While for most of its existence FN Herstal has been involved with traditional firearms, for both defence and security purposes, the company identified an opening in the market in the early 2000s for a less lethal capability.
Accordingly, FN Herstal developed a family of impact projectiles that would deliver a sufficiently dissuasive level of pain within the impact zone to temporarily neutralize a suspect with minimum risk of causing a penetrating injury or collateral damage. The latest configuration incorporates advanced technologies that significantly improve safety by reducing the risk of unintentional headshots and enable the recording of the scene.
