In reply to: A pneumatically launched tactical line-throwing system developed by DFT for Special Operations Forces. The T-PLS can launch a standard titanium grappling hook towing a 7mm Kevlar line in excess of 120 vertical feet using a regulated air source. Minimizing complexity and emphasizing durability, T-PLS brings a much needed capability by mitigating noise and allowing the SOF operator to reach new heights in tactical climbing missions.

YESSSS! you don't even need anything else. this will be perfect at my gym! what kind of rope and shoes do you think i should get to go with it? the cool part is, if i get hurt with it at the gym, i can just sue them some more and get this thing paid for. i'll rack it right next to my 2 new ATC-sports and my grip-strength exerciser. thanks for the post! maybe i can buy it used on ebay since i got all my other good climbing gears there.

Bomber until upward forces are applied. Maybe equalize with a multidirectional anchor when top roping. Majid will understand.
