The present invention provides a capsicum containing lachrymator. The lachrymator comprises a nonflammable carrier and capsicum. The nonflammable carrier comprises propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol and water. In one preferred embodiment the lachrymator comprises about 0.3 percent by weight capsicum, about 14.7 percent by weight propylene glycol, about 35 percent by weight ethyl alcohol and about 50 percent by weight water.

Capsicum lachrymator

A flameless tear gas grenade characterized by a container containing a powdered agent and having container outlets, a cartridge filled with pressurized gas positioned within the container, and a releasing mechanism for releasing the pressurized gas from the cartridge to expel the powdered agent out through the container outlets.

Flameless expulsion grenade

Stun grenade includes a steel housing having a steel tubular body with steel end members brazed to the ends of the tubular body, and a brass collar member threadably received in a threaded central opening in one of the end members for supporting an explosive charge in the housing. At the inner end of the collar member is a cylindrical portion to which a tubular container filled with the explosive charge is attached. The outer diameter of the tubular container is less than the minimum diameter of the threaded opening in the one end member to permit the tubular container to be inserted through the threaded opening while attached to the collar member. At the outer end of the collar member is a threaded recess for threaded receipt of a fuse member externally of the housing. A flash hole in the collar member directs a flash which is produced when the fuse member is activated into the tubular container to ignite the explosive charge.
