Pepper self-defence device Duke Pepper Storm Kit

Duke Pepper Storm Kit is a pepper self-defence device combining an intense acoustic effect with the dispersion of an irritating powder charge. After activation, it operates with an approximately 4–5-second delay, then produces an acoustic signal with a volume of approximately 158 dB while simultaneously dispersing an irritant into the surrounding area.

35 g irritant charge

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

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

Activation principle

The system uses one 12 g CO2 cartridge. After activation, it is pierced and the compressed CO2 carbon dioxide begins to be released inside the plastic container of the self-defence device. 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 irritating powder into the surrounding area. The mechanism therefore uses CO2 pressure itself without a pyrotechnic charge.

Reusable system

Pepper Storm 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 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 also opens the container with the irritating powder.

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