Rubber Balls | PDW50 | .50 | 200pcs | Vesta Defence

Vesta Defence Rubber Balls – versatile training projectiles

These rubber projectiles from Vesta Defence are developed for special applications where traditional air rifle ammunition is not desired. With a caliber of 12.7mm / .50 and a hardness rating of 098 HA, these rubber balls offer a unique combination of impact and safety. The high-density rubber material provides good kinetic energy without the risk of penetration, making them suitable for training scenarios and situations where less lethal projectiles are required.

Our experience from the Shogun team

Unlike conventional pellets, these rubber projectiles behave differently during flight. The solid rubber construction makes them less susceptible to wind at shorter distances, but due to their lower weight they lose velocity faster than metal projectiles. For distances up to 20 metres they maintain a consistent trajectory, after which they noticeably drop. The major advantage is that these projectiles are reusable – after shooting they can be collected, cleaned and used again, making them economically attractive for intensive training sessions.

Technical characteristics in practice

With a diameter of 12.7mm / .50, these rubber balls fit in large caliber air rifles suitable for this format. The hardness of 098 HA means the rubber is firm enough to retain its shape during loading and firing, but soft enough not to cause damage to the barrel. The package contains 200 pieces, sufficient for extensive training sessions. The waterproof nature of the rubber means they can be used in all weather conditions without loss of quality.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These rubber projectiles are ideal for shooters who want to use their pistol for training or demonstration purposes where safety is paramount. Think of instructors who want to train new shooters without the risk of penetrating projectiles, or users who want to practise at home where traditional ammunition would be too dangerous. Also for recreational shooters who want to shoot at reactive targets without damage, these rubber balls are an excellent choice. Their reusable nature makes them particularly suitable for those who want to train regularly without constantly purchasing new ammunition.
