Dangerous adversary. Unless quickly dispersed, rioters can inflict personal injury and extensive property damage. Criminals and the criminally insane, barricaded and armed are , a very positive threat to the safety of anyone within range of their weapons. When lesser means have failed, chemical munitions in sufficient quantity can safely enforce meekness on the violence, and establish the control, which will permit routine police action. Teargas properly used is an indivisible, dependable and an effective weapon for law and order. Teargas is a combination of chemicals that produce severe irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, and cause ineffective vision. The person exposed to teargas is supposed to vacate the saturated area, but no permanent resultsty or in effect ill effect results from the exposure. Teargas comes in a variety of containers. Each designed for specific uses. Each contains the same chemical s and is readily identified by its red marking. Other gases are identified by different colors, such as green for sickening gas, which produces nausea and is used in cases of extreme and prolonged resistance. The teargas grenade is effective and otherntrol general use. The jumper repeater grenade is actually three powerful grenades in one and discharges three large blasts of teargas in rapid succession, each from a different location. The 37 millimeter, or 1. 5 caliber gas gun will fire the short range shell used sensibly in riot control. The standard long rage projectile shell, or the super longrange barricade projectile. Because it is designed for use where a high degree of accuracy is required, this projectile is equipped with stabilizing fins. In a special Kit Available for Immediate Use is a complete assortment of gas munitions, including projectiles and grenades. A mask, light, compact and efficient, is mandatory equipment for those who must occupy the area in which gas is to be used. Psychologically important is the fact that teargas itself is invisible. Its difficult to avoid what you cant see. And theres greater fear of a concealed opponent. Lake erie supplies munitions with invisible gas. A smoke grenade is used years of so that the effective area can be identified. If a vapor cloud can be seen, it may also be avoided. Classroom instruction on the use of teargas will provide the student with basic information, but there is no substitute for field training. On the range, practice sessions with a competent instructor will demonstrate how each of the various types of munitions are discharged. Here, the student can appraise their potential. The model 34 instantaneous teargas grenade weighs one pound and is easily tossed 50 or 60 feet. Equipped with an automatic firing mechanism, its gas is discharged in a single blast from vent holes in less than two seconds after it leaves the throwers hands. The discharge immediately empties the container, saturating the area. Because it does not burn, there is no fire hazard and no chance for anyone to pick it up and throw it back. Highly effective in mob control. And it has a variety of uses in evacuating criminals. After the pin is pulled, the grip on the strap handle controls the firing mechanism. When the handle is released in throwing, the grenade is activated. Internal combustion opens the vents, discharging the gas in a single blast. The jumper repeater instantaneous grenade is a result of years of research by Chemical Warfare authority. Its firing mechanism is the same of that as the model 34. The jumper repeater chases the mob or barricaded criminals by discharging in rapid succession, three blasts of concentrated gas from different and unexpected locations, 10 or 12 feet apart, with no risk of fire. The first of blast occurs within two seconds, 40 or 50 feet from the thrower, and blasts follow at one second intervals. Both within four seconds there is an irresistible concentration of gas in three different places from the same container. When the jumper repeater leaps into action, it keeps them guessing and on the move. While similar in appearance, the jumper repeater is somewhat larger than the m34 grenade. Each is identified on its label and full instructions are printed on the containers. In a field demonstration, six smokefilled jumper repeater grenades make an impressive display of saturation. The 37 millimeter or 1. 5 inch caliber and understand longrange projectile shell weighs 22 ounces. Highly effective in riot control , it can be dropped into a mob from a considerable distance. With an effective range of 30 to over ads, it will spew 20 foot circle, six seconds after it leaves the muzzle of a gun. Its aluminum casing opens along a scored line without shattering, eliminating the possibility of injury from flying metal. The 1. 