WARNING: CSI manufactures a variety of CTS less lethal products which are under pressure, pyrotechnic, incendiary, emit projectiles, generate smoke, or are explosive in nature. When used in accordance with CTS training guidelines and/or the individual agency’s policy, they are intended to cause varying degrees of pain and injury, which are temporary. These products are restricted to law enforcement, corrections, and military personnel and are used to gain compliance, disperse crowds, restore order, or temporarily incapacitate dangerous persons. In rare circumstances, if used incorrectly, CTS less-lethal products may cause damage to property, serious bodily injury or death. Therefore, any person using the force option depicted on this page should receive proper training to ensure the safest and most effective use.
CAUTION: Command Initiated Flash-Bangs are designed for specific tactical solutions. One must be trained specifically in the basics of handling of explosive shock tube, firing devices.
Shock tube extends from the top of each device and should have a cap at the end of the tube. The tube is coated on the inside with Aluminized HMX and has a burn rate of approximately 6,500 fps (1981 MPS). The outer surface of the tube will remain intact during and after functioning.
**CAUTION: The deployment of any non-bursting canister devices onto soft, wet surfaces, such as mud, wet dirt and we and dry sand may cause blast ports to become blocked, potentially causing the devices to launch and become a hazardous projectile.
