Exceptional Power – Ready Out of the Box

Thanks to the Quick-Piercing CO₂ system, the launcher can be stored unpressurised and activated instantly when required. Therefore, it remains safe during storage while still being ready for immediate use. Ultimately, this makes the Pistelle X-68 an outstanding choice for high-performance personal defence.
