Overview
Find the Perfect Round for Every Situation
The PavaShot round projectiles are 0.68 caliber non-lethal rounds engineered for high bioavailability and consistent 2-meter blast-radius coverage. Designed with Advanced Plume Technology, they ensure rapid, uniform dispersal of PAVA or capsaicin payloads on impact, maximizing area saturation. We offer a variety of rounds tailored for different circumstances and can create custom blends to meet the specific needs of your agency.

Available Variants
Choose Your Round
Six variants — each tuned for a specific threat level and operational need.
Inert Training Round
The Inert Training Round is an exact replica of our live rounds with no active chemical agent. Designed to give officers realistic deployment experience in a safe environment, it allows teams to practice accuracy, handling, and tactical deployment before transitioning to live rounds.

P2 PAVA Round
The P2 is our standard round, designed for consistent and reliable performance. With 2% PAVA and a 9,500,000 Scoville heat unit rating, it is ideal for general-purpose use in less-lethal engagements. Its 2-meter blast radius provides effective coverage, making it a trusted choice for everyday law enforcement and crowd control applications.

P5 PAVA Round
The P5 delivers increased potency with 5% PAVA, maintaining the same 9,500,000 Scoville heat unit rating as the P2 but with a stronger concentration. Perfect for situations requiring a heightened deterrent effect while ensuring precise and effective results.

C5 Capsaicin Round
The C5 is our most potent round, featuring 5% Capsaicin for unmatched stopping power and a staggering 16,000,000 Scoville heat unit rating. Engineered to deliver maximum sensory impact, it's the ideal choice for high-risk scenarios where immediate compliance is critical. Perfect for law enforcement and emergency response teams needing the highest level of effectiveness.

Glass Breaker Round
The Glass Breaker round is engineered for forced entry scenarios where breaking vehicle or building glass is required. The hardened core delivers concentrated kinetic energy on impact, making it ideal for vehicle interdiction and tactical entry operations.

Kinetic Round
The Kinetic Round delivers focused blunt-force impact without any chemical payload. Ideal for situations where a purely physical deterrent is needed, it provides reliable stopping power at range while minimizing secondary chemical exposure risk.
