The Phazzer Raptor is a new projectile launching less-lethal weapon designed to replicate nearly every feature and function of the M4/M16 family of combat rifles, including trigger pull and trigger reset, balance and natural point of aim, as well as reloading and field-stripping procedures. It can launch projectiles to mark or incapacitate a suspect at up to 50 meters away.

Like an AR-style rifle the Phazzer Raptor features standard tactical rails for mounting scopes, illuminators, lasers, and other devices. It also can be fitted with the Phazzer Enforcer CEW. The Phazzer Enforcer can be attached to the lower front rail mount to give operators multiple less-lethal options on the same platform.
