Also worth noting: Pepperball rounds are simply paintball rounds filled with a slightly more concentrated pepper spray solution (0.5% to 5% PAVA). The outer shell of a Pepperball is primarily made with the same stuff as crayon wax.

Right would have to be fired from a 37 or 40mm launcher, not a shotgun/flex baton round
