As 2025 draws to a close, Prepared 2 Protect is wrapping up the year with innovations designed to help safeguard what matters most. Our expanding lineup of less-lethal defense solutions now includes standout products such as the PGS II Pepper Gel launcher, .68 Caliber Core Defense less-lethal projectiles, the .68 Caliber Secure 68 pistol, and the highly anticipated Defensor 68 less-lethal rifle platform.
This expansion provides more versatile options for personal protection, family security, and property defense. The Defensor 68 stands out as a robust less-lethal carbine designed for home environments or situations where a rifle-style platform enhances control and stability.
Modeled after familiar modern sporting rifle designs, the Defensor 68 offers intuitive ergonomics, dependable operation, and compatibility with widely used accessories. Powered by CO2 for consistent performance, it supports standard 12-gram cartridges via a dual CO2 adapter featuring the patented Quick Pierce system for on-demand activation, or larger 88-gram threaded cartridges for extended use.
Unlike compact handheld less-lethal devices, the Defensor 68 delivers increased capacity through a 20-round dual-feed magazine that supports multiple projectile types, including inert powder rounds and solid rubber options. For extended readiness, it can also be configured with a gravity-fed hopper system (sold separately).
As a carbine-style less-lethal launcher, the Defensor 68 benefits from a longer barrel that improves projectile velocity and effective range compared to pistol platforms. Adjustable power settings allow tuning for training or defensive use. When powered by an 88-gram CO2 cartridge, it can generate up to 36 joules of energy—providing a strong deterrent effect while maintaining less-lethal intent.
Designed for adaptability, the Defensor 68 includes multiple sling attachment points, a QD mount for single-point setups, and M-LOK slots for two- or three-point sling configurations. Its M-LOK handguard and full-length Picatinny rail support optics, lights, and accessories. Additional features include selectable semi- and full-auto firing modes, near-recoil-free operation for improved accuracy, a flip safety, and a lightweight yet durable polymer stock.
Whether enhancing a home defense plan or equipping professional teams for crowd management, the Defensor 68 is a versatile less-lethal rifle that combines reliability, power, and adaptability .
