The RWS/Umarex 2292309 Defense Pepper Balls deliver reliable less-lethal protection through precise .68 caliber projectiles filled with potent oleoresin capsicum powder. These professional-grade pepper balls create an effective deterrent cloud upon impact, providing standoff distance for personal defense situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pepper spray with limited range, these .68 caliber pepper balls extend effective range to 150 feet when fired from compatible launchers. The dual-color red and black design provides visual confirmation of impact while the brittle shell ensures consistent powder dispersal. Each ball contains pharmaceutical-grade OC powder that creates a 12-foot irritant cloud lasting 30-45 minutes in still air conditions.
Key Features
- Professional .68 caliber size compatible with paintball markers and pepper ball launchers
- Oleoresin capsicum filling rated at 2% capsaicinoid concentration
- Brittle gelatin shell designed for reliable rupture on impact
- Red and black color coding for training and identification purposes
- Sealed packaging maintains powder integrity for 3-year shelf life
- 10-round count provides multiple deployment opportunities
- Temperature stable from -10°F to 120°F storage range
These pepper balls perform consistently across temperature ranges, making them suitable for law enforcement training, security applications, and civilian personal protection scenarios. The .68 caliber specification ensures compatibility with most paintball markers converted for less-lethal use. Impact velocity of 280-300 FPS creates sufficient shell rupture without excessive penetration, balancing effectiveness with safety considerations.
