37MM/40MM Chemical Agent Ferret Projectiles (OC/CS) SPEDE Heats The Ferret 37mm/40 mm CS/OC Round is a frangible projectile filled with chemical agent. Upon impacting the barrier, the nose cone ruptures and instantaneously delivers chemical agent payload inside a structure.
A single use, non-reloadable device that discharges a smoke through the canister. The smoke that is discharged is a chemical- laden agent that is designed to cause temporary discomfort through pain compliance for potentially dangerous or violent subjects. This grenade is designed specifically for outdoor use. 110 Rounds 12
The Ferret rounds are designed to disperse a non-flammable chemical agent creating temporary discomfort through pain compliance. The ferret rounds are typically utilized at a distance and are used for barricaded subjects.
This can be used in crowd control situations or other outdoor incidents.
5 Years 5 Years
"The Ferret 37mm/40mm Round 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.

Flameless Tri Chambers Pocket Tactical CS Grenade
A single use, non-reloadable device that discharges a smoke through the canister without creating any fire. The smoke that is discharged is a chemical-laden agent that is designed to cause temporary discomfort through pain compliance for potentially dangerous or violent subjects.
The Pocket Tactical CS Grenade is small, and lightweight. The 0.9 oz. of active agent will burn approximately 20-40 seconds. At 4.75 in. by 1.4 inches in size, it easily fits in most tactical pouches. This is a launchable grenade; however it is normally used as a signaling or covering device. Though this device is slightly over four inches in length, it produces a smoke cloud so fast it appears to be an enveloping screen produced by a full size tactical grenade. 1 4
This can be used in crowd control situations as well as barricaded subjects.
Due to it's smaller size, the operator will be able to carry it on their person. Additionally, the Pocket Tactical Grenade can be used to contain smoke or other chemical agents.
5 Years 5 Years
The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is designed for indoor use.
This grenade's pyrotechnic 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 fire-producing properties within the two internal canisters. The fuze is shrouded to further protect surrounding materials from the possibility of fire.
"The Pocket Tactical Grenade is a quick burning, reduced volume, continuous discharge grenade available in OC, CN, CS, and Saf- Smoke™. Pelletized chemical agent or smoke is discharged through one (1) gas port located on the bottom of the canister.
The Pocket Tactical Grenade is a small, lightweight, easily 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, rescue, or signaling.
The pocket grenade is not specifically intended as a crowd management device; however, it can be used in chemical
configurations in conjunction with larger smoke canisters to “piggy back” chemical agent into a predominately smoke environment.
This device should be deployed utilizing wind advantage." Used to gain compliance from a potentially dangerous subject by emitting smoke that causes temporary discomfort that results in voluntary compliance

"The 40mm Direct Impact Extended Range Round has evolved from Defense Technology design of the Direct Impact. This lightweight, high-speed projectile consists of a plastic body and a foam (frangible) nose which is spin stabilized via the incorporated rifling collar and the 40mm launcher’s rifled barrel. The rounds utilize smokeless powder as the propellant and have velocities that are extremely consistent. The 40mm Direct Impact Extended Range Round consists of a plastic body and a crushable foam nose that contains a powder payload. This payload area can hold inert, marking, OC or CS powder. The crushable foam nose dissipates energy upon impact while releasing the powder payload. The 40mm Direct Impact® Extended Range Round is a “point-of-aim, point-of-impact” direct fire round that is most commonly used by tactical teams in situations where greater accuracy and deliverable energy is desired
The Triple-Chaser® CS consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart allowing increased area coverage in a short period of time. This grenade can be hand thrown or launched from a fired delivery system. The grenade is 6.5 in. by 2.7 in. and holds an
approximately 3.2 oz. of active agent payload. It has an approximate burn time of 20-30 seconds.
