Zarc® Professional Less Lethal Systems

CAP-STUN® and VEXOR® Professional — less lethal systems for law enforcement and professional use, manufactured in the USA since 1982.

Zarc International® has manufactured less lethal protection systems for law enforcement and professional use for more than four decades. No single tool covers every situation an officer encounters, so Zarc built three distinct platforms designed to work together rather than one product for every scenario. Every system is made in the USA and produced under ISO 9001 certification.

DAS™

Aerosol — closest-range response

APS™

Launcher — extended stand-off distance

VPS™

.68 caliber projectiles for APS™

Defensive Aerosol Solutions (DAS)

DAS™ (Defensive Aerosol Solutions) is Zarc's OC aerosol category — the closest-range response option in the lineup, and the foundation of Zarc's law enforcement heritage since 1982. It covers two product lines built on the same manufacturing standards: CAP-STUN®, Zarc's original professional and law enforcement heritage spray, and VEXOR® Professional, Zarc's extended aerosol lineup for agency and institutional use.

Zarc APS™ X3-LE launcher — extended range less lethal platform

APS™ & VPS™ — Extended Range Options

When distance matters, Zarc's APS™ (Advanced Air-Powered Systems) platform extends response options beyond aerosol range. The Zarc® X3-LE launcher runs on APS™, a CO2-powered less lethal launcher system, paired with VPS™ (Vexor® Projectile Systems) — a .68 caliber projectile line covering Training and Kinetic rounds through, where permitted, chemical defense options.

APS™ and VPS™ complement DAS™ aerosol systems rather than replace them, giving agencies scalable less lethal options from a single manufacturer — close range through extended distance, not a one-size-fits-all product.
