HERO 2020 Active PavaBall Cartridge Refills

Product Overview

HERO 2020 Active Cartridges are high-performance refills engineered for use with the HERO 2020 and HERO 2020 CORE launchers. Each cartridge contains two high-velocity projectiles filled with professional-grade PAVA (synthetic capsaicin) powder. Designed to provide maximum safety at a distance, these cartridges utilize a nitrogen-actuated system to deliver precision rounds that burst on impact. Designed and assembled in the USA, these refills ensure your defense system remains potent and ready for immediate deployment.

Key Features & Performance

• PavaBall Technology: Fires .68 caliber projectiles filled with a powerful irritant powder that creates a 4-6 foot debilitating cloud upon impact, neutralizing threats instantly.

• Long-Range Accuracy: The nitrogen-powered system delivers projectiles with pinpoint precision up to 21 feet, allowing you to stop an attacker before they reach you.

• Dual-Shot Capacity: Each pre-built cartridge is loaded with two active rounds, providing multiple shots to handle high-stress situations or multiple targets.

• Rapid Reload System: Features a quick-release design that allows the user to swap out spent cartridges for fresh ones in seconds, no tools required.

• Reliable Incapacitation: The PAVA irritant causes temporary blindness, respiratory distress, and intense burning sensations, lasting up to one hour without causing permanent injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cartridges compatible with the HERO AIIRO? No. These projectile cartridges are exclusively for the HERO 2020 and HERO 2020 CORE models. The AIIRO series uses a different cartridge format designed to fire gel.

What happens if I miss the target? Even if the projectile hits a surface near the attacker (like a wall or the ground), it will still burst into a cloud of irritant powder. The large cloud is often sufficient to disorient and stop an advancing threat.

Do the projectiles expire? Yes. We recommend replacing your cartridges every two years.

Can I carry these on an airplane? Generally, non-lethal irritants are not allowed in carry-on luggage and may be restricted in checked baggage depending on the airline and destination. Always check TSA guidelines and specific airline policies before traveling.
