ABOUT FN303 LESS-LETHAL PROJECTILES
FN Herstal now offers two types of projectile for the FN303 Less-Lethal launcher. The PAVA projectile (Pelargonic Acid Vanillyamid) is a powder pepper projectile that can be used when an enclosed room needs to be saturated with pepper, enabling law enforcement officers to neutralize suspects more easily. The PAVA projectile is an improved version of the previous OC projectile and features a longer shelf life. An inert powder projectile has also been added to the FN303 projectile range. It allows the users to train with powder projectiles without suffering from pepper effects.
Both the PAVA and the inert powder projectiles have similar impact effect as the other existing FN303 projectiles – impact effect only, impact effect and temporary marking, and impact effect and permanent marking.
ABOUT THE LESS-LETHAL LAUNCHER
Introduced in the early 2000s, the FN303 Less Lethal launcher allows neutralization and apprehension of suspects with maximum effectiveness and minimum risk. It has been designed to shoot non-lethal projectiles only.
The FN303 is used in many military and law enforcement missions, such as domestic violence intervention, surveillance and protection of sensitive areas, and crowd control, to name just a few.
