FN-303® LESS-LETHAL LAUNCHER

FN 303® Less Lethal: The Right Level of Response, in service on the five continents, within law enforcement units, special units, and military forces.

Law enforcement forces facing aggressive, violent or hostile people must be able to react with a proportional response. The use of lethal force is the last resort. Between the baton and firearms, less lethal systems are the intermediate solution.

For over a decade, FN Herstal has been a leader in less lethal systems with its FN 303®. The FN 303® system is designed around an impact projectile combined with a dedicated shoulder-fired or compact launcher. It is used by many security forces worldwide for temporary neutralization of suspects with maximum effectiveness and minimum risk of serious injury or collateral damage

Projectiles

The FN 303® projectile has been specifically designed to ensure optimum accuracy with maximum effectiveness and minimum risk. It delivers a sufficiently dissuasive level of pain within the projectile's impact zone to disable targets. Depending on the selected projectile, it can also, in addition to the initial impact, release a washable/indelible paint or a substance with an irritating effect.

All the projectiles have the same trajectory and the same point of impact.
