12 GAUGE – BEAN BAG AMMUNITION

12 GAUGE – BEAN BAG AMMUNITION

The work horse less lethal 12 gauge cartridge used by law enforcement is the “Bean Bag” they are used for crowd control, animal control, SWAT and patrol applications. They are intended for use with pump shotguns with smooth or rifled barrels. They can be fired from semi-automatic shotguns but must be manually cycled. The 2” x 2” square bag with a rifled barrel is a good option when used at minimal ranges as the bag opens quickly and has a wide foot print. The accuracy with a rifled barrel is good up to 50 feet. The MK II Aero –Drag Stabilized and Aero-Sock and Improved Aero-sock give the best performance from a smooth bore shotgun.

FLEXIBLE BATON –12 CLOSE RANGE

The FLEXIBLE BATON-12, Close Range cartridge is loaded with a 2” x 2” square bean bag. It is designed for close range encounters (Operational Range 10-50 feet). It can be fired from a smooth or rifled barrel.

FLEXIBLE BATON-12, STANDARD (Rifled Barrel Use Only)

The FLEXIBLE BATON-12, Standard cartridge is loaded with 2” x 2” square bean bag. It has an operational range of 20-50 feet when used with a rifled barrel and 30-75 feet with a smooth barrel . The bag is colored red for ease of identification.

Projectile Weight : 40 Grams Muzzle Velocity: 280 FPS

MK II MOD 0 AERO-DRAG STABILIZED

The MK II Aero-Drag Stabilized is loaded with a bean bag fabricated from 2 layers of MIL-C-7350G

Parachute Nylon and an elastomeric liner. The bag is designed to expand on impact to increase the area of contact. Its aerodynamic shape and method of construction makes this a very accurate round.

MK II MOD 1 AERO-DRAG STABILIZED -TRAINING

The MK II MOD 1 Aero-Drag Stabilized is loaded with a bean bag of knitted construction and an elastomeric liner. The cartridge is designed as a low cost training round so it can be used on a one to one basis for the Def-Tec 23DS, AERO SOCK or CTS-Super Sock in training as it is comparable in accuracy.

AERO-SOCK - DRAG STABILIZED BEAN BAG

The Aero-Sock is loaded with a Knit fabric bag that is equal in performance to the CTS and Defense Technology drag stabilized bean bags. This cartridge gives uniform velocities and is therefore very accurate. It gives good expansion, exceeding the LAPD expansion requirements.

QT-4 AERO-SOCK

Patent Pending

This improved version of the Aero-Sock has a bore riding tail stabilizer that reduces friction in the bore and quickly stabilizes the projectile as the tail deploys immediately at the muzzle. It is very accuratre and the material expands on impact. NOTE: Rifled barrels will cause the projectile to expand to Approx 2 inches for maximum energy dispersal. However, this reduces effective range due to increased ballistic drag

Aero –Sock Impact on Ballistic Gelatin Shows A 2.0 Inch Diameter Impact.

This shot was fired from a Rifled Ithaca Shot Gun and the projectile bounced off. When fired from a smooth bore shot gun the projectile

Penetrated slightly in the block of gelatin and bounced off. Both Shots at

20 feet. This is a superb less lethal projectile.

DYNAMIC IMPACT HIGH SPEED VIDEO

These panels show the impact of a Aero Drag/Sock type projectile and a 2”x 2” Square bean bag fired from a rifled barrel. The target was a Spar Pro Anatomical Dummy. A high speed video was used to capture the impact . The times correspond to milliseconds after impact. You can see the expansion and energy transfer of the Aero-Drag Stabilized. You can also see the square bag coming in flat fully open in frame one. Note The energy transfer of the bags as demonstrated by the collapse of the abdomen.
