What is the range?
It's got a longer range than any current conventional non-lethal weapon, since it's unaffected by wind and travels as UV energy. One day it'll be able to be fired from any range, space even.

Now, just because you can't kill a person with this device, does that mean you should never be punished for firing it at someone?
Good question. I think no - someone could be punished for firing it at someone, for psychological/emotional damages. (After all, the only thing being harmed is your CNS from the shock of pain.

And how do you prove is someone fired it at you? Does it leave temporary marks?
It doesn't leave any marks at all. The proof would be testimony and hearsay. It'd be a very difficult case to prove IMO.
