An adapter for a cylindrical end cap of a multi-section locking baton. The adapter has a non-cylindrical outer side surface thereby providing the end of the baton with a non-cylindrical outer side configuration, such as a wedge shape or a domed shape. The adapter comprises a lip that is clamped between the end cap and the handle of the baton when the adapter is fitted over the end cap to secure the adapter in position on the baton. The baton comprises a manually actuatable release rod that extends axially through telescoping tubes for unlocking the tubes. The push button is connected to the release rod to enable unlocking of the tubes and closing of the baton.
A pyrotechnic composition includes a fuel, an oxidizer, flow and rate control agents and oleoresin capsicum as an irritant. The composition is useful in crowd control products. The composition contains rate control ingredients to maintain combustion at a temperature below the point of degradation of the oleoresin capsicum, balanced with a booster material to maintain combustion.

C06B 21/00 - Apparatus or methods for working-up explosives, e.g. forming, cutting, drying
C06B 33/04 - Compositions containing particulate metal, alloy, boron, silicon, selenium or tellurium with at least one oxygen supplying material which is either a metal oxide or a salt, organic or inorganic, capable of yielding a metal oxide the material being an inorganic nitrogen-oxygen salt
A stun grenade includes a fuze assembly secured to a housing adjacent gas outlet ports. The fuze assembly includes a fuze body having contact surfaces located in the flow path of the gas from the outlet ports so that gas flowing from the outlet ports impinges on the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces of the fuze body extend at an angle of no more than about 50 degrees to the first direction.
