37 mm Aerial Burst Pepper
Wide-Area Deployment for Area Denial and Crowd Dispersal
The 37mm Aerial Burst Pepper is a less-lethal munition designed for the deployment of long-range OC (oleoresin capsicum) powder. This round bursts mid-air, releasing a concentrated cloud of organic pepper across a wide radius.
It is highly effective in riot control, protest dispersal, and perimeter defence where controlling multiple individuals at once is necessary without engaging in direct contact.
This round is used with any 37mm munitions launcher and is best suited for instances or scenarios where distance, coverage, and area denial are the priorities.
The pepper used is organic and safe but causes intense irritation to the eyes, nose, and respiratory system, encouraging rapid dispersal and compliance without lasting harm.

The 37mm Aerial Burst Pepper is for law enforcement teams who need to control or clear large groups without physical engagement. When fired, the round travels a set distance and then bursts overhead, releasing a dense cloud of pepper powder over a broad area.This round is used in:
- Public disorder and riots
- Hostile protester management
- Perimeter control for government buildings
- Roadblocks and checkpoint enforcement
- Border control and security zones
