The Lightfield Home Defender Rubber Buck in .410 Bore represents a judicious choice for those prioritizing non-lethal home defense. Designed with precision, this ammunition delivers a formidable deterrent without the immediate lethality of traditional rounds.
This pack includes five cartridges, each loaded with four .406 diameter rubber projectiles housed within a 2.5-inch shell. When deployed from an 18-inch pump shotgun, these rounds achieve velocities up to 1400 feet per second at three feet, imparting an energy transfer of 182 foot-pounds—a significant force designed to incapacitate rather than kill.
For versatility across platforms, these rounds can also be fired from shorter firearms such as a 4-inch revolver or even a compact Derringer. The velocity and energy adjust accordingly—1150 fps and 123 ft/lbs for the revolver; while reduced to 1000 fps and delivering 93 ft/lbs when used with a Derringer.
The primary application remains close-range defensive use within one's domicile. While these rubber buckshot loads serve effectively as painful warning shots under most conditions, potential users must remain cognizant that they can prove lethal depending on various factors including range and point of impact.
Select the Lightfield Home Defender for its strategic balance between safety and stopping power—an ideal option for home defense where restraint is paramount yet readiness cannot be compromised.
