20 Gauge Pepper Muzzle

High-Performance Muzzle Round for Controlled Crowd Management

The 20 Gauge Pepper Muzzle is a special, less-lethal round that fires a fast burst of pepper powder (OC). This round helps police, correctional officers, and border patrol teams stop aggressive crowds without causing serious injury.

It is for close-range use, particularly in tight areas such as hallways, jail cells, buses, or small rooms. When fired, the round releases a cloud of OC powder from the front (muzzle) of a launcher. 

The OC powder causes burning eyes, coughing, and confusion for a short time, giving officers time to take control without using force or causing permanent harm.

What Makes It Effective?

The 20-gauge pepper muzzle works very well in situations where quick action is needed. It is to stop the crowd safely.  It doesn’t spread the powder too far, so it avoids affecting bystanders. This makes it ideal for officers working in tight spaces or around crowds. Unlike tear gas, this round doesn’t linger in the air for a long time. It creates a fast, direct blast and quickly settles. This helps keep the environment safe for officers and others nearby.

How does it work?

The round is fired from a 20-gauge less-lethal launcher. Once triggered, it releases a measured amount of OC (pepper) powder. This powder affects the eyes, nose, and throat, causing temporary discomfort and making the subject stop and comply. The effects typically subside after a short time and do not result in long-term injuries. This function makes the 20 Gauge Pepper Muzzle an excellent option for human rights-compliant enforcement.  
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 product is best for law enforcement teams that need a fast, less-lethal option for dealing with:
  • Riots and public unrest
  • Inmate or prisoner control
  • Border and checkpoint incidents
  • Arrest situations where the crowd refuse to comply
  • Crowd control in small indoor spaces

    • Whether you are facing one aggressive person or a small group, the 20 Gauge Pepper Muzzle gives officers the power to act without causing long-term harm.
