NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

cerberus: non-lethal visual disruption

3/1/2018

From their website:

The CERBERUS is not just a flashlight, but so much more! It is a true visual-disruption device that integrates with your handgun. Nearly ten years of working directly with the Army, Navy, and Marines lead to the specifications and parameters that CERBERUS offers you. 

It inflicts your target with overwhelming visual interruption, giving you the precious time needed to react and prepare for the situation at hand. CERBERUS also simultaneously provides you a clear "go / no-go" for the potential need to escalate force.

As an extra bonus, CERBERUS does indeed provide the operator extreme operational illumination (far better than most handgun flashlights) .

There are many pistol flashlights available, most even strobe, but NONE of those meet the US Military requirements for effective power-density (mW/cm2), nor the proper wavelength and hertz to accomplish what the DoD has specified and required to achieve "credible glare" - the military's term for visual disruption. 

The measure of "lumens" is often misleading to buyers, and is completely irrelevant to the ability to provide military grade credible-glare. Lumens is only a measure of emitted light in all directions. A flashlight with much higher lumens can be half (or less) effective than the CERBERUS for true visual-disruption. Power-density per surface-area (the way you measure a laser) is the only true way to determine sufficient photo-energy to overload the human retina, and wash-out the target's vision. 

CERBERUS is the only product in existence available to the public that combines all the military requirements for a visual-disruption non-lethal escalation of force determination tool. 

CERBERUS is protected by US and International Patents.

You may have noticed that CERBERUS has primarily green energy emitters. The reason for this is tied directly to the military specifications. The specific wavelength output of CERBERUS matches the DoD requirement for maximum inter-ocular sensitivity. 

However, depth-perception and color-recognition are diminished in a fully monochromatic environment, so the white emitter blends the perfect additional peripheral wavelengths for the operator to see colors and maintain depth-perception. This is what allows CERBERUS to also be one of the most effective pistol flashlights as well as the best non-lethal visual-disruption device.​ http://www.civilianwarfighter.com

    Previews and reviews on newly available items are written-up by our team as quickly as we can find them. Please let us know if we've missed something debuting on the market. As a firearm enthusiast or an AFD listed company you are welcome to submit a blog entry about a new product. You may also submit a firearm related commentary, idea or nostalgic musing: we like things celebratory of American ingenuity and manufacturing. All entries are subject to editing and/or fact-checking.
