CO2 rubber bullets rifles

Why choose a rubber bullet gun ?

Advantages of the rubber bullet rifle for personal defense

The CO2 rubber bullet rifle is an ideal defense solution for those seeking a compromise between efficiency and safety. One of the main advantages of this type of weapon is its ability to neutralize an aggressor from a distance, while reducing the risk of serious injury. Thanks to the power of rubber projectiles, it can cause intense pain and temporary disorientation, which is usually enough to stop an aggression. Unlike conventional firearms, the use of a CO2 rifle considerably reduces the risk of lethal injury, while remaining an effective deterrent.

Cartridge versatility: white, pepper, rubber and chalk

Another advantage of the rifle is its versatility. Depending on the model, it can use different types of cartridges, each with a specific purpose. Blank cartridges, for example, can be used for safe training, or to produce an impressive noise to deter an intruder without having to fire a projectile. Pepper cartridges, on the other hand, release an irritating cloud that can neutralize the aggressor, preventing him from seeing and breathing properly for several minutes.

Rubber bullets, of course, offer direct defense by inflicting a painful shock, while chalk or paint cartridges mark the assailant for later follow-up. This diversity makes the CO2 rubber bullet rifle extremely adaptable to different defense scenarios.

Range and accuracy of rifles with rubber bullets

Rifles with rubber bullets are also distinguished by their range and accuracy. In contrast to more compact defensive pistols, CO2 rifles allow you to shoot at a greater distance, generally up to twenty meters, depending on the model. This offers a significant advantage in defensive situations, as it enables you to maintain a safe distance while still being able to neutralize the aggressor. What's more, these weapons are often equipped with sighting systems, or can be fitted with accessories such as precision scopes, which considerably improve the accuracy of shots. This combination of range and precision makes them an effective tool for protecting your home or loved ones.
