Overview of the SABRE Phantom OC Grenade MK-5 | AG-PTM-40
The Go-To Area Extraction Tool for Tactical Operations
When you need to control a confined space, extract a barricaded subject, or manage an aggressive encounter inside a building, a standard-issue canister often falls short. The SABRE Red Phantom OC Grenade (MK-5), model AG-PTM-40, addresses that gap with an evaporating fog system that fills 22,000 cubic feet in 60 seconds.
Unlike stream or cone-pattern OC sprays that demand direct facial application, the Phantom OC Grenade AG-PTM-40 releases an inhalation-effect fog that does not require precision targeting to be effective. The canister empties in 14 seconds, and cleanup requires nothing more than fresh air ventilation since the evaporating formula leaves no residue behind. For tactical teams, corrections officers, and law enforcement professionals who operate in enclosed environments, that combination of speed and simplicity makes the Phantom the preferred extraction tool.
Why SABRE Red?
SABRE backs every canister with an in-house HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) lab, making it the only brand in the industry to guarantee maximum strength in every unit. An independent University of Utah study confirmed a 30% failure rate in OC concentration across the industry. SABRE eliminates that variability.

Compatibility
The SABRE Phantom OC Grenade AG-PTM-40 is designed for indoor and enclosed-space tactical deployment, including:
- Jail and prison cells
- Attics, crawl spaces, and confined structures
- Indoor rooms and hallways during active threat response
- Barricaded areas, holes, and caves
The unit supports vertical and horizontal deployment, producing distinct distribution patterns depending on orientation. Its non-flammable formulation makes it suitable for environments where flammable chemical agents pose a secondary hazard.
Limitations to note:
- This product carries a law enforcement designation and is intended for trained professionals only
- Outdoor open-air deployment reduces effectiveness due to fog dissipation in wind
- Not designed as a direct personal-application canister; it is not a stream or cone spray
- Single-use and disposable; cannot be recharged or refilled after discharge
Intended Users
The SABRE Phantom MK-5 OC Grenade is manufactured and designated for law enforcement and professional tactical applications. Police officers and sheriff's deputies managing barricaded subjects in confined spaces rely on the Phantom AG-PTM-40 to quickly clear an area without requiring close-range personal application. Corrections officers in county jails, state prisons, and federal facilities use this grenade for cell extraction of combative or non-compliant inmates, where standard spray devices require closer proximity. SWAT teams and emergency response units conducting building entries benefit from the 14-second discharge time and the non-flammable, EID-compatible formulation. Military security personnel and law enforcement academy instructors who run force-option scenario training also rely on the Phantom as a practical training and deployment tool. Court officers, state troopers, and bail enforcement agents rounding out their duty gear options will find the AG-PTM-40 a valuable escalation alternative to hands-on force.
