Yeah, but it just makes you feel as if you're on fire if you are in the
beam. Most people immediately start moving around alot if they are on fire,
so its basically a second or two of agony and as soon as you move out of
the beam, it stops. 

Which isn't too bad for a crowd control device - anybody hit immediately
runs away, and isn't permanently injured.
