Law enforcement, military and other agencies are always on the prowl for devices that will help them gain the upper hand. Although weapons often are the primary focus of such groups, there is also a growing interest in non-lethal weapons. Many times these devices are referred to as non-lethal weapons, but many experts express a concern over such a phrase since, technically, a standard No. 2 pencil can be lethal if used in an improper way. The more acceptable term would be “less-than-lethal devices.” Even though the terminology may be up for debate, it is hard to argue that the popularity of these types of devices is on the rise.
Pepperball SA-4 Launcher
Sergeant Pepper
The PepperBall SA-4 Launcher is a lightweight, highly effective device ideal for dealing with non-compliant individuals. It measures 6-by-6 inches and weighs less than 14 ounces when fully loaded with a 9V battery and projectiles. Its specially designed projectiles are packed with irritant powder containing 5% capsaicin II PAVA pepper powder — 15 times more potent than standard hot pepper. The SA-4 Launcher is easy and accurate to use thanks to the Hi Viz laser sight. The unit offers users three different user modes — safe, stealth-on and laser-on — and has an effective target range of out to 30 feet. PepperBall also featuers non-pepper training rounds loaded with scented powder and clearly marked in a red, white and blue container.

Kimber Pepperblaster II
Liquid Fury
Kimber has a reputation for its standards of excellence and quality products. That same attention to detail has been applied to the Kimber PepperBlaster II thanks to its painfully hot pepper ball of liquid fury, which is dispersed out to 13 feet at 90 mph — leaving the attacker disabled for up to 45 minutes. Two highly concentrated pepper solution charges give you two shots. Since it isn’t pressurized like an aerosol spray, it doesn’t lose pressure over time, and it’s three times as effective as other units on the market. Plus, the ergonomically designed unit fits easily into a pocket or purse.

ASP Defender PS
Easy to Carry
ASP Personal Safety Defenders are two of the smallest aerosols on the market. ASP offers two different sizes: the Key Defender with a length of 5.75 inches and the smaller Palm Defender with a length of 4.5 inches. Both of these units pack a powerful punch. What makes the ASP Defender series different is that both of these units offer training cartridges. Constructed of a high-grade machined aluminum body, solid brass actuator and split rings, this less-than-lethal device easily attaches to a key chain or purse strap, fits into a pocket or tucks into a vehicle sun visor. The device requires two distinct movements to deploy the spray, and ensuring the end result is a low-profile, devastatingly effective aerosol dispenser.

Rap 4 Less Lethal launcher
Lethal Launcher

ASP Agent Baton
Devastatingly Discreet
SP’s (Armament Systems and Procedures) new Agent Baton is small, lightweight, easy to grip, discreet and extremely effective. Made from aluminum and high grade carbon steel, this baton has a striking surface rating of 240,000 PSI tensile strength, which in layman’s terms translates into a devastatingly low profile baton that packs a punch. When fully retracted, the baton measures 7.75 inches but rapidly extends to become a 16-inch LeverLoc less-than-lethal device. It also comes with a snap lock clip, which enables it to be carried in a range of positions. Because the ASP Agent Baton is lightweight and small, it is easily hidden in a pocket or waistband making it an ideal “off-duty” baton.

Sabre Stun Baton
Scare Tactic
The Sabre 500,000 volt Stun Baton measures 13 ¼ inches tall and offers a less-than-lethal, yet painful dose of electrical current. If the visual intimidation caused by the electrical current that flows from probe to probe is not enough of a deterrent, then perhaps the thunderous noise created from those same currents will issue a serious scare tactic to anyone foolish enough to challenge someone holding a Stun Baton. The baton does require a direct contact to the attacker’s torso area, but provides users with an on/off safety switch and separate activation trigger mechanism, operates on two 9V batteries and is equipped with a wrist strap and belt holsters and a two-year warranty.
