The ALS4227 is a 40mm barricade penetrator designed with a two-part spin stabilized cartridge that breaches through dry wall, hollow core doors, or glass, and disperses an irritant into the area.

Inert rounds are also available for training.

Designed for indoor use, the OC-Vapor (OCV) System Grenade discharges a non-visible vapor with a level 1, 1.33 percent major capsaicinoids pungency. The primary effects of the OCV include shortness of breath, as well as pain and discomfort. With a net weight of 12.5 ounces, the nonflammable, non-contaminating system dispenses in half-second to one-second bursts, with a total of six to eight one-second bursts per grenade. The unit has a range of six to eight feet and also can be used in the aerosol category by incorporating a hose and wand.[PAGEBREAK]

Each removable JPX magazine contains two self-cleaning charges of flame-resistant liquid capsaicin or dye marker that can be fired up to 23 feet through an integrated nozzle. Available in orange or black frames, the JPX reloads quickly and features open sights, a 10 milliliter filling volume, and a Mil-Spec rail for accessory attachment.[PAGEBREAK]
