    Used correctly by an experienced, trained, operator, this weapon is the most effective less lethal weapon on the market today. Used by the military in current operations.

    I use it once on a suicidal suspect with a knife and even though only 4 out of the 10 liquid OC rounds opened on impact with his thigh it was enough to get him to drop the knife and he was taken into custody without incident. Also very effective visually as most suspects dont have a clue what this tool can do and it is pretty intimidating. I havent had the opportunity to try the new powder OC rounds.

    I personaly observed this weapon being utilized on a mental subject that was in a barricaded position with a hostage. The 303 was deployed and the situation was placed back under control in a matter of seconds. This weapon is very effective and limits liability to officers.

    I have seen this weapon in action and it is very effective. It causes mininmal injury and scares the hell out of who it is being deployed on. Never seen the OC rounds used, but the paint rounds leave a nice little strawberry. Oh yeah, the subject that got hit with this also got tazed!

    I shot this a few days ago. (practice) Simple to use, light weight, and extremely accurate. You can fill the projectiles with OC or tear gas.

    I used this in Iraq in the detention facality, and it works great up close, anything over 25 meters it is more of an annoyance to whomever gets hit, I'll still leave a mark, but not as good as up close. It is very accurate, I was hitting targets out to 100 M, but if its a soft target, the rounds don't usually break, they just fall from the target.

    Great product! I've used the FN303 "on the street" and as a riot control device several times and have been very pleased with the results. Since the FN303 isn't a firearm, I have also brought it into the City Jail, where its mere presence tamed the situation without a shot being fired.
