What the SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS Round Does
The SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS is a non-lethal projectile round that combines a powdered PAVA and CS formulation. On impact, the round breaks open and releases a cloud of chemical agent that causes temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, and severe distress. The particles are designed to "hang" in the air, creating a lingering barrier that can incapacitate an attacker without permanent harm.
These rounds are not a traditional spray or fogger. They are fired from a compatible launcher, travel at speed, and deliver the same kinetic energy as being hit by a baseball at 30 mph. The effective range is significantly longer than typical handheld pepper sprays, making them a choice for situations where you need stand-off distance.
Key Product Specifications
- SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS: Mace Ultra Rounds are accurate up to 150+ feet vs the shorter range of traditional non-lethal tools. This extended range lets you engage a threat from a safer distance compared to a typical OC spray canister.
SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS - SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS: Mace Ultra Rounds travel up to 350 feet per second, delivering the same kinetic energy as being hit by a baseball at 30 mph. The kinetic impact adds a physical deterrent on top of the chemical agent, which can stop an attacker even before the cloud fully takes effect.
- SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS: Mace Ultra Rounds have a 5 year shelf life when stored properly. Knowing the shelf life helps you rotate stock and avoid relying on expired rounds that may not perform as expected.
Safety and Legal Considerations Before You Buy
Because these rounds contain a chemical irritant, they are regulated in certain states. According to the product record, irritant rounds cannot be shipped to California, New York, or Massachusetts. If your billing address is in one of those states, you must provide an alternate shipping address or your order will be cancelled. Kits with alternate inert rounds are available for those states.
You must be 18 or older to purchase. The rounds are supplied in a child-resistant, tamper-evident, air-tight storage jar that protects the ammunition and keeps it secure from unintended access.
The product record does not include specific instructions for loading, aiming, or firing. You should refer to the launcher manufacturer's manual for proper handling and always treat the device as you would any projectile weapon. Practice with inert training rounds if available to build familiarity before carrying live chemical rounds.
How to Deploy the SALT + MACE Ultra Pava CS Safely
These steps summarize general safe handling principles. Always follow the launcher manufacturer's instructions and any local laws regarding chemical agent use.
- 1. Confirm your legal right to carry and deploy: Check that you are in a jurisdiction where chemical irritant rounds are legal to possess and use. Verify you are 18 or older and that your shipping address is not in a restricted state.
- 2. Store rounds in the provided jar until use: Keep the rounds in the child-resistant, tamper-evident, air-tight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the 5-year shelf life.
- 3. Load the round into a compatible launcher: Follow the launcher's loading procedure. Ensure the round is seated properly. Do not force or modify the round.
- 4. Aim and fire at the intended target: Aim for center mass or the area you intend to stop. The round will break on contact and release the chemical cloud. Be aware of wind direction to avoid self-contamination.
- 5. Move away after deployment: The cloud will linger in the air. After firing, create distance and seek cover or exit. Do not remain downwind of the cloud.
Understanding the Effects and Aftermath
The PAVA and CS combination causes immediate temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, and severe impact distress. These effects are designed to be non-lethal and reversible. If you or someone else is exposed to the cloud, move to fresh air immediately. Do not rub eyes; flush with water if available. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
The product record states that the technology has been proven safe and effective by police and military around the world, but individual reactions can vary. Always treat the aftermath with the same seriousness as the deployment.
