improve deployments for noncompliant and mentally ill suspects.
