Home Defense

Home Defense Pepperball Gun Equipment

Nobody ever expects to be involved in a home defense situation. However, it could realistically happen to anyone, which is why it's better to have a way to defend yourself rather than be a victim. When it comes to home defense, there is a wide range of options that you could use. Of course, traditional firearms are an option, but these can easily pass through walls and hit unintended targets and present a host of potential legal issues. For people who don't want or can't own firearms, pepperball pistols are excellent non-lethal defense weapons. Not only are they cheaper than traditional firearms, but in a home defense scenario, they're also likely to cause less damage than other means of defense.

Pepperball guns use a special type of munition that contains an irritant similar to pepper spray. When these balls hit their intended target, the powder diffuses into the air and is easily inhaled by the attacker. This irritates their mouth, eyes, and lungs, causing them to cease being a threat and allowing you to get away safely. To see exactly how pepperballs work with pepperball pistols, take a look at our helpful YouTube video below:

Tippmann TiPX

The Tippmann TiPX is known for reliability and accuracy. This home defense pepperball gun is small, light, and the perfect size to fit into most hands. The quick-release 8-round magazine easily slides into the grip and allows you to reload quickly in case 8 shots aren't enough. You also don't need to connect this home defense pistol to any air tanks since it runs off a single 12g CO2 cartridge, which will fire 25-30 rounds. This home defense pistol can easily be stored in a closet, sock drawer, or nightstand for quick deployment when the time comes.

Pepperball Munitions

Pepper ball munitions are effective at deterring attackers and intruders. They do have a shelf-life, and we also recommend practicing with your new home defense pistol to make sure you can use it when the time comes. Additional pepperball munitions can be purchased for practice or simply to have more rounds available in case you need to reload or if there are multiple attackers.

Pepperball LifeLite

The Pepperball LifeLite is a unique take on the pepperball home defense gun. This gun draws its inspiration from flashlights that have a taser or "stun gun" feature. However, many prefer the Pepperball LifeLite over a traditional stun gun flashlight for a number of different reasons. First, stun guns are close-range defense weapons, which puts you within grabbing distance of the attacker. Second, the Pepperball LifeLite comes with a laser feature. This, combined with the flashlight feature, allows you to confidently know what you're shooting at and precisely where you're shooting.

First Strike FSC Pepperball Kit

The First Strike FSC Pepperball Kit is a favorite option for home defense. First Strike is a well-known name in the industry and is highly regarded for its quality and dependability. The FSC Pepperball kit has the advantage of being smaller, making it easier to carry and handle. However, it does hold fewer rounds of pepperballs, which is something to be aware of.
