PepperBall, a division of United Tactical Systems LLC, has introduced its next-generation less-lethal system. Called "VKS", for Variable Kinetic Speed," it provides multi-mission capability and variable payloads in a single M4-styled platform. Projectiles deployed with the VKS have a variable kinetic impact of between 13 and 30 Joules with extended range and precision accuracy. Target accuracy is 120 feet utilizing PepperBall's patented VXR fin-stabilized projectiles, with area saturation available to over 200 feet. The VKS comes standard with a Picatinny rail mount to allow for easy mounting of optional tactical lights, laser sights, optics, or cameras.
