12-Gauge Peacekeeper<br />
Manufacturer: Technical Solutions Group, Inc.<br />
Approximate Cost: $4.00<br />
Participating Services/Agencies: Coast Guard<br />
Description: This fixed round <strong>of</strong> less-lethal ammunition consists <strong>of</strong> a plastic hull shell case <strong>and</strong><br />
a steel case base containing a propelling charge <strong>and</strong> percussion primer. A cylindrical elastomer<br />
projectile body is fitted in the hull with a plastic wad spacer. The projectile contains a nontoxic<br />
liquid dye. The Coast Guard is working with the manufacturer to develop an oleoresin capsicum<br />
(pepper spray) powder fill for this round that will enable the munition to precisely deliver an<br />
incapacitating riot control agent at an extended range.<br />
Operational Capability/Use: This round is designed to provide temporary incapacitation<br />
through kinetic energy impact <strong>and</strong> to mark the target.<br />
