2 EXT - 2' Extension F/BP6000
The 2’ extension was designed for your operations when more length is needed when deploying the BP series flashbang poles. The 2EXT has an overall length of 24” and a weight of 2.7 lbs. The 2EXT is a very heavy duty extension which will perform over and over again when porting heavy glass. The 2EXT compliments the BP series poles by allowing the operator to place either a NFDD or a Non-Burning gas canister into the highest point of an opening thus increasing the performance of the NFDD.

5 EXT-SE - 5' Extension W/12" stand off leg
The 5’ extension is designed for second story deployment of NFDD’s. This extension is mated with the BP series poles which allow your port team operator the ability to place a NFDD near an opening at a height of 15’ to 17’. The 5EXT-SE has a 12” stand off leg which allows the operator the ability to rest the tool near an opening until deployment of the NFDD is needed. The 5EXT-SE has a total length of 60” and a weighs 5lbs. The extension is built on the same platform as the BP series poles and is easily detachable allowing flexibility in your operations.

Sidewinder - 90 degree extension
J&N learned that operators were laying the BP series poles just inside a doorway in order maintain a "controlled" delivery of the NFDD. After having dialog with operators using this technique, we at J&N felt a need to develop an extension which would allow operators the ability to maintain more control of the flashbang pole and NFDD. Months later, a new extension was developed and is now called the Sidewinder. The Sidewinder allows the operator the ability to place a NFDD at an entry point for either a breach and hold - in conjunction with/or without an entry into the structure.
By laying our BP series poles inside a doorway potentially created two possible issues of concern. First the standard clamp head used on our poles has very sharp teeth to pull fabric and obstructions from opening(s). As operators move through the breach point, there was a concern of an operator(s) hooking their boots on the sharp teeth of the clamp head or just tripping on the pole itself. Secondly, when laying the pole in the doorway, the designated operator looses physical control over the unsecured flashbang pole.
The new Sidewinder comes with its own clamp head, which has no hood (sharp teeth) covering the NFDD. The two stand off legs allow the operator to place it inside the door and rest the extension on the leg, thus keeping the NFDD approximately 4" off the floor. When the NFDD is secured in the clamp head, the ports on the NFDD are in the vertical position during deflagration.
The Sidewinder extension works very well with the BP series poles, however is very easily managed with the new BP-2C due to its compact length. One thing to consider when using the Sidewinder extension, make sure you have enough space at the breach point to allow the operator the ability to manuever when insertion of the NFDD.
The Sidewinder extension has also been a very valuable piece of equipment in pushing or securing a door into an open position after it has been breached. This allows the shield/cover officer the ability to just cover the opening and keep a safe distance from opening, thus being able to react is need be, see photo below.
