HERO 2020 Trainer PavaBall Projectile Cartridge Refills

Product Overview

HERO 2020 Trainer Cartridges are the essential training companion for the HERO 2020 and HERO 2020 CORE launchers. These cartridges fire inert projectiles filled with a non-toxic powder, allowing you to practice safely without the use of active irritants. By matching the exact ballistics, weight, and 21-foot range of the active rounds, these trainers provide the realistic feedback needed to master your aim and build muscle memory. Designed and assembled in the USA, they ensure you are fully prepared to operate your device with confidence in a high-stress situation.

Key Features & Performance

• Inert Practice Formula: Each projectile is filled with a non-irritating, non-toxic powder, making it safe for practice on inanimate targets without the risk of respiratory distress or skin irritation.

• Precision Training at Distance: Matches the exact flight path and 21-foot effective range of active rounds, ensuring your training translates perfectly to real-world defensive use.

• Visual Accuracy Assessment: The projectiles are designed to burst upon impact, leaving a visible powder mark on training targets so you can instantly verify and improve your shot placement.

• High-Pressure Nitrogen Power: Uses the same nitrogen-actuated system as active cartridges, providing the identical feel, sound, and mechanical operation for authentic training.

• Safe for Family Practice: An ideal tool for teaching household members or employees how to safely handle, aim, and fire the device without the dangers of accidental chemical exposure.

• Rapid Reload Drills: Utilizes the same quick-swap cartridge system as active rounds, allowing you to master the mechanics of reloading under simulated pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cartridges safe to use on people or animals? No. While the powder is inert, these projectiles are launched at high velocity. They should only be fired at inanimate training targets.

Can I practice with these inside my home? Because the projectiles burst and release powder on impact, we recommend practicing outdoors or at an authorized range.

How do I identify the Trainer cartridges vs. the Active cartridges? The Trainer cartridges are clearly labeled and typically feature blue color coding to differentiate them from the Active (red) PavaBall rounds. Always check the label before loading.

Can I reload or reuse the trainer cartridges? No. Like the active versions, these are pre-built single-use, nitrogen-powered units. Once the two rounds are fired, the nitrogen is depleted, and the cartridge must be replaced with a fresh one.
