What Is a Powder Torpedo?

The Powder Torpedo is different from a normal round 0.50 calibre ball.

It has a longer, shaped body.

Mercury Rise designed this shape for its Torpedo Revolver system.

The longer shape gives the projectile more space inside for the powder fill.

It also gives the projectile a different shape and feel compared with a normal round ball.

Practice Round With No PAVA

The Powder Torpedo is the practice version in the Mercury Rise Torpedo range.

It does not contain PAVA pepper powder.

That is an important difference.

Mercury Rise also makes a separate Pepper Torpedo with an active pepper fill.

Use the Powder Torpedo when you want to practise with the Torpedo shape without using an active pepper-filled projectile.

Why Train With the Powder Version?

Training can help you get to know your launcher and its loading system.

The Powder Torpedo allows you to practise with the same style of shaped projectile.

You can use it to practise:

• Loading the magazine
• Handling the Torpedo rounds
• Operating the launcher
• Testing the launcher setup
• Checking feeding
• Checking projectile fit

This can help you become more familiar with your equipment.

It can also help you spot loading or feeding problems before you need to use another projectile type.

Made for the Mercury Rise Torpedo Revolver

Mercury Rise designed the Powder Torpedo for its 0.50 calibre Torpedo Revolver.

The launcher is made to use both standard 0.50 calibre balls and Mercury Rise Torpedo-shaped projectiles.

The Torpedo shape is one of the main features of this system.

Always use the correct magazine and follow the maker’s loading instructions.

Why Does the Shape Matter?

A normal 0.50 calibre ball is round.

The Mercury Rise Torpedo has a longer shape.

This gives the projectile more room inside for powder.

It also gives the projectile a different profile from a normal round ball.

Actual results can still change depending on:

• Launcher condition
• Gas pressure
• Temperature
• Magazine fit
• Projectile condition

Always check your equipment before use.

Moisture Barrier Packaging

The Powder Torpedoes are supplied in a sealed moisture barrier bag.

This helps protect the rounds before use.

Mercury Rise recommends opening the bag only when you are ready to use the projectiles.

Moisture in the air can affect powder-filled rounds after the bag has been opened.

Keep unused rounds dry and protected.

Storage and Handling

Store the Powder Torpedoes in a cool and dry place.

Keep them away from moisture and direct heat.

Do not crush or damage the projectile.

Check each round before loading it.

Do not use a projectile if it is cracked, damaged or badly deformed.

These projectiles are made for single use and should not be reused after firing.
