Mini-Signal

The 16mm Mini-Signal has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of the ‘Penjector’ personal signalling kit. It provides optimum performance and reliability with maximum safety and survivability.

By maximising the number of individual payloads for the envelope, combined with a patented ‘safe-fire’ mechanism, the Mini-Signal delivers single handed operation and unrivalled performance for a pyrotechnic signal kit.

Wallop Defence Systems’ 16mm Mini-Signal has been designed to provide the operator with the most flexible, high intensity, localised flare signalling system. Each Mini-Signal offers a compact design comprising an integral eight flare block and ‘safe-fire’ mechanism.

The patented ‘safe-fire’ mechanism provides a non pre-cocked, single action initiation of the signals. In addition, the mechanism includes an optional ‘vertical only’ firing feature, eliminating the possibility of the device being used as an offensive weapon.
