The Power of Projectiles: Precision, Performance, Responsible

October 05, 20255 min read

Projectiles are the performance engine behind any defensive or sporting system. Whether you’re training, hunting, or equipping a protection rig, the right projectile delivers predictable ballistics, consistent terminal effect, and safe handling. At Hofesh Sales, we prioritize quality, reliability, and responsible sourcing, so your gear performs when it matters and you stay in control.

Projectiles demand respect. Good selection balances purpose, platform, and legality: match the round to the device, choose quality over bargains, and store and handle everything safely. Below, we break projectiles into practical groups and highlight three products in each category to help you build a smarter, safer loadout.

From Tube to Target: Building a Projectile Plan

Whether you need training rounds, CO₂ support, or duty-grade ammunition, your choices should reduce variables and improve outcomes. Always prioritize reputable brands, consistent manufacturing, and proper storage to avoid misfeeds, squib loads, or performance drift.

Projectiles aren’t one-size-fits-all, they’re specialized tools. Match the round to the role, not the other way around. Test trusted loads in your actual platform, keep spare propellant and power systems on hand, and store ammo in cool, dry, labeled containers so you can deploy with confidence when it matters.

Hofesh Sales curates a full range of projectile solutions that combine reliability with real-world purpose, covering every need from safe training to mission-ready performance:

  1. Personal Defense – Compact pistol rounds, defensive shotgun loads, and vetted less-lethal rounds (pepperballs, gel cartridges) for close-quarters stopping power and controlled response.

  2. Power & Propulsion – CO₂ cartridges, PCP compressors, and gas/air systems that deliver consistent muzzle energy and repeatable shot-to-shot performance for both non-lethal launchers and pneumatic platforms.

  3. Training & Drills – Economical BBs, pellets, and training projectiles that mirror real loads’ flight characteristics so you build skill without wasting high-cost ammo.

  4. Precision & Field – Rifle and sniper-grade cartridges engineered for stable ballistics, consistent velocity, and terminal performance for hunting, range work, and professional use.

  5. Specialty Loads – Slugs, less-lethal shotgun rounds, and mission-specific projectiles (subsonic, frangible, or breaching) that solve niche problems when standard rounds won’t do.

Each product we feature below fits into one of those layers, helping you build a holistic projectile system that adapts to your mission, not the other way around.

1. Balls & Gel: Safe Distance, Smart Defense

Less-lethal doesn’t mean less effective. Gel and powder-based rounds like PavaBalls and pepper projectiles deliver strong impact and temporary incapacitation, ideal for home defense, crowd control, or law enforcement scenarios where minimizing harm matters.

These options are perfect for homeowners, tactical trainers, and professionals who value control and accountability in every shot.
