The FN303™ less lethal launcher : a viable option to lethal force

The world is changing. Keeping the peace requires new tactics and equipment specifically designed for crowd control.

To meet these new requirements, FN HERSTAL now introduces the FN303 less lethal launcher. The first launcher to be fully developed around the "reduced lethality" concept, the FN303 allows neutralization and seizure of suspects with maximum effectiveness and minimum risk.

BENEFITS EFFICIENT Guarantees a maximum of effects on impact. The 29 J kinetic impact shock instantly stops the subject. DEDICATION TO No confusion possible as the FN303 has been designed LESS LETHALITY to shoot exclusively less-lethal projectiles.. USER-FRIENDLY Easy to use, with little recoil, it allows faster reaction under stress. SHORT SAFETY Low risk of permanent injuries even at very short range. DISTANCE (1m) FLEXIBLE With its broad range of ammunition and accessories, it is a solution for any scenario where less lethal force is an option. BETTER ACCURACY Effective range = 50m Maximum range = up to 100m. INCREASES Possibility to control even multiple violent suspects while LAW ENFORCEMENT safely remaining out of reach OFFICERS' SAFETY

A true compromise between accuracy, efficiency and safety

The FN303 should be used according to rules and procedures described in the operator's manual. Sales of this product are restricted to military and law enforcement agencies

Projectiles

The projectiles have been designed especially to break up on impact, eliminating risks of penetrating injuries. Thanks to their fin stabilized design, the projectiles have an effective range of 50m with a much higher hit probability than any other similar product.

The primary effect is trauma : the shock (15J/cm³) directly neutralizes the aggressor. Secondary effects will be delivered by a chemical payload chosen according to the mission requirements

All .68" projectiles have a 8.5g weight, a polystyrene body and a granular non-toxic bismuth forward payload

Impact Washable paint Indelible paint OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) Rear payload : Rear payload : Rear payload : Rear payload : 100% non toxic glycol base Fluorescent pink pigment Latex based polymeric paint Orange dyed non-toxic in non toxic glycol base Cleaning : water + soap glycol base + 5% OC

For safety reasons, never aim towards face, throat or neck. The FN 303 projectiles should never be used with another launcher.
