Velocity is 930 fps at 3 feet from muzzle.

An option for those who traditionally use buckshot rounds is Rio's Rubber Buck Shot Cartridge. This ammunition works well to defuse escalating situations like violent demonstrations and riots, as well as animal control. This round fires 15, 55A durometer pellets of equal diameter, enabling law enforcement to safely engage both single and multiple targets. The pellets scatter with a patterned dispersal at a high velocity of 1220 fps out of the muzzle. This 12 gauge round has an effective range of 7 to 15 yards.
