LAW ENFORCEMENT
Less Lethal
Lightfield has developed a full line of less lethal ammunition that has many applications for the law
enforcement and security industries.The new Lightfield line includes patent pending designs with
velocity and kinetic energies calibrated for range specific applications. This product line is intended to
provide non-lethal knockdown power as a measure to control individual in a variety of threatening
situations. Some of these rounds are also perfect for home defense. They will render an intruder
immobile without killing them.
Lightfield has calibrated its Less Lethal line into the following basic classes: Close range 8-25 yards,
Mid-range 15-40 yards and Extended range 30+ yard.
Lightfield believes ammunition that is safe and effective at close range on humans may be
underpowered for large animals at greater ranges. Likewise, loads that are effective at extended
ranges may be too powerful for humans at close range. In response to that situation, Lightfield has
calibrated its wildlife control line into the following basic classes: Close range 8-25 yards, Mid-range
15-40 yards and Extended range 30+ yard.
Starlite
The StarLite is a close-range less lethal impact projectile intended
for direct fire at targets between 1 and 10 yards. The user should
only target large muscle groups and soft tissue from the abdomen
and below. Always avoid targeting the head, neck, thorax, spine,
kidney area and groin as serious injury or death may occur.
The patented design of the ‘Star’ projectile intentionally embodies properties that virtually eliminate the
undesirable tendencies of the typical drag stabilized, sock style bean-bag. The Star design utilizes less
weight and higher velocity than other single projectile loads. The Star’s larger overall diameter and
flexible composition compliments its other properties to allow for a safer deposition of Kinetic Energy.
The overall design of the Star greatly reduces the likelihood of penetration, broken bones or deep
internal injury. Click here for SPECS.
HV Star
The HV Star is a Close to Mid-Range less lethal impact projectile
intended for direct fire at targets between 5 and 25 yards.
SuperStar
The SuperStar is a close-range less lethal impact projectile
intended for direct fire at targets between 2 and 15 yards. The user
should only target large muscle groups and soft tissue from the
abdomen and below. Always avoid targeting the head, neck,
thorax, spine, kidney area and groin as serious injury or death may
occur.

These breaching rounds are a “must-have” for any law enforcement
agency’s arsenal. This non-lethal means for breaching an entry is
powerful and effective. Watch the video or our breaching rounds in

Rubber Buckshot
This is the ‘traditional’ aversive conditioning round, improved to carry a larger payload. There are 21
.32 caliber PVC balls moving at 700 fps. This load is designed for close to intermediate encounters
with large game such as Bear, Moose, Elk or Deer. The 21 pellets spread into a large pattern to impart
a painful stimuli over a large area with little risk of injury.
Double Ball
This load is an improvement on traditional rubber buckshot. This
load has two .73 cal. projectiles rather than many smaller ones. At
the same 700 fps, two larger balls carry kinetic energy farther than
small ones and are more effective at greater distances. The bore
sized projectiles also enhance accuracy at greater distance. The 2
balls divide the total K.E. across two impact points, creating a
strong pain stimulus without penetration.
Note: The Extended Range Rubber Slug should only be used in Cylinder or Improved Cylinder-choked
rifle barrels only.
