Measuring more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness, the bhut jolokia was named the world's spiciest chili in 2007 by Guinness World Records. The chili weapon, a tear gas-like hand grenade(手榴弾), is said to be able to immobilize suspects and force terrorists out of hiding. The military is also testing bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays(噴霧剤)for police use in crowd control and as personal protection devices.
