Phalanx Industries to Unveil DSKL8R® at SHOT Show—A New Standard in Non-Lethal Tactical Protection
Share
DENVER, CO — December 15, 2025 — Phalanx Industries announced the official debut of DSKL8R®, a patented tactical non-lethal disruption device engineered to de-escalate confrontations without force. Purpose-built for law enforcement, military operators, security professionals, and first responders who demand a decisive edge, DSKL8R marks a defining evolution in tactical control—combining overwhelming light and sound to break escalation cycles in seconds.
Where traditional illumination tools end, DSKL8R begins.
DSKL8R delivers split-second sensory disruption through a proprietary fusion of 2,400-lumen blinding light and a 105dB audio barrage, overpowering an aggressor’s senses and creating immediate disorientation. The result: critical time and space regained, restoring control in the moments that matter most.
“I wish we would have had this device when I was in the field, as it would have provided additional proactive use-of-force options.”
— T.F., Retired FBI SWAT Field Office Team Leader
DSKL8R represents the future of non-lethal technology:
- Non-lethal dominance without lethal force
- Fast, controlled disruption in chaotic environments
- A proactive tool to save lives, protect careers, and reduce litigation risk
“If a tool doesn’t give you an advantage in the moment you need it most, it’s dead weight,” said Scott Southworth, CEO of Phalanx Industries and creator of DSKL8R. “DSKL8R is precision-built, field-tested, and mission-ready. It doesn’t just illuminate a threat—it destroys their momentum and breaks the cycle.”
Unmatched Performance in a Compact Platform
Never has this level of non-lethal disruption been packed into such a tough, compact device. Engineered for extreme conditions and unpredictable encounters, the DSKL8R is built to perform when failure is not an option.

DSKL8R is more than a tool—it’s a tactical shift. A device created for those who cannot afford hesitation, uncertainty, or escalation. SHOT Show attendees can experience the DSKL8R firsthand at the Phalanx Industries booth #40528, where live demonstrations will be available throughout the event.
