Hornet's Nest Sting Grenade
with OC, CS, or OC/CS
Description: By scientifically combining the powerful concussive effects of a significant propelling charge of low explosive with the painful impact potential of approximately 60 .45 caliber rubber balls. The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a very effective distraction/diversion device. The ALSG101 Hornets Nest is designed to minimize injuries caused by the separation of the body. This device is segmented to 12 sections instead of the two used in other diversionary devices.
History/Background: The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE was developed as a behavior modification device for use in a variety of applications.
Potential Targets/Applications: Prison/Civil Rioters
Primary Users: Law Enforcement, Military
Incapacitation Mechanism/Technology: The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a non-reusable rubber filled grenade filled with approximately 60 .45 caliber rubber balls and .03 oz. of OC, CS or OC/CS surrounding an explosive charge. The fuse is ejected by a separate charge after activation eliminating the only metal portion of the grenade prior to the detonation and expulsion of the rubber projectiles in a 360° degree radius. The chemical blast dispersion round 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. The Hornets Nest is designed to result in behavior modifications or retreat away from officers or immediate response to issued commands.
Physical Data: 3.125 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height
Performance Characteristics: When detonated, the explosive blasts the rubber balls out in a 360° degree radius which should be thrown to cover an area 7 to 25 feet from the epicenter. Projectiles may carry up to 150 feet from the epicenter. Proper application of this behavior modification munition will significantly increase the security of a prison, jail or otherwise sensitive area.
Delivery Means: Hand thrown or launched.
Operational Strengths: No additional equipment required for hand thrown. See launchers for launching cups.
