Pepper Deployment for Safe & Less-Lethal Crowd Control

The 12 Gauge Pepper Muzzle is a compact and practical less-lethal round designed to release a focused burst of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) powder from the muzzle of a standard 12-gauge shotgun. 

With 6 grams of OC powder, a total weight of 12 grams, and a 2.75-inch shell height, this round is ideal for close-range use where fast action and low residual impact are required.

This round is commonly used by law enforcement, correctional officers, and border patrol units for crowd control, compliance with suspects, or cell extraction. 

It temporarily disables or disorients a threat without causing permanent injury, making it a trusted product for government agencies seeking safe and ethical options for crowd control and public order.

Designed for Rapid Response
This 12-gauge pepper muzzle delivers OC in a tight, controlled cloud that spreads instantly upon firing.  It affects the eyes, nose, and respiratory system, causing temporary irritation, coughing, and vision impairment, allowing officers the critical seconds needed to take control of a situation without resorting to deadly force. Unlike pepper spray canisters or aerosol devices, this OC round is launched directly from a 12-gauge shotgun, providing greater range, precision, and officer safety in tense or severe environments.
Safer OC Deployment, Greater Control
Unlike traditional tear gas or aerosol pepper sprays, the 12-Gauge Pepper Muzzle delivers a precise and targeted OC burst directly in front of the barrel. There’s no uncontrolled spread or lingering fog, which means:
  • Less contamination of the environment
  • Reduced exposure to officers and non-targets
  • Cleaner debriefing and safer exits post-engagement
For law enforcement officers working in confined environments, such as prison cells, transport vehicles, or hallways, this design offers the advantage of quick results without collateral risk or damage.
The key benefits of the 12-gauge pepper muzzle include:
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all standard 12-gauge shotgun shells.
  • Close-Quarters Ready: Ideal for operations in confined or tight spaces.
  • Safe Impact: Minimal risk of long-term injury.
  • Indoor Safe: Low residue makes it suitable for indoor use.
  • Controlled Dispersion: Releases OC directly at the muzzle, not into the air.
This round is applicable in the following situations:
  • Correctional facility intervention.s
  • Cell extractions and inmate control.
  • Border enforcement and crowd dispersal.
  • Riot control in tight urban zones.
  • Suspect compliance in vehicles or stairwells.
Its compact size and low weight make it especially useful in handheld 12-gauge launchers or shotguns where speed and balance are crucial.
