Pigstick Disrupter

The popular Pigstick disruptor is well proven in the disruption of thin-walled Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), having been successfully deployed by the UK MoD for years. Specifically designed for suspect devices larger and better protected than letter and small parcel bombs, the Pigstick disruptor is able to successfully penetrate vehicle body panels.

NSN No: 1385-99-208-3317

Pigstick is a multi-shot system which can be used repeatedly with minimum maintenance. It fires a projectile of water at high velocity to disrupt an IED by dynamically separating the key components of the IED with minimum risk of the device detonating.

The disrupter can be prepared for firing away from the target, then placed at the suspect device in its “ready” state. It is fired remotely using a firing line and electronic exploder.

Usually deployed on a Z-frame stand or tripod stand, Pigstick can also be deployed from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

The kit is provided in a canvas bag for ease of transport. The stand is supplied separately.

The Pigstick is manufactured from stainless steel. The main body of the Pigstick and its stand are made under licence.

Nexus also supply the L46A1 cartridges to fire the water injector, packed in 18s into an H83 ammunition tin.
