Grimburg Fireballs 15% PAVA – 5% CS – 6 Gram Irritant Pepperball Projectiles 68 Caliber

Yes — pepper balls are designed to cause intense, short-term pain and incapacitation. On contact or after the projectile bursts they can produce burning eyes, burning throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, nausea, disorientation and temporary loss of function. Severity varies by formulation, dose, distance, and the subject’s medical condition; misuse can cause serious injury or worse, so follow all safety and legal guidance.

Grimburg Fireballs — why they’re the strongest

Grimburg Fireballs are engineered to be the most powerful irritant projectiles available. Each round combines a heavy chemical load, reinforced shell, and 6-gram payload to withstand high-energy launchers and disperse a dense cloud on impact. The formula contains 15% PAVA (pelargonic acid vanillylamide) and 5% CS (chlorobenzalmalononitrile), a blend that delivers faster onset, wider coverage, and more reliable incapacitation than lighter, lower-concentration rounds.

Understanding SHU and chemistry: SHU (Scoville Heat Units) measures the “heat” of capsaicin in OC (oleoresin capsicum) products. Fireballs rely instead on PAVA, a potent synthetic capsaicinoid, paired with CS, a tear-gas compound. PAVA is reported by concentration rather than SHU, but higher percentages—like Fireballs’ 15%—indicate extreme potency. Together with 5% CS, this formula doubles bio-availability compared to other PAVA powders and maximizes incapacitating effects.

Why it matters

• Concentration: High percentage of active irritants means stronger chemical impact per burst.
• Payload mass (6 g): A larger load produces a denser, longer-lasting cloud.
• Delivery energy and shell strength: Reinforced shells survive powerful launchers so the round bursts on target, not in the barrel.
• Synergy: PAVA targets pain receptors while CS triggers tearing and respiratory distress, creating stronger effects together than alone.

Practical details & safety

• Shelf life: 3 years after opening or 5 years sealed, when stored correctly.
• Uses: Law enforcement, vehicle denial, home defense, and crowd-management by trained professionals.
• Restrictions: Cannot be shipped to New York, New Jersey, California, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Canada. May be lethal if misused. Not for recreational use, paintball, or testing on people/animals.

Use only as directed and only by trained, authorized users.

A pepperball gun (or launcher) is a non-lethal delivery device that fires polymer projectiles filled with chemical irritants (OC/PAVA, CS, etc.). When the projectile impacts it ruptures and disperses the irritant to temporarily incapacitate or deter a target. Launchers vary (CO₂/pressurized, spring, or compressed gas systems) and some are purpose-built for higher-energy rounds while others are lower-power markers.

Yes — when used properly and under the right conditions they are effective at producing rapid temporary incapacitation and area denial. Effectiveness depends on formulation, range, accuracy, environmental factors (wind, enclosed spaces), and whether the target is protected (glasses, masks). They are a tool for trained users.

They can be worth it for law-enforcement, security teams, or trained civilians who need a non-lethal option: they offer range and area-effect that sprays or handheld sprays do not. Consider cost, training, legal restrictions in your jurisdiction, maintenance, and whether a given launcher and projectile pair (e.g., high-energy rounds like Grimburg Fireballs) are compatible with your system before purchasing.

Upon exposure they typically cause burning of the eyes and throat, tearing, coughing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, nausea, gagging, excessive salivation, disorientation, and panic. Symptoms normally subside over time or with decontamination, but severe or prolonged exposure can require medical attention.

If you mean shelf life: Grimburg Fireballs are specified as 3 years from opening (or 5 years from date of purchase) when stored per instructions. If you mean how long the effects last on a person: symptom duration varies by dose and exposure — effects commonly persist minutes to an hour or more and decline with decontamination and time; seek medical care if symptoms are severe or prolonged.

Pepper balls are filled with chemical irritants such as PAVA (pelargonic acid vanillylamide) or OC (oleoresin capsicum) and sometimes combined with tear gas compounds such as CS. Grimburg Fireballs use a combined formula (15% PAVA / 5% CS) in a powdered payload designed for rapid dispersion on impact.

Sometimes — but compatibility isn’t guaranteed. Many irritant projectiles are heavier or have different shell strength than paintballs; Grimburg Fireballs are 6-gram, reinforced rounds intended for high-energy launchers. Using them in a standard paintball marker will not cause feeding or firing problems or damage the marker, and should be unsafe. Always follow the projectile and launcher manufacturer’s compatibility guidance and local law; only trained, authorized users should attempt cross-platform use.
