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 temporarily. Depending on the projectile used, it can also, in addition to the initial impact, release a washable or indelible paint or a substance with an irritant effect.
Completely dedicated to reducing lethality, the basis of the FN 303 concept lies in its unique projectiles. These .68 caliber, 8.5 gram projectiles utilize a fin-stabilized polystyrene body and a non-toxic bismuth forward payload to provide more accuracy and greater effective range than other less lethal systems. The primary effect of the projectile is trauma, which directly neutralizes the aggressor. Secondary effects from the projectiles can be delivered via a chemical payload depending on mission requirements.
