HERO products utilize PAVA, a synthetic form of capsaicin, known for its intense heat and irritation properties. PAVA binds to the receptors that send pain and heat signals to the brain, causing targets to experience intense burning on the skin (as if exposed to scalding heat), difficulty seeing, fits of coughing, and discomfort for up to an hour. There are no long term effects. Used and trusted by police, security, and military around the world, PAVA stops attackers in their tracks – so you can get to safety.
Unparalleled quality in less-lethal protection. Uniquely engineered nitrogen powered system launches irritant filled projectiles up to 175FPS from 20 feet away.
Powerful blasts of sticky and debilitating chemical irritant gel. At the size of an iPhone, AIIRO is easily concealed in a pocket, purse,
or bag. Includes 120dB Alarm.
