THE IMPACT
From These Seemly Innocuous Tubes Are Changing The Way The World Can Now Think About Less-Lethal Self-Defense
These specially designed tubes are loaded with 0.75 plus pounds, (19 fl.ozs.), of a non-toxic dry composite comprised of a precise mixture of different organic and inorganic materials. Each one is designed to impart a different effect on the target.
Our Military Grade Bopper launchers are each powered by 600 psi of compressed air. The initial impact,>200 joules of kinetic energy, itself is significant. In laymen’s terms they hit with 15 times more force than that of a paintball, or about >6 times with more force than a 90 MPH fastball. It’s going to do more than leave a bruise. That is only half of it. Upon impact the tube breaks open with a spinning motion creating a 5 ft. diameter starburst of composite.
The heavier organic materials fly up into the target’s mouth, nose, and eyes, choking, blinding, completely turning the tables on the target with one quick shot. Meanwhile the lighter materials stay airborne for 20-25 seconds surrounding the target with an additional blinding fog adding one last layer of disorientation. No need for peppered chemicals that could harm others nearby.
Truly Non-Lethal Peace Of Mind
Historically, many believed lethal force was the only defense against an armed invader. However, even trained professionals struggle with the psychological weight of using deadly force.
Pepper Sprays, Tasers, pepper balls, or bean bags, do not instill much confidence. Personally, I think my trusty five iron would be more effective that a hand-held strobe light.
Pick up one of our launchers. Feel the weight of one of our darts. You have seen the film and seen the effects this system has on a targeted invader. And it does not take professional training to use one.
You just feel safer holding one!
Technical Support
The Bopper Defense System is not just something you buy on line and figure the rest out on your own.
When you purchase one of defense systems you get a team of support persons, optional addons like special locking stands for classrooms or anyplace you want to keep the units nearby but out of reach of curious hands. We can provide unbreakable training darts that can be reused over and over again.
We can also provide videos and training material including videos for those with specific needs. We provide certification criteria for security guards and will work with your local and state certification instructors.
Classroom Guardian Program
Placing Bopper Units into classrooms not only make the classrooms safer by adding that very needed last line of defense, but just as import, it makes the classrooms “feel” safer. The original motivation for the development of this program started specifically for school safety. We have built an entire program around visibility, and training. Each school will appoint a program administrator. We will train the trainer.
And continue to work with them especially assisting your school with integrating our Bopper System into your lockdown drills, involving not only teachers and students, but also parents and local communities. Our goal is to return classrooms into safer and more nurturing places where teachers can teach and children can learn and remove or at least significantly reduce the current stress levels surrounding school shootings.
Personal Home Protection
We are supporters of the second amendment. But while keeping a gun or especially a loaded gun in the house presents a whole set of possible problems. And if there are children in the house, well many additional concerns come to mind, So. we say, keep your guns, but lock them away and keep our Bopper Systems at the ready. Be assured that they are very effective for home security and do not present you with the possible consequences of pulling out a loaded gun.
Programs for Churches and Other Gathering Places
Send us a diagram of your building and a description of your current developmental safety program. We have security specialist who can review these and make recommendations as how best to integrate our systems into yours.
We are not trying to tell you to remove all armed guards, but the addition of effective non-lethal options will make most congregations feel a lot more comfortable knowing that these are there.
Protection for Your Business
Send us schematics of your buildings, current safety plans, as well as additional concerns over the safety of your property,Our security specialists will review your concerns and can discuss how utilizing one of our Bopper Systems can help. No hi-pressure sales people, just experience security professionals.
Armed or Unarmed Security Guards
Security Guards are now seen everywhere. For many years most were unarmed and were placed as visual deterrences
to keep away the occasional bad actors or to call police in the event of real danger. But now we see these guards increasingly carrying guns. It is a choice between the security companies and the people who hire them.
However, most of these guards and most of their employees would rather have a practical alternative.
And in the right places our Bopper Systems is just that whether they carry, lethal or not. We are working with security certification experts that are writing the criteria manuals and we can work with state and local certification trainers to make this happen where ever you may be.
Blue Water Safety
Add a much needed layer of protection against pirates in open waters. We know that it is difficult to carry lethal weapons on board when entering a foreign port. We have a former US Coast Guard safety trainer on our staff who is available to consult with Yacht Owners, Cruise Ship Lines, or Cargo Carriers.
Custom Options For Specific Needs
Our launchers are made by a well known military contractor and are made to military standards.
We can offer either single barrel or double barrel launchers. Both are simple to use, even by someone who has never fired a gun before. They work using compressed air so there is no loud bang and there is no kick. They re-load by simply sliding a new dart down the front of the barrel.
We offer our standard darts, but we can also custom design our composites to add a little extra kick if certain situations may require that. And we offer non-breakable darts for training purposes.
Financial Support
Believe it or not, all of this comes at a very reasonable cost. In fact, Bopper Systems cost less than many other professional safety systems which are now in use. And for institutional uses that require multiple units, we have consulted with banks, fund raising groups for schools, as well as these should qualify for grant programs. Let us help! on almost every site.
Mixing and Matching Option:
Darts
1
This our original dart that is still our “go to” favorite for schools and home protection.
2
The “Repeller” this dart is two inches longer and 30% heavier. It was originally designed for marine defense to repel pirate attacks. The extra weight and length helps the darts stay on target even in high winds and the composite mix has a a little extra kick
3
The “mity mo” darts are shorter, 71/2 inches and about 10% lighter than our originals. The composite mix will still produce a nice size start burst but we have removed the after cloud. This gives the darts more accuracy at a little longer range and can be used when the target is surrounded by other people. These are designed for churches, concert venues, or other large gathering places. They are also more compatible with the shorter barrel launchers which are easier for guards to use inside these buildings.
4
Originals with an extra options:
a. Some people like the idea of having the extra effects of chemical pepper. We can add that to mix.
b. Dye check. We can add a color dye to the mix just in case a target is able to get up and run they can still be identified by first responders. Mostly recommended for banks or retail stores..
c. Something for very specific needs, just ask.
Launchers
Our original Bopper. This a single 12 inch barrel. Match it with our #1 darts and you have an economical “one shot” defense tool for home defense other low threat targets
1
2
The “Monitor”. The Monitor has two 12 1/2 inch barrels. This was an upgrade requested by many teachers as they might be the only adult in the room and wanted the second shot as a backup in case help was slow in coming. This is a great second shot option for anyone wanting that additional edge for any reason.
3
The “Big Boy”. This is our longer double barrel option to be used with the Repeller 13 inch darts. The longer barrels helps keep those longer darts on target. Another option with this launcher is that we can switch the composite air canisters to heavy aluminum. Spin the launcher around and the heavy can becomes a heavy club head.
4
Our “Little Guy” launcher has an 8” barrel to be teamed up with the mity mo darts. Being smaller, it can be more convenient for hiding it behind a door, behind a bar or carrying it around in a crowd or when a guard might be making their rounds.
Remember all the above launchers are loaded and reloaded quickly by simply sliding the darts right down the front of the barrels.
