Electro-muscular disruption munitions engineered to incapacitate threats without committing to lethal force. Multi-shot. Non-tethered. Compatible with the platforms operators already field daily.
A calibrated electrical discharge that overrides voluntary muscle control on contact. Engineered for the platforms operators already carry.
Each ShoX round deploys two barbed probes that complete a circuit through the target on impact. A precisely calibrated 500 mA current pulse overrides voluntary muscle control for 10 to 30 seconds depending on platform and round configuration — long enough to neutralize a threat, short enough to recover without lasting harm.
Every round is non-tethered, multi-shot capable, and engineered for the platforms operators already carry. The 40mm variant substitutes a high-power microwave (HPM) payload for area-effect counter-UAS engagements.
A fire-and-forget 40mm round that brings down hostile UAS without explosives. Fired from the standard 40mm launchers operators already carry, it closes on the target and releases a directed high-power microwave pulse — silencing motors, GPS, datalink, and fuze in a single burst. The drone loses control and falls inert.
Operator acquires the target, fires, and breaks contact. No tether, no datalink, no follow-on guidance. Once airborne, the round executes its defeat sequence autonomously inside the seeker basket.
A short-duration, high-power microwave burst couples into the target's electronics at 16–20 m proximity, corrupting motor controllers and navigation. Lethal radius zero. Collateral footprint minimal.
40 × 46 low-velocity. Compatible with M203, M320, M79, MGL, and any standard 40mm under-barrel or stand-alone launcher already in inventory. No new training pipeline. No new logistics tail.
Engineered for standard-issue 5.56 / .223 rifle platforms. The bright-yellow smart magazine maintains rounds in a charged-ready state with at-a-glance status indication. Issue it to the soldiers already trained on the rifle.
Standoff less-lethal for law enforcement and security teams operating .68 caliber launchers. Identical electro-muscular payload to the rifle round, delivered from the platforms designed for de-escalation.
A fire-and-forget high-power microwave projectile for the standard 40mm grenade platform. Defeats Group 1 and small Group 2 UAS with a proximity-fuzed EMP — no kinetic impact, no fragmentation, low collateral footprint.
Three operational profiles. One core capability: incapacitate without committing to lethal consequence.
Multi-shot, non-tethered de-escalation from a safe distance. Soldiers handle threatening situations without committing to lethal force. Deploys on issued 5.56 NATO rifles, .68 launchers, and 40mm grenade platforms.
Public safety, riot control, and de-escalation at standoff. Officers maintain law and order while protecting life — the discharge incapacitates without committing to lethal consequence.
Peace of mind without irreversible consequences. ShoX rounds neutralize an intruder with maximum effect and minimal risk of fatal injury — the right tool for protecting your home and your conscience.

ShoX manufactures electro-muscular disruption (HEMI) and high-power microwave (HPM) less-lethal ammunition. On contact or proximity, the round delivers an electrical or electromagnetic pulse that incapacitates a human threat or defeats a small unmanned aerial system — without kinetic injury.
The HEMI rounds deploy two barbed probes that complete a circuit through the target. A 500 mA discharge overrides voluntary muscle control for 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the round. The 40mm HPM round delivers an electromagnetic pulse that disables the electronics of a target drone at proximity — typically 16–20 meters.
ShoX rounds are designed as less-lethal munitions. As with any use-of-force tool, deployment should follow your agency's or jurisdiction's rules of engagement. The rounds are engineered to minimize the risk of fatal injury compared to conventional ammunition.
The 5.56 NATO HEMI round fires from standard-issue 5.56 / .223 rifle systems. The .68 round fires from standard .68 caliber launchers. The 40mm HPM round fires from standard 40 × 46mm low-velocity grenade launchers. No proprietary launcher is required.
ShoX serves qualifying military, government, and law enforcement agencies, authorized dealers and distributors, and individuals in jurisdictions where less-lethal ammunition is legal. Eligibility is confirmed at order intake. Export sales are subject to ITAR / EAR compliance.
