Lancer TacticalDefense Ball 0.43 Cal for Self Defense Includes Pepper Projectile for Use in All Pepper Projectile Launchers in 0.43 Cal, Pack of 8

Worked really well in the paintball gun I have. It’s a great way to deliver a deterrence to anyone that is hostile. I have these available in order to deal with a home intruder. These balls pack a heavy sting and release a strong pepper powder. I imagine rounds these would be harsh on a paintball range. Not my advice, just saying they work.

Good price, seem to be high quality I didn't notice any defects - I haven't run any through the PPQ - haven't had a need to use any. I put them in a airtight bag and I'm keeping them at constant 65-75 degrees. Not sure how long they last, but I have some paint balls I bought at the same time and those are just fine, I keep them stored the same way. I will most likely pick up some more just have some newer ones on hand.

I have to admit I didn't expect much from these being so small and less potent than the byrna brand. In spite of that I was impressed! I had my wife shoot one at our axe target while I stood near it. I was about 3 feet away and with my first breath after impact began sneezing and could feel the burning in my eyes and nose starting. The effects were fairly substantial for several minutes with only a single proximity hit.

These are the second set of 10 pepper balls that I've bought. The first ten I bought off another site some of the balls have disintegrated. None of these have disintegrated so far. They look exactly like the older ones I bought. I know the old ones would have worked because just cleaning the magazine of the white pepper dust gave me the sniffles, and watery eyes. If I had a lot of money I would test some of these before I needed them for self defense. I do test the gun I use with rubber balls once in a while. But, hopefully I'll never need them for defending my home which is where I keep my gun. I do have a more lethal weapon, but I am not thrilled about having to injure or kill someone.

So I tried to show off these rounds to a friend and the second one exploded out of the barrel and gassed us out so be careful. Leaving a 5 star review because the experience was very very painful for a long time and I believe a direct hit with the full cloud will put anyone on there back. Use caution and shoot with caution of the wind mess around and find out

Very effective

at the beginning of target practice I saw one of these pepper balls.I gave it a second and I went over and check the area out.the rest of practice I was shooting aluminum balls into cans and styrofoam and whateverMy eyes and nose were watering so bad from one little effing ball.definitely worth getting and just do every other round with aluminum and pepper and I think you'll be okay.I'm still coughing and nose running and it's been 1 hour off of one little ball 😂definitely buying again and maybe thinking twice about needing a bigger caliper like the 50 or 68

Yep i decided to take these things out of there tube and mess around with them like an idiot and one of them spilled on my finger a tiny bit not even enough to see it (user error) i then rubbed my nose about 30 seconds later and immediately started feeling burning on my nose i wiped it again and it started really hurting and burning then i realized it was on my finger my nose started running and burning bad, and this was only a small amount that i couldn’t even see i can’t imagine what would happen if the entire thing busted open
