This kit is designed for users who prioritize rugged, battery-free reliability and straightforward operation. By pairing a projectile launcher for long-distance defense with a gel launcher for close-quarters or windy conditions, the DUO CORE Kit provides a versatile \"layered defense\" system without the need for electronic maintenance or charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003eDual Mechanical Launchers: Includes the HERO 2020 CORE (Projectile Launcher) and the HERO AIIRO CORE (Gel Launcher) in a single, cost-effective bundle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003eLayered Defense Capability: Provides the flexibility to choose the right tool for the environment—irritant projectiles for 21-foot distance or sticky PavaGel™ for indoor\/windy scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003eStreamlined Defense: Both devices in the CORE series are purely mechanical and nitrogen-powered, ready for immediate deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003eHigh-Velocity Nitrogen System: Utilizes professional-grade nitrogen cartridges to deliver consistent, high-pressure payloads that are not affected by temperature fluctuations or leaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003eDurable \u0026amp; Low-Maintenance: Stripped of electronic components, these devices are exceptionally rugged and designed for long-term carry in demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\"\u003eEasy-to-Use Mechanics: Both launchers feature intuitive safety and firing mechanisms designed for high-stress situations, with an ergonomic design accessible to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003eRange: Up to 21 Feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003ePropulsion Type: Nitrogen-Actuated (Non-Flammable)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003eMaintenance: None, with no charging or batteries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003eCapacity: 2 shots per cartridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003eConstruction: High-strength engineered polymers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\"\u003eManufacturing: Designed and Assembled in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,7,0\"\u003eLegal Status: Non-lethal; typically no permit or background check required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the DUO Kit and the DUO CORE Kit?\u003c\/b\u003e The DUO CORE Kit features the mechanical-only versions of the HERO 2020 and AIIRO. It does not include the electronic features found in the standard kit, such as the 600-lumen light, laser sight, or audible alarm. This makes the CORE kit lighter, battery-free, and more affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat ammunition does the DUO CORE Kit use?\u003c\/b\u003e The kit utilizes two different defensive technologies. The HERO 2020 CORE fires irritant projectiles that create a powder cloud on impact, while the AIIRO CORE fires a concentrated stream of PavaGel™ that sticks to the target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this kit better for home defense or everyday carry?\u003c\/b\u003e It is designed for both. Many users keep the HERO 2020 CORE for home security due to its longer range, while using the ultra-slim AIIRO CORE as their primary everyday carry (EDC) tool for commuting, running, or travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAre the devices in the DUO CORE Kit reloadable?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. Both devices feature quick-swap cartridge systems. Once you have deployed your two shots, you can replace the spent cartridge with a fresh one in under 5 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HERO Defense Systems LLC","offers":[{"title":"Charcoal","offer_id":44353275330813,"sku":"DUO-COR-CHAR","price":358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic","offer_id":44353275363581,"sku":"DUO-COR-CLASS","price":358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":44353275396349,"sku":"DUO-COR-BLUE","price":358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate Blue","offer_id":44353275429117,"sku":"DUO-COR-SLATE","price":358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/6667\/3796\/files\/Duo-Outside.jpg?v=1750192825","url":"https:\/\/hero-defense-systems.myshopify.com\/products\/duo-core","provider":"HERO Defense Systems LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
