With increasing awareness of humane and effective self-defense options, professionals and enthusiasts are looking for reliable non-lethal solutions for protection. HERO® 2020 and AIIRO® have become the go to solutions for thousands of families and security professionals across the country.

What Sets HERO® Product Apart

HERO® 2020 and AIIRO® have carved a niche in the non-lethal weapons industry by offering patented, award winning products that are easy to conceal and carry wherever you go. With a focus on accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, HERO® devices offer versatile protection, from law enforcement to home defense.

HERO® 2020

A state-of-the-art pepper projectile pistol, HERO® 2020 is one of the smallest multi-format defense tools available on the market. It’s easy to handle and deploy, making it a popular choice for both professionals and individuals seeking a reliable self-defense tool. Users can currently choose between:

• PavaBall:  a non-lethal projectile that bursts on impact, releasing a cloud of debilitating chemical irritant. It’s perfect for crowd control and situations where a wide area needs to be covered quickly.
• BluntForce: Hardy polymer projectiles deliver a forceful impact without penetrating the skin. They are ideal for subduing suspects, controlling aggressive behavior, or as an alternate solution where irritant projectiles are not allowed.

AIIRO®

Lightweight and compact, AIIRO® fires powered aerosol PavaGel that sticks to the target, ensuring maximum effectiveness. It’s designed for controlled deployment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and making it an excellent option for crowded or enclosed spaces. At the size of your smartphone, AIIRO® is easy to slip in a pocket or purse for defense on the go.

Importance of Proper Training

Using non-lethal weapons accurately, safely, and effectively requires proper training. Ideally the action of pulling out your device and firing should become muscle memory. When faced with danger in the real world, there’s rarely time to think.

Let’s explore some essential training tips for HERO® 2020 and AIIRO®.

Safety Protocols

Always follow safety protocols when training with non-lethal weapons. Before you begin, read through your user guide and watch the training videos for your device. Wear protective gear, secure the training area, and never point your weapon at a person or animal when training. Adhering to these guidelines will prevent accidents and injuries.

Handling and Deployment

Regular practice with your device helps familiarize you with weight, safety mechanism, trigger sensitivity, and aim. This will prepare you to react quickly and accurately in high-pressure situations. Practice removing your device from concealment, disabling the safety, and aiming until you no longer have to think about the process.

Target Practice

Conduct drills focusing on improving your aim and precision. Set up targets at the distances recommended in your user guide and practice firing. Your device includes a target and training cartridges specifically for this purpose. Additional training cartridges are available so you can refresh your training at regular intervals.

Mastering the use of your device not only ensures you’re equipped to protect yourself effectively and responsibly, it also boosts your confidence wherever you go.
