PepperBall VKS Launcher
POW! you're...not dead. But down. Courtesy of the PepperBall VKS Launcher, a non-lethal gun created for self defense, and law enforcement and military training.
The PepperBall Variable Kinetic System Launcher shoots a few different types of .68-caliber projectiles, with an adjustable kinetic impact of between 10 and 28 joules. PepperBall's VXR projectiles also have an accurate firing distance of up to 150'. PepperBall brand creator, United Tactical Systems, says the "VKS Launcher is PepperBall's strongest non-lethal weapon available in the market to date."
During use, the VKS Launcher can draw from 2 different types of air sources to extend time and functionality in the field: the yellow Launcher's HPA buttstock, which holds a 13 cubic inch tank; or a remote air line that connects to a secondary, larger tank.
