Barricade OC/CS Projectile,
12 Gauge
Description: A penetrating 12 gauge round which fires a 125-grain, 80 durometer, OC or CS filled rubber projectile. This round was designed to punch through and introduce the chemical upon hitting a hard surface ie. dry wall, concrete, glass masonite, or hollow core doors. This round was designed to be fired through dry wall or glass and not to be fired directly at individuals.
History/Background: The Barricade OC/CS PROJECTILE was developed to provide a non-pyrotechnic means of introducing small but effective amounts of OC/CS into a confined space. The 1216P is designed to induce behavior modification when an individual is not directly in line of fire and conventional target acquisition techniques are not conducive to the operation.
Potential Targets/Applications: Individual Targets, Suspect Apprehension, Prison/Civil Rioters,
Primary Users: Law Enforcement, Military.
Incapacitation Mechanism/Technology: The 1216P fires a 125-grain polymer projectile, producing incapacitation by introducing Oleoresin Capsicum, or CS, which is designed to cause disorientation through a tearing and burning sensation in the eyes, involuntary closing of the eyes (blepharospam), violent coughing, shortness of breath (dyspnea) and is an irritant to exposed skin surfaces.
Physical Data:
A. Size: Length= 2.5 inch, 12 gauge SAAMI specification
B. Weight: 125 grains or 8.25 grams
C. Payload: 2 Grams OC powder
D. Power Requirements: None
Performance Characteristics:
A. Effect on target: Incapacitation caused by loss of breath, psychological effect, and/or pain and extreme discomfort to respiratory system.
B. Time to Effect: Instantaneous
C. Duration of Effect: Seconds to Minutes based on power factor, distance and location of strike.
D. Effective Range: 2 yards to 25 yards
Delivery Means: 12 gauge shotgun, cylinder bore required. (check with accompanying go/nogo gauge)
Operational Strengths: Most officers are trained with the use of 12 gauge. Uses standard issue weapons, requires no special equipment.
