40mm Baton
CTS manufactures a complete
line of 40mm less-lethal impact munitions. Cartridges
with rubber foam or hardwood batons. All of our
cartridge cases are made of aluminum alloy. Wood
batons are coated and sealed with lacquer to prevent
swelling through moisture absorption. These cartridges
were developed specifically for 40mm grenade launchers
such as the U.S. M203, M79 and the CTS
TGL-1. The cartridge case fully chambers in
such launchers, eliminating the possibility of the
cartridge slipping past the extractor, as may occur
with undersized cartridges. The undercut at the
cartridge base further ensures reliable extraction
after every shot.
Operation
The round can be launched from
a U.S. M203 or similar launcher such as our TGL-1
or M79.
