SmartRounds Technology designed the SRT18 round to be used with a DMAG launcher. Still under development, the original prototype is pistol-sized for holster carry, an apparent intent to provide a more compact solution to shotgun-styled (or larger) launchers—yet remain in the pneumatic launcher category. As seen on the SRT website “The DMAG pistol is designed to fill a critical gap in the use of force.”

The site also offers a few specifications:
