Lightfield High-Velocity Star 12 Gauge 2.75in Less-Lethal Round

The Lightfield High-Velocity Star (part no. LHDST12) is a specialty 12 gauge round built for close-range defensive use, intended to deliver a painful deterrent effect at short distance. Lightfield designed this round with the understanding that it loses most of its effective energy beyond about 15 yards, so it is meant strictly as a close-range tool, not a general-purpose load. Manufacturer documentation is direct that while the Star round can serve as a painful warning shot, it can also be lethal under some circumstances, and it must be selected and deployed only by someone who fully understands that reality and the applicable legal considerations in their situation. This shotgun shells is a highly specialized round, not a substitute for a dedicated buckshot or slug defensive load.
