The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a very effective distraction/diversion device. The ALSG101 Hornets Nest is designed to minimize injuries caused by the separation of the body. This device is segmented to 12 sections instead of the two used in other diversionary devices. HISTORY & BACKGROUND The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE was developed as a behavior modification device for use in a variety of applications. POTENTIAL TARGETS & APPLICATIONS Prison/Civil Rioters MECHANISM / TECHNOLOGY The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a non-reusable rubber filled grenade filled with approximately 60 .45 caliber rubber balls and .03 oz. of OC, CS or OC/CS surrounding an explosive charge. The fuse is ejected by a separate charge after activation eliminating the only metal portion of the grenade prior to the detonation and expulsion of the rubber projectiles in a 360 degree radius. The chemical blast dispersion round is designed to cause disorientation through a tearing and burning sensation in the eyes, involuntary closing of the eyes (blepharospam), violent coughing, shortness of breath (dyspnea) and is an irritant to exposed skin surfaces. The Hornets Nest is designed to result in behavior modifications or retreat away from officers or immediate response to issued commands. PHYSICAL DATA Size: 3.125 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS When detonated, the explosive blasts the rubber balls out in a 360 degree radius which should be thrown to cover an area 7 to 25 feet from the epicenter. Projectiles may carry up to 150 feet from the epicenter. Proper application of this behavior modification munition will significantly increase the security of a prison, jail or otherwise sensitive area. DELIVERY MEANS Hand thrown or launched. OPERATIONAL STRENGTHS No additional equipment required for hand thrown. See launchers for launching cups. OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS Both minimal and maximum ranges should be established by test firings conducted at each installation, depending upon tactical conditions and security requirements of each user. Higher power factors may produce lethal trauma when vital areas are struck and energy imparted exceeds 90 foot pounds by causing massive skull fractures, rupture of vital organs, heart compression and/or serious skin lacerations. Normal use may result in contusions, abrasions, broken ribs, concussions and damage to eyes.
