The proprietary aerosol container and specially produced valve system of the ASP Tactical Defender provide straight line dispersion of Oleoresin Capsicum. The Defender attaches to any ASP Tactical Baton® providing improved control and increased retention. The safety requires two distinct movements for activation. The Tactical Defender body is precision machined from aerospace aluminum. Internal components are engineering grade Delrin. The dispersion lens is available in red (high visibility), silver (concealment) or black (tactical). The system can use its own inserts or Key Defender® canisters by means of a conversion tube. The Tactical Defender may be used with or without an attached baton
