KWESST Reports on PARA OPS Showcase at SHOT Show 2022

The show took place in Las Vegas between January 18 and January 21, where the company demonstrated and showcased its multiple-shot and single-shot PARA OPS non-lethal personal defense products. KWESST also displayed its recently acquired ARWEN product line samples. CEO Jeff MacLeod stated that the SHOT Show validated the interest in the company’s non-lethal PARA OPS products and technology as anticipated.

The show was held amid recent reports indicating that the violent crime rate increased significantly in the US last year, including violent assaults, homicides, and property crime incidents. With the crime rate surging in several communities in 2021, there is a need for an effective and non-lethal system of helping law enforcement carry out their daily duties. KWESST is anticipating that its latest PARA OPS offering will change non-lethal defense and wider law enforcement. So, in the coming weeks, investors should watch KWEMF.
