Mono-Ball, Rubber Projectile
37/40mm, Short
ALS3701A & ALS4001A
Description: A unique high energy projectile weighting 25 grams. This powerful 45 durometer projectile was designed to engage individuals either by direct, skip or angle rebound firing. This round was designed for single target engagement allowing escalation of force from a safe distance prior to use of lethal means.
History/Background: The MONO-BALL is extremely effective for use in prison cells or rooms with concrete or brick walls where direct fire is not an option due to obstructions to the target. The mono ball can be fired using angle rebound (bank shot) techniques with minimal loss of energy. The MONO-BALL is designed as a direct, skip or angle fire behavior modification round, which is fired using conventional target acquisition techniques. The MONO-BALL can also be skip fired in close proximity situations
Potential Targets/Applications: Individual Targets, Suspect Apprehension, Prison/Civil Rioters, And Animal Control/Conditioning
