Close-Quarters OC Spray Gun
Sheriff Dept.’s less lethal solution for jail’s most violent offenders!
OC (Oleoresin Capsaicin) spray dispensers have been in LE since the late 1980’s. Their wide use enabled any street police officer to carry a less-lethal weapon ready on their belt in addition to the traditional baton. Much effort has been expended to offer even more effective options to LE in intermediate weaponry. Batons have been made collapsible to ensure they were always carried. Tasers were redesigned for more effective use and smaller in size. Lastly, OC products were improved to increase their effectiveness. OC delivery systems have ranged in size from the two-ounce belt-carried units to fire-extinguisher-size dispenser for riot control or barricaded suspects. Paintball-type liquid and powder OC rounds have been developed that combine kinetic energy impact munitions with the debilitating effects of the pepper. Most of us thought we’d seen pretty much the gamut of OC products—that is, until Kimber introduced the JPX Jet Protector.
Kimber, the maker of fine handguns, shotguns and rifles is now in the less-lethal market, importing the JPX from Piexon AG of Switzerland. According to Piexon, they hold patents in high-pressure impulse fire extinguishers as well as chemical irritant systems such as the JPX unit for uniformed police and the Guardian Angel unit for plainclothes officers or civilians.
