A combination lethal/non-lethal firearm device is disclosed wherein a lethal gun, pistol (10) or rifle that conventionally fires solid projectiles in the form of bullets, is converted to a non-lethal defensive weapon (20) by means of a novel canister unit attachment which will deploy a non-lethal chemical fluid such as tear gas or pepper gas. The non-lethal apparatus has a top portion (24) which is removably attached to the underside of the barrel (12), and a rear mounting portion (22) attached to a trigger guard (18) of a firearm. Activation of the chemical dispenser (28) is achieved by a novel means of pressing a force application pad (128) near the trigger guard (18), the force application pad (128) being attached to a pivoting arm (122) which communicates with an actuating button (32) on the canister (28), whereby the chemical agent is propelled out of the apparatus. |
