Designed for riot and crowd suppression, PepperBall operates on several levels, two of which are fear and pain compliance. The component stems from the initial impact and subsequent marking or “dusting”.

If officers have used the green marking projectiles, subjects will wonder why they have been singled out in the crowd and marked with fluorescent green paint.

Suspecting an impending arrest, most marked subjects will leave the area. If not, officers may then provide follow up shots with the OC red for pain compliance as the impact of projectiles alone is painful, but when combined with OC particulate, the effect is entirely debilitating.

We foresee PepperBall as having many applications in Crowd/Riot management in both Civilian and Correctional settings. Additionally, subjects that have locked themselves in vehicles can be accessed thanks to PepperBall’s unique glass shattering projectile.

After has been removed, the suspect can be subdued by filling the car with OC powder from several successive OC projectiles.
