Kinetic Impact
Kinetic impact refers to the impact of a projectile as a result of the force with which it is fired. Gas guns have a greater muzzle velocity to project the pepper rounds, and offer a longer-range, more user-friendly way to disperse the pepper rounds. This also ensures that the pepper rounds hits – and stops – a target in his tracks.

Psychological Shock
The psychological shock of hearing shots fired, combined with the kinetic impact of the pepper ball projectiles contributes to the effect of the pepper rounds.

Sensory incapacitation
By infiltrating the sensory system of an assailant, the capsaicin powder incapacitates an assailant for up to 20 to 45 minutes. For that period, an assailant’s lung capacity, breathing, and sight are severely compromised.

The pepper rounds are also an irritant to the skin, nose and eyes. The physiological impact on an assailant includes coughing uncontrollably, an intense burning sensation in the eyes and on the skin, and, in some instances, vomiting.

The combination of these three – kinetic impact, psychological shock and sensory incapacitation – effectively immobilizes a suspect, allowing adequate time for the suspect to be apprehended.
