A less lethal pistol is a CO₂-powered launcher designed for self-defense and personal protection. It fires .68 caliber projectiles to incapacitate a threat through impact force or chemical irritants—without relying on lethal firearms ammunition.
In South Africa, less-lethal launchers are not classified as firearms. No firearm license or permit is needed for ownership or carry (as long as use complies with self-defense laws). This makes them accessible to more people.
