Hevi-Shot Introduces Self-Defense Round
Environ-Metal, Inc., the makers of HEVI-Shot has introduced a new self-defense round that is ideal in close quarters. HEVI-Duty™ is well worth its weight – a single round certain to become a best friend when close-quarters protection is necessary.
“When we developed HEVI-Duty™, we did so with a frangible pellet. We knew this load is going to be used at close distances where full-penetration is paramount, but the shot needs to return to its original powder state when it strikes hard surfaces such as concrete, steel, and rock.” Said Environ-Metal’s VP of Sales & Marketing Kelly Sorensen. “All of our products are known for their high-performance qualities, and we built these same standards into HEVI-Duty™.
Lives could, and probably will depend on this product delivering on its promise so we took our time developing this new round. We have extensively tested it under defense style testing situations utilizing ballistic gelatin and common items of clothing to ensure it would perform to our requirements. It is this type of attention to detail that we are known as The industry leader in innovative ammunition.”
HEVI-Duty comes in 12 gauge 2 ¾”. It travels at 1250 fps in its #4 buck and #00 buck. #4 buck offers 30 pellets while #00 buck offers 12. It is non-toxic and very low recoil. Hopefully you will never need to use a HEVI-Duty™ round other than at the practice range, but rest assured that HEVI-Duty™ offers full-penetration on soft tissue and bone while remaining frangible. It is packed 5 rounds per box and in a 100 round dry box.
