Pepper Grenade Duke Pepper Storm Tripwire Kit

Duke Pepper Storm Tripwire Kit is a pepper defence grenade with Tripwire activation, combining an intense acoustic effect with the dispersal of an irritating powder charge. Compared to the manually activated version, it uses a cord-trigger mechanism and operates with an approximately 1-second delay after activation. It then produces an acoustic signal with a volume of approximately 158 dB while simultaneously dispersing the irritant into the surrounding area.

35 g of irritant charge

Inside the container, there is a 35 g powder charge containing 5% active capsaicinoids from OC with 96% purity. These capsaicinoids are responsible for the strong irritant effect, particularly on the eyes, respiratory tract and skin.

After activation, the powder is dispersed within a 360° range up to approximately 5 metres from the activation point. The resulting effect therefore combines the creation of an irritant cloud with a distinctive acoustic signal.

Tripwire activation

The Tripwire version allows the system to be activated using a trigger cord. The kit includes a 4 m cord and trigger components required for the Tripwire mechanism.

This version is primarily intended for situations where the system must respond to an intrusion into a protected area without requiring direct activation by the user.

Activation principle

The system uses one 12 g CO2 cartridge. Once the trigger mechanism is activated, the cartridge is pierced and compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) begins to be released inside the grenade’s plastic container. Pressure gradually builds up inside until the container reaches a critical level and bursts violently.

This rupture of the container creates an intense acoustic effect and simultaneously disperses the contained irritant powder into the surrounding area. The mechanism therefore uses the CO2 pressure itself without a pyrotechnic charge.

Reusable system

Pepper Storm Tripwire is designed with a reusable internal core. After activation, the system can be prepared again using the appropriate Pepper Storm Refill Kit.

The 12 g CO2 cartridge is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

CO2 cartridge installation procedure

When installing the CO2 cartridge, it is necessary to proceed with extreme caution. To insert it, the metal capsule is unscrewed, which simultaneously opens the container holding the irritant powder.

We therefore recommend handling it outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and using protective gloves, eye protection and respiratory protection. Spilling or inhalation of the irritant charge must be prevented.
