A Bangor Punta subsidiary, General Ordnance Equipment Corp., which has done very well with its highly profitable Mace, has another comer in a 25-lb. device that generates a billowing smoky haze called Pepper Fog. The $395 tubular generator can be slung and aimed from the shoulder, and it has cleared 400 rioting prisoners from a large building in 2½ minutes.
