Fox Labs
Authorized Dealer • LE-Grade Pepper Spray • 5.3M SHU / 1.4 MC
Fox Labs International is the LE-grade pepper-spray manufacturer carried by law enforcement, corrections officers, and military personnel — the professional counterpart to the consumer-grade pepper spray tier. The pepper extract base is rated at 5,300,000 Scoville Heat Units with an independently-tested 1.4 Major Capsaicinoids rating, placing Fox Labs among the hottest commercially available OC formulations. Keep Shooting stocks the Pistol Grip Crowd Control spray — the Five Point Three Squared formulation in a wide-dispersal fog pattern designed for multi-subject deployments — along with the Sudecon Decontamination Wipe, the irritant-removal companion that handles the post-exposure cleanup.
Fox Labs at Keep Shooting
Fox Labs International is the LE-grade pepper-spray manufacturer that sits at the top of the OC potency tier — carried by law enforcement agencies, corrections officers, and military personnel as the professional-deployment spray rather than the consumer self-defense option. Where consumer-grade brands like Sabre dominate the personal-carry tier at price points accessible to retail buyers, Fox Labs builds the higher-Scoville LE-spec product that police agencies bid as a duty issue. The pepper extract base is rated at 5,300,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) with an independently-tested 1.4 Major Capsaicinoids (MC) rating — one of the hottest commercially available OC formulations. Keep Shooting’s Fox Labs catalog covers the deployment-and-aftermath bundle: the Pistol Grip Crowd Control spray for the deployment side and the Sudecon Decontamination Wipe for the post-exposure cleanup.
Pistol Grip Crowd Control — Five Point Three Squared in Fog Pattern
The Fox Labs Pistol Grip Crowd Control Pepper Spray is the Fox Labs SKU in our catalog — a large-format pepper-spray applicator purpose-designed for multi-subject deployments rather than personal-carry use. The pistol-grip body geometry trades pocket-portability for sustained-spray control and reach: a thumb-trigger above a foregrip handle lets the operator put the canister forward of the body and lay down continuous OC dispersal across a wider arc than a thumb-button can deploy steadily. The formulation is Five Point Three Squared — the Fox Labs nomenclature for the product built around their 5,300,000 SHU pepper extract base. The fog spray pattern is the critical detail: rather than the focused stream pattern that consumer carry sprays use (a single concentrated jet aimed at one subject's face), the fog pattern disperses OC across a wide forward cone, engaging multiple subjects across a breaching or crowd-management scenario. Operationally that means lower per-subject OC concentration in exchange for wider-arc effect — the right engineering tradeoff for the use case Fox Labs built this SKU around. Stream patterns reach farther and concentrate more OC on one subject; fog patterns reach less far but cover the whole forward space.
Sudecon — The Decontamination Companion
The Sudecon Irritant Spray Decontamination Wipe is the post-exposure cleanup product that pairs with any OC pepper-spray deployment — ours, our subject’s, or the cross-contamination that lands on the deploying officer’s own kit. Sudecon is technically a Safariland-brand product rather than a Fox Labs product, but Keep Shooting catalogues it under Fox Labs because operationally these two products ship together: the spray and the wipe are a complete OC kit. The wipe contains a proprietary formulation designed to neutralize the burning sensation of capsaicinoid exposure on skin and around the eyes — meaningfully faster than water or improvised soap-and-water flushes, which can spread OC residue rather than remove it. For training environments where officers run through OC certifications, for deployment scenarios where decontamination of the subject becomes a duty-of-care obligation, and for cross-contamination on the operator’s own gear, the wipe belongs in the same bag as the spray.
SHU vs MC — Why Fox Labs Talks Major Capsaicinoids
The pepper-spray market has historically marketed product potency using the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale — the same scale used to rate hot peppers and hot sauces, ranging from 0 (sweet bell pepper) through 100,000 (habanero) up to the 2-3 million SHU range of the Carolina Reaper. Pepper sprays use that scale to advertise the heat of their OC base, with values typically in the 500,000 to 5,300,000 SHU range. The problem with SHU as a pepper-spray measurement is that it rates the base pepper extract, not the final delivered formulation — once the OC is suspended in propellant and carrier and aerosolized at a specific concentration, the actual heat the subject experiences is a function of the formulation density rather than the extract’s underlying SHU. The modern standard is Major Capsaicinoids (MC), which measures the actual capsaicinoid concentration of the delivered formulation via third-party HPLC laboratory analysis. Fox Labs publishes their formulations at 1.4 MC — an independently-tested figure that corresponds directly to the spray as it leaves the canister. For agency buyers comparing pepper-spray products at the procurement-spec level, MC is the meaningful comparison; SHU is the marketing number. Fox Labs publishes both because the LE market reads both. Keep Shooting's hero copy leads with the SHU figure because that's the recognizable number; the MC figure is the substantive one.
The Broader Fox Labs Catalog — What KS Doesn’t Stock (Yet)
Beyond the Pistol Grip Crowd Control SKU we carry, the manufacturer catalog at foxlabs.com runs a full product family. One Point Four is the current-naming version of the 1.4 MC formulation in personal-carry canister sizes (the same OC chemistry as the Five Point Three Squared, just in smaller deployment formats). Five Point Three is the legacy naming for the same formulation rated against the SHU scale. Mean Green is the same OC chemistry with a clear base and a green staining dye suspended in the spray — a post-deployment suspect-identification marker that survives clothing changes and basic washing, useful in fleeing-suspect scenarios where the dye persists long enough for an arresting officer downstream to confirm the spray contact. Outdoor Spray is the bear / large-animal formulation, formulated for outdoor deployment against wildlife rather than human subjects. The manufacturer also catalogs inert training units for OC certification courses where instructors need to deploy spray for muscle-memory training without actually exposing the trainee. Keep Shooting carries the Crowd Control deployment SKU; if you’re an agency buyer who needs the broader product line or specific canister sizes for personal carry, the manufacturer’s catalog covers the remaining variants.
Pairing & Cross-References
Browse the full pepper spray category for the side-by-side view of Fox Labs against the consumer-grade tier dominated by Sabre (the carry-spray category leader at the personal-defense price point). For Mass-market buyers looking at pepper spray as a self-defense option, Sabre is the right entry point; for agency buyers, OC certification programs, or shooters who specifically want the LE-grade higher-Scoville formulation, Fox Labs is the correct tier. Note: per Keep Shooting’s shipping restrictions, pepper spray cannot be shipped to DC, California, Crawford County or Denison Iowa, Chicago Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, or Puerto Rico — with the standard exception for verified accredited Law Enforcement Agencies upon submission of a purchase request on agency letterhead.
