ARWEN 37
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ARWEN 37 is a less-lethal launcher designed during the 1960s by the British Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) Enfield, then part of the Royal Ordnance Factories. "ARWEN" is an acronym for "Anti Riot Weapon ENfield".
The ARWEN 37 fires 37 mm less-lethal rounds (foam, wooden or tear gas payload) designed for riot control. It has a 5-round rotary magazine.
As of 2001, all ARWEN trademarks and patents are owned by Police Ordnance Company Inc. The weapon is manufactured under license in Canada.
