Running low on launcher ammunition is not a contingency plan. For anyone who carries a Streetwise HEAT Pepper Launcher as a primary non-lethal option, having a backup supply of PAVA Pepper Ball Refills on hand is basic operational readiness. Each sealed .50 caliber round ruptures on impact and releases a 5% PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide) powder cloud, creating an area irritant effect without requiring direct contact.
Who This Pepper Ball Refill Is For
These refills are built for Streetwise HEAT Pepper Launcher owners who treat their gear as a serious defensive tool, not a novelty item. They fit security professionals who need to replenish after training drills, responsible gun owners who want a non-lethal option that reaches beyond arm’s length, and preparedness-minded individuals who understand that an empty launcher is no launcher at all. If you train with your launcher or rotate your ammunition on a schedule, this 10-round pack is the logical resupply unit.

PAVA Pepper Ball Refills Features and Benefits
- 5% PAVA Payload: Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide is the active irritant — the same concentration relied on in professional deterrence applications, not a diluted consumer formula.
- Impact-Activated Dispersal: The ABS casing ruptures on contact, releasing a powder cloud that affects a wider area than a point-impact round alone.
- Stainless Steel and ABS Construction: The dual-material casing — stainless steel and ABS — maintains round integrity during storage and in-flight, so what you store is what performs.
- .50 Caliber Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Streetwise HEAT Pepper Launcher and compatible .50 cal systems. Dimensions are 0.6″ x 0.6″ x 5.3″.
- 10-Round Pack: Enough for a meaningful training session or a full emergency reload, packaged as a practical resupply quantity.
- Effective Range: Rated to 4 feet for reliable impact and dispersal performance within the launcher’s intended operational envelope.
- 1-Year Warranty: Each pack is backed by a one-year warranty, reflecting confidence in the round’s construction and seal integrity.

PAVA Pepper Ball Refills: Frequently Asked Questions
What caliber are the PAVA Pepper Ball Refills?
These rounds are .50 caliber, measuring 0.6″ x 0.6″ x 5.3″. They are engineered for the Streetwise HEAT Pepper Launcher and other compatible .50 cal launcher platforms. Always confirm your launcher’s caliber specification before loading any ammunition.
How does the PAVA Pepper Ball Refill activate?
Each round is impact-activated. When the projectile strikes a surface or target, the ABS casing ruptures and releases the 5% PAVA powder as a dispersing irritant cloud. No additional mechanism is required — activation is entirely contact-driven, making it straightforward to deploy under stress.
What is PAVA and how does it work as an irritant?
PAVA stands for Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide, a synthetic capsaicinoid that irritates the eyes, respiratory tract, and exposed skin on contact. At 5% concentration, it is the active ingredient in professional-grade deterrence rounds. It causes an involuntary physical response that disrupts a threat without causing permanent injury.
How many rounds come in a pack and what is the warranty?
Each pack contains 10 rounds. The pack is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. If you train regularly or want a reliable backup supply on hand, purchasing multiple packs ensures you are never caught with an empty launcher when readiness matters most.
Add These Rounds to Your Launcher Kit
A pepper launcher without quality ammunition is just hardware. Select your quantity, add the PAVA Pepper Ball Refills to your cart, and keep your Streetwise HEAT Pepper Launcher mission-ready.