5 inch short range defense shell is used where immediate and direct action is necessary at close range. To avoid possible injury from the wadding contained in the short range shell, the gun should be pointed at the feet of the persons towards whom the gas is directed. Gas is blasted directly from the gun muzzle and is immediately at immediately effective to a distance of 35 feet in still air. At that distance, the gas will spread approximately 15 feet. Again, with the short range shell, the blast is directed at the feet of the crowd. The super longrange barricade gas projectile shell fired from the true flight gun has an effective range of about 200 yards. All of the gas in the projectile is delivered at the target. Since it is released by means of an instantaneous impact fuse. The body of the projectile rips open and gases instantly gas is instantly dispersed. Window targets 50, 75 and 100 yards away are easily hit. A demonstration with a smokefilled shell proves truth like capacity for saturation. The projectile has sufficient weight and velocity to penetrate whiteboard partitions. With such power it is of course a Lethal Weapon and if directly fired at a person might cause serious injury or death. There is no fire hazard involved in this use of lake erie grenades and projectiles. Gas is instantaneously discharged as a nonflammable vapor and cannot cause fire. The gas mask is essential equipment for those who must occupy the area where teargas is present. Light and compact, its rubberized face piece fits snugly without irritation. Large, shatterproof lenses are deflector tubes that prevent fogging. The aluminum canister provides a large surface area for easy breathing. The wearer is able to move into contaminated areas without ill effect. With air will drift currents, it is important to consider wind conditions in the field and to use these air currents towards advantages. Smokefilled munitions are used against her that we may easily follow the drift of the vapor cloud. On a windy day and a large open area, teargas may be carried in the air a considerable distance from the point of discharge. If existing wind conditions are appraised, gas can be released many yards from the theet zone and moved into area where its effects are needed. This smoke cloud simulates the movement of gas is vapor carrying its potent effect into the target area. On a still day, in the same location, the gas cloud tends to hover in the area where it is released. In a closed building, teargas will remain effective for a few days or until dissipated by ventilation. When pursued criminals or persons escaping from custody seek refuge in abandoned buildings and other hiding places, valuable time can be saved and the risk of life minimized with the proper use of teargas. After officers are deployed to cover possible routes of escape, teargas will reduce the hazard of making the arrest. Behind prison walls is the latent threat of violence. Trouble can erupt with little warning in a quiet prison yard. Angry mobs may then be controlled without injury through the irresistible authority of teargas. In the case of armed barricaded criminals, the objective is to get them out in the open, sufficiently disabled so that they can be apprehended with a minimum of danger to others. Some battles in such cases involve serious risks of the lives of officers and bystanders. When the situation calls for teargas, it should be readily available. Many Law Enforcement agencies provide each patrol unit with teargas munitions for every emergency or have a specially trained gas squad ready for immediate assignment. Since the specific purpose of tear gas is to cause evacuation, avenues of exit for the criminals must be considered. Officers should be deployed so that they can cover the exit route. No human being can voluntarily remain in premises saturated with teargas. In this simulated riot, and in every case where it has been decided that teargas will be employed, it should be an allout effort to control disruptive injury. The area to be covered determines the amount of gas which will be used. The most Effective Practice is to get a heavy concentration of gas to the point desired in the shortest possible time. The gas must be instantly and positively effective and not easily avoided. Teargas will cause movement away from the area it covers, and the route of escape should be provided by the placement of the gas. The grenades and projectiles immediately saturate the target area without prior hazard. The possibility of picking up in an extended missile and throwing it back or tampering with it in any way is eliminated. Since all of the gas has been discharged and is at work where it is needed. Training is essential to the success of teargas operations and lake erie distributors are ready to help in the training program. In the classroom and in the field, officers should be properly instructed in the use of munitions and equipment. From gas supplies on hand, which have reached the three year expiration date, munitions may be drawn for field exercises for all personnel. When the situation calls for teargas, it should be used efficiently and in enough quantity to assure complete saturation. Properly used, it is the safest and most humane deterrent to violent and resistance to lawful authority. There is a lake erie grenade or readyfor every problem, to provide in an instant, adequate amounts of powerful and effective gas to control and disburse the riotous mob or evacuate the barricaded criminal
