Pepperball Launchers are designed as less lethal weapons for use in a wide variety of tactical applications encountered within law enforcement. They may be used as an area treatment device to deploy chemical agents upon resistive suspects or as a direct fire weapon on assaultive/high risk suspects. The intended target zone for the Pepperball Launcher is low center mass, unless the situation dictates otherwise.
Caution shall be used when using nylon glass breaking balls. Each nylon round shall be loaded individually into the breach of an SA200 Pepperball Launcher. The nylon round shall not be fired from any other Pepperball platform unless exigent circumstances exist to justify the use of the alternative Pepperball platform.
Pepperball platforms shall not be altered or modified in any way without the expressed consent of the sergeant in charge of the Tactics and Survival (TAS) Unit. Only approved rounds shall be fired in this weapon. All repairs to the weapon shall be made by a unit level or above, certified armorer or factory armorer.
