ABSTRACT:
A less than lethal chemical apparatus that can be fitted to conventional handguns and rifles without requiring major modification of the weapons and yet fits within the profile of the weapons framework. The invention features a chassis containing a chemical module that can house MACE or other incapacitating chemical agents such as tear gas that can be mounted in various positions, depending on the weapon selected. For a handgun, the chassis mounts on the front face of the muzzle. The weapons factory installed hand grips are replaced by modified hand grips that contain electronic controls, water proof activation switches, and a power source. The hand grips are wired to the chassis via a flexible internal circuits. The apparatus can also be activated at a distance from the firearm using an infrared activation control.
