Executive Summary
DEFSEC Technologies announced an ATF determination that its single-shot ARWEN Micro (Pro-1) is not a 'Destructive Device' under U.S. federal law, remaining classified as an 'Any Other Weapon' (AOW). The ATF also indicated it will not enforce tax stamp requirements for AOWs, simplifying the federal process to be similar to a pistol or handgun. This removes a significant regulatory barrier to selling the Pro-1 to U.S. civilian buyers, with sales expected as early as Q2 2027.
Key Facts

- ATF open letter (Oct 9, 2026) indicated it will not enforce tax stamp requirements for AOWs and will not require federal approval or registration for manufacturing or purchase of AOWs.
- Pro-1 is a compact single-shot non-lethal device firing .67-cal pepper-powder projectiles with a 60-ft effective range.
- Tooling for full-scale production of Pro-1 ammunition is largely complete at DEFSEC's U.S. contract manufacturer.
- DEFSEC expects to begin selling Pro-1 to the U.S. civilian market as early as Q2 of calendar 2027.
