Dozens of activists are said to have sustained severe facial gashes and head injuries by LBD launchers, known as "flash-balls", during riots in Paris recently.
Mirror reported that these horrific photos, which have been shared on Facebook, claim to be victims of flash guns fired by French police.
Officers use flash guns in riot-controlled operations, as they are considered a "less lethal" weapon than fire arms.
The guns are said to be designed not to penetrate skin, but have enough power to hit with extreme force.
