12 ga Door Breacher - The 12 ga Door Breacher is a heavy frangible slug launched at high velocities to defeat locks, hinges and disrupt suspected IEDs. The metal composite is intended to penetrate hard materials and disrupt mechanical mechanisms before disintegrating into a micropulverized powder.

FRAG-12 is a standard 3 inch 12 ga cartridge case and propellant. When launched fins deploy to stabilize a 19mm warhead with a MIL-SPEC 1316 compliant fuze assembly. The projectile is designed to arm 3 meters from the muzzle and detonates upon impact with a surface. The HE projectile has sufficient explosive power to penetrate ¼ inch cold rolled steel plate. The maximum effective range for this round is 200m. The armor-piercing projectile is a shaped charge design and is designed to penetrate ½ inch of steel armor. The FRAG-12 will improve effectiveness of shotguns in urban areas for stopping vehicles at roadblocks and checkpoints, barricade attack, and remote probing of potential Improvised Explosive Devices (IED).
