A Microdet is a miniature maroon housed in a plastic or cardboard (non-fragmental) casing. It is used to simulate bullet hits on walls or ground, particularly in film and TV.
Safety trials should be conducted in advance to ascertain the suitability of noise levels.
It will produce some flying debris.
Noise: Max 110dB (at 5m/15ft indoors).
There may be minimal fallout as all pyrotechnics can produce some remnants of hot and/or cold fallout. Risk assessments must be carried out when using all Le Maitre products and this should involve a test firing of the product.
The dB level distances stated on the website are those at which testing was conducted for CE, and they are not to be taken as the safety distances. The radial distance and the direction-of-effect distance are the safety distances that must be adhered to.
