Thunderballs DEFENSE .68 — 50-pack
A tough, cost-effective frangible projectile designed for training and less-lethal scenarios. Thunderballs DEFENSE are solid .68-cal spheres filled with a steel slurry and engineered to deliver strong stopping power through mass while breaking down into a powder on impact — minimising penetration, ricochet and hazardous fragments. The result is a dependable round that combines reliable feeding and consistent accuracy with a safer terminal behaviour for controlled indoor and outdoor training.
Why choose Thunderballs DEFENSE
Frangible on impact — shatters into powder rather than producing sharp fragments, reducing penetration and rebound.
High mass = real stopping effect — designed to deliver convincing kinetic feedback for scenario work and training.
Solid, reliable construction — feeds smoothly in magazines and barrels, offering better consistency than many filled or hollow rounds.
Safer for controlled environments — suitable for use on hard targets at close range under supervised, safe conditions.
Cost-effective — good for repeated drills, plinking and scenario practice.
