is a fin#stabilized frangible
projectile filled with chemical
agent. It is designed to deliver
chemical agents in barricade
situations from a 37mm or 40mm
gas gun. Spin stabilization affords
maximum standoff distance and
accuracy for safety. The Ferret
37mm/40mm is non#burning and
suitable for indoor use. Used
primarily by tactical teams, it is
designed to penetrate barriers,
such as windows and hollow
core doors. Upon impacting the
barrier, the nose cone ruptures
and instantaneously delivers a
small chemical payload inside
of a structure or vehicle. In a
tactical deployment situation,
the Ferret 37mm/40mm is
primarily used to dislodge
barricaded subjects from very
small confined areas. Its purpose
is to minimize the risks to all
parties through pain compliance,
temporary discomfort and/
or incapacitation of potentially
violent or dangerous subjects."
Designed specifically for outdoor
use in crowd control situations,
the SpedeHeat™ Grenade is built
on the old style larger canister.
It is a high volume continuous
burn device that expels its
payload in approximately 20 –
40 seconds from a single source.
The longer burn time may allow
for throwback by individuals
wearing burn protection such as
a welder's mitt. The canisters
may be protected from advancing
individuals with the use of less
lethal impact munitions. The
device should be deployed
utilizing wind advantage.

contents are burned within
an internal can that is one
of three in this design. The
internal combustion allows the
chemical#laden smoke to be
released through three ports
on the outer canister side while
safely containing any of the

the two internal canisters. The
fuze is shrouded to further
protect surrounding materials
from the possibility of fire.

Pelletized chemical agent or
smoke is discharged through

carried device that provides a
medium volume of chemical
agent or smoke for certain
situations. It was designed
with the tactical team in mind
for distraction, concealment,
