Gard
Multishot contact/remote electroshock device with a changeable clip for 5 cartridges
GARD is a pistol-shaped electroshock weapon with CDC (charge delivery cartridge) placed in a holder with an electrode — a copper wire with a plummet and an aim-attachment device (hook) at its end.
When the trigger is pushed, a high voltage discharge initiates two CDCs, which fire the electrodes from the weapon to the target. After an electric arc is created, the target receives a high-voltage discharge of a specific shape causing paralysis or pain effect based on PDG’s (personal defensive gadget) electric exposure technology. Duration of the exposure is defined by the time the trigger is being pushed. After the trigger is depressed, used CDCs are thrown out of the weapon. One clip has 10 CDCs for 5 charges.
The weapon has two operations mode: remote and contact.
Laser Designator
The weapon has a built-in laser designator (LTD) which indicates the point of hitting of the top sensitive element. Aiming can also be done with the front and rear sights which are located on the body of the weapon.
The LTD can be regulated in two dimensions.
Contact Method
The weapon has a button enabling the independent contact method that allows to apply a high-voltage on the action electrodes without a shot even with the loaded clip.
Mechanical Lock
The weapon has a mechanical lock of the trigger, when pushed it is used to capture the offender. The device has a built-in timer that delivers electric impulses with a special algorhythm.
(only available for special services)
The weapon’s controls are designed so that the device can be handled by both left and right hand.
The weapon GARD is easily manipulated by one hand allowing the other to hold a service firearm to take a full control over the situation.
Timer
The electronics of the weapon have built-in timer that limits total time of electrical charge of one shot.

A rechargeable LiPO battery is used to power the GARD electronics.
The weapon is equipped with a special holster to be worn.

Cartridge
CDC — Charge Delivery Cartridge, ejection type — baric.
CDC is designed to deliver electrical impulses of high voltage.
For a remote application GARD uses a CDC-1 (charge delivery cartridge).
Cartridges are placed in a special clip which ensures safe transportation of cartridges as well as convenient and fast standby when needed.
When reaching the target the wire remains tight which prevents it from overlapping and target release.
The electrodes are made of soft materials and have extended diameter to prevent kinetic injuries while hitting the target.
