Shield Defense Corporation has received, tested, and accepted the final prototype of its Python Non-lethal Pistol and Carbine.
Shield Defense Corporation's non-lethal defense product portfolio includes the Cobra StunLight, a revolutionary ruggedized flashlight that instantly illuminates, targets, and launches a laser-aimed stream of chemical agent that temporarily blinds and incapacitates an assailant at distances up to 21 feet and the new Python Non-lethal Projectile Launching System incorporating a versatile pistol/carbine combination and using the U.S. Navy's patented non-lethal projectiles.
The Python Projectile Launcher system has been developed to utilize the U.S. Navy's patented non-lethal frangible projectile system that has been exclusively licensed to the Company for the life of the patent. The Python Projectile Launcher can easily be converted from a Pistol to the Carbine configuration in the field within a matter of minutes. The Python Pistol magazine holds 10 projectiles and the Carbine configuration contains 180 projectiles. The Python launcher has an exceptional range and accuracy, striking a 9-inch circle at distances of more than 40 feet.
"To provide our customers with a superior self-defense solution that provides exceptional precision and accuracy, we designed both products, the Python Projectile Launcher and Cobra StunLight, with an integrated laser-aiming device built in," stated Captain Dennis Cole, President of Shield Defense Corporation.
"Professional and consumer markets are increasingly demanding more effective methods to defuse civil unrest and subdue criminals without causing permanent injury to police officers or innocent bystanders. Our non-lethal products range from everyday use products such as the CobraStunlight to our specialty use products, the Python Pistol and Carbine. Our products enable law enforcement and the military to perform their duties, while reducing the risk to themselves, citizens and suspects," commented Mr. Cole.
"Non-lethal and less-lethal weapons have finally come of age. The conflict in Iraq, conflicts in Kosovo, and civil disturbances in hundreds of countries are driving the demand for effective alternative use of force products that are non-lethal, effective and humanitarian," added Michael Skellern, CEO of Universal Guardian Holdings. "We expect to have our non-lethal products internationally available by early July 2004. We are also in the process of completing projectile contract manufacturing arrangements in Asia and Mexico for international projectile distribution."
