    Innovation at HERO®

    HERO® offers a range of innovative non-lethal defense tools that stand out in the market. Let’s take a closer look at these patented, award-winning products:

    HERO® 2020

    HERO® 2020 is a compact, powerful multi-format projectile pistol. Users can select either chemical irritant or kinetic projectiles to fit their environment and local regulations. Irritant filled PavaBalls explode into a cloud, engulfing and quickly incapacitating the target, while hard polymer BluntForce rounds deliver a powerful, non-lethal blow to the target. Both options provide an effective and humane means of self-defense, making HERO® 2020 an effective and dependable option for self-defense. HERO® 2020 is available with a laser sight and stun light.

    AIIRO®

    AIIRO® is another cutting-edge product from HERO® offering superior protection in a concealable, compact design. This device combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it accessible for anyone to use. With the press of a button AIIRO® fires PavaGel, a debilitating pepper gel that sticks to the target. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to self-defense, AIIRO® provides a reliable option for keeping yourself safe. AIIRO® is available with a 120db button activated alarm to draw attention and startle attackers.

    Application and Effectiveness

    Whether you’re a security-conscious consumer or a law enforcement professional, these tools offer a safe and reliable means of self-defense.

The confidence and peace of mind provided by such a tool is invaluable.

    For Law Enforcement

    Law enforcement agencies can rely on the quality and power of HERO® products. In situations where lethal force is not warranted, these non-lethal tools provide an effective alternative. Officers can disable threats while minimizing the risk of injury or fatality, ensuring a safer outcome for everyone involved.

    The HERO® Difference

    Compact and Concealable

    Packing so much power into a small package wasn’t easy. It took years of research and development to build products that fit easily into a pocket or purse. HERO® 2020 and AIIRO® are among the smallest devices of their kind available, providing compact, concealable defense wherever you go.

    Advanced Technology

    HERO® products are built with advanced technologies beyond basic pepper spray or stun guns. Our products combine the best features in the industry with superior performance, providing a more effective means of self-defense. For instance, pepper gels and pepper projectiles offer greater range and impact, while devices like BluntForce provide powerful, non-lethal deterrents in places where irritants may not be allowed.

    Nitrogen vs. CO2

    One of the standout features of HERO® products is the use of nitrogen instead of CO2. Nitrogen provides more consistent performance, ensuring your defense tool works reliably when you need it most. This is a significant advantage that sets HERO® apart from other non-lethal defense options.

    Form Factor

    Engineered from the ground up, HERO® products have won awards for their patented, award-winning designs. Easy to hold, carry, and use, even those unfamiliar with firearms can use HERO® products with minimal training.
