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.
CAP-STUN® — Where It Started
Zarc's original OC spray and the foundation of the company's law enforcement heritage since 1982 — the Z-305® Standard Duty line, plus Flip Top and Inert Training models in 1 oz. and 2 oz. (MK-3) sizes.
VEXOR® Professional
Zarc's extended aerosol lineup for agency and institutional use — Duty Carry sizes for everyday patrol through Tactical and Corrections units for high-volume situations.
Duty Gear & Accessories
Carrying a canister is only half the equation — Zarc's nylon and leather holsters, insert cups, and belt hardware keep CAP-STUN® and VEXOR® canisters secure and ready for fast access.
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.
