Pepper guns close the gap between a traditional spray and a firearm — giving you standoff distance, directed fire, and multiple rounds without lethal force. These aren’t novelty items. The launchers and ammunition in this category are built for people who need a credible deterrent at range: homeowners, security professionals, and anyone who wants more reach than a standard pepper spray can deliver.
This lineup covers the full system — the Streetwise Heat CO2 pepper launcher, pepper ball ammunition in PAVA and rubber configurations, marking rounds, and Mace refill cartridges. Everything you need to run a complete non-lethal defense setup.

Conventional pepper spray tops out at 10–15 feet in ideal conditions. The Streetwise Heat extends that to 60 feet using CO2 propulsion and .50 caliber rounds — putting meaningful distance between you and a threat before engagement. That range changes the tactical equation entirely. You're not waiting for someone to be arm's length away before you act.
The Heat launcher is compatible with three round types: PAVA pepper balls for maximum chemical effect, rubber rounds for impact-only pain compliance, and Quicksilver marking rounds that tag a threat with visible powder for ID purposes later. Each has a different job. Running a mix of all three gives you flexibility for how a situation unfolds — and the 30-round kit included with the complete system lets you do exactly that.
Every pepper gun and accessory we carry ships ready to run. The Heat Complete Kit includes the launcher, 30 rounds of mixed ammunition, a Picatinny rail for accessories, and CO2 power — no hunting for extra parts. The heavy-duty nylon holster adds belt carry for fast access. Mace refill cartridges are available for those running the Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 platform. These are purpose-built defense tools, not range toys, and they're backed by our USA-based support team if you have questions on setup or legal use in your state.
Q: Are pepper guns legal in my state?
Pepper guns and pepper ball launchers are legal in most U.S. states, but regulations vary — some states restrict chemical agent concentration, require minimum age, or prohibit certain configurations. Check your specific state and local laws before purchasing. Our Laws & Restrictions page covers known state-level restrictions for reference.
Q: How far can a pepper gun shoot?
The Streetwise Heat is rated to 60 feet — considerably farther than traditional pepper spray. Effective range depends on round type and conditions, but the CO2 propulsion system delivers consistent velocity regardless of temperature, unlike aerosol sprays that lose pressure in cold weather.
Q: Can I practice with the pepper gun before I need it?
Yes — and you should. The Mace Dual Pack includes one OC cartridge and one water practice cartridge so you can train on the same platform you'll deploy under stress. Practice rounds let you build muscle memory on draw, aim, and trigger pull without burning through live ammunition or exposing yourself to chemical irritants.
Q: What's the difference between PAVA pepper balls and rubber rounds?
PAVA pepper balls rupture on impact and release a chemical irritant — 5% PAVA powder — that causes respiratory distress and eye pain. Rubber rounds deliver blunt impact only, no chemical agent. PAVA is your primary deterrent; rubber rounds are for pain compliance situations where you don't want chemical deployment.
Q: How many shots does a pepper gun hold?
The Streetwise Heat holds 6 rounds per load. It's CO2 powered, so each CO2 cartridge delivers multiple shots — check your specific CO2 cartridge specs for shot count. The Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 platform uses a single-use OC cartridge rated for 7 bursts at up to 20 feet.
