Barricade OC/CS Projectile,
40 mm
LS4227(CS), ALS4262(OC), ALS4247(Inert)
  
Description: A 40 mm cartridge designed to fire a Non-pyrotechnic 55-gram two part spin stabilized projectile filled with OC or CS. This round permits the Non-pyrotechnic introduction of chemicals into areas with potential fire hazards The projectile is designed to be fired through Dry wall, Hollow core doors, or glass. This round is not to be fired at individuals .
History/Background: The Barricade OC/CS projectile was developed to overcome the shortcomings of introducing Irritant chemicals into fire hazards i.e., Meth labs, and areas were gasoline or other accelerants are stored without utilizing a heat-generating canister, from an extended range. The ALS 4247 is an inert version used for training purposes.
Potential Targets/Applications: Individual Targets, Suspect Apprehension, Prison/Civil Rioters, And Animal Control/Conditioning.
Incapacitation Mechanism: The ALS4227/ ALS4262 fires a 55-gram projectile, which contains approximately 12 grams of irritant. The projectile starts separating on impact with a hard surface and disperses the micropulvorized powders causing Blepharospasm (uncontrolled reflexive blinking and or closing of the eye lid) reducing vision and Dyspena (a perceived shortness of breath)
Primary Users: Law Enforcement, Military.

A. Size: Length= 40 MM
B. Power Requirements: None
Performance Characteristics:
A. Effect on target: Incapacitation caused by loss of breath, psychological effect, and/or pain and extreme discomfort.
B. Time to Effect: Instantaneous
C. Duration of Effect: Seconds to Minutes based on power factor, distance and location of strike.
D. Effective Range: Up to 50 yards
Delivery Means: 40 MM Launcher.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Never aim at an individual or at a group of individuals. Launchable or hand thrown ammunition can cause contusions, abrasions, broken ribs, concussions, loss of eyes, superficial organ damage, serious skin lacerations massive skull fractures, rupture of the heart or kidney, fragmentation of the liver, hemorrhages and/or death. Medical assistance should be available immediately after an actual deployment of a less lethal munition even if no physical injuries appear on subject or subjects. Pyrotechnic chemical munitions should not be launched or thrown onto roofs, into rooms, dry foliage or similar environments without fire suppression equipment being readily available.
