ADMIRAL MK-46 CS

Large-scale CS fogger for crowd management and major law enforcement operations.

ADMIRAL MK-46 CS is the largest CS fog dispenser in the ADMIRAL professional range, designed for large-scale crowd management, riot control, gendarmerie mobile operations and prolonged tactical interventions. With a 420 ml capacity — 62% more than the MK-9 CS — and a pistol-grip handle, it provides extended sustained engagement capability against large crowds and dynamic operational environments where mission duration and area coverage are critical. CS chemistry is particularly suited to standardized large-scale crowd-management protocols and operational contexts where predictable, well-characterized chemical effects are required.

With an effective range of up to 6 meters (20 ft), MK-46 CS neutralizes threats at extended distance through a fog dispersion pattern that covers a wide engagement area. The pistol-grip handle with safety pin delivers stable two-handed control during prolonged deployment, while the 420 ml capacity supports the longest sustained operations in the range without canister change. The actuator is equipped with a first-use indicator, allowing immediate verification of canister status — essential for duty readiness and post-deployment reporting.

The active ingredient is CS gas (orthochlorobenzylidene malononitrile), the standard chemical irritant used by international law enforcement for crowd management and tactical interventions. CS is a synthetic compound with predictable, well-characterized effects — making it the agent of choice for standardized operational protocols and post-intervention reporting.

Incapacitating effect

On contact, CS immediately triggers intense lachrymation, strong respiratory irritation, involuntary eye closure and disorientation. The subject is incapacitated for 15 to 30 minutes, allowing the operator to control the situation, complete intervention procedures and call for backup if needed. The fog dispersion pattern affects all subjects within the engagement zone, making MK-46 CS particularly effective for large-scale crowd management and high-density multi-subject scenarios. CS is most effective on subjects in standard physiological states; for engagements involving subjects potentially under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication, OC formulations (MK-46 OC) may be considered.

ADMIRAL ecosystem

MK-46 CS is part of the ADMIRAL professional ecosystem. After deployment, ADMIRAL RESCUE-OCS provides rapid flushing for affected skin areas — supporting both team recovery and post-intervention duty of care. For decontamination of larger areas or vehicles after deployment, refer to ADMIRAL operational procedures.

Technical specifications

Operational deployment

The pistol-grip handle ensures stable two-handed engagement during prolonged crowd-management operations. The fog dispersion pattern delivers wide-area coverage at the engagement zone, making MK-46 CS the spray of choice for large-scale tactical interventions where extended duration and area coverage are critical. The 420 ml capacity supports the longest sustained engagement scenarios in the range without operational interruption — a decisive advantage during major public-order operations. As with any fog dispenser, deployment in outdoor conditions requires assessment of wind direction to avoid blowback. Operators are advised to maintain perimeter control during and after deployment. Use strictly reserved for situations of real danger. Operator training is mandatory. Use must comply with applicable laws and authorized operator status.
