Birdfrite Technical Data Sheet
Chemring
Birdfrite is a 12 gauge projected payload cartridge for use in 12 gauge
shotguns to disperse birds effectively at a distance without leaving
objectionable Foreign Object Debris (FOD). The projected payload produces a
brilliant flash and loud report when it explodes to frighten birds away without
injuring them. The combination of the sound frequency and flash intensity is
many times more effective than standard shotgun cartridges and many other
methods of dispersing flocks of birds for long periods.
Recent
improvements to the product include the use of biodegradable plastic for the
projected cracker. The use of black powder substitute as the propelling charge
for the cracker reduces the incidence of weapon fouling. Chemring
Birdfrite
can now be used in both choked and unchoked shotgun barrells.
Chemring
Birdfrite is a versatile and reliable product. It is an environmentally
friendly solution to the management of birds at airports/airfields, orchards and
vineyards, golf courses and waste processing sites. Birdfrite contains no lead
shot.
