12 Gauge WASP

Safer Control with Strong Performance

The 12-Gauge WASP is a less-lethal rubber round made to safely stop threats, control aggressive behaviour, and restore order during tense or violent situations. It provides a substantial, non-penetrating impact that causes pain and compliance without long-term injury.

This round is part of the WASP technology series designed with enhanced weight balance and wide-area force dispersion. That means it hits hard enough to stop an assailant but spreads energy on impact to avoid breaking the skin or bones.

The 12-gauge WASP rubber round is used by law enforcement, correctional teams, and defence forces across Canada and beyond. It works in all environments, both indoors and outdoors, in hot or cold conditions, and provides reliable results under pressure.

WASP stands for Wide Area Saturation Projectile. Unlike traditional rubber bullets, WASP rounds spread their force across a wider area when they hit a target.  This function makes these rounds significantly safer to use in real-world scenarios, such as crowd control, protests, prison riots, or volatile arrests. The 12-gauge WASP shotgun shell contains a soft but solid rubber payload that causes temporary pain, confusion, and immobilization, giving officers time to take control safely.
