Mercury Rise IntruBuster Gen2 is a truly powerful RAM pistol designed mainly for self-defense, but you can also use it for fun and destructive backyard shooting. Like most modern pistols for rubber and pepper projectiles, this model is equipped with a quick-piercing valve, a removable magazine, Picatinny rails and sights with fibre-optic inserts.

Ammunition and power source
This pistol is designed to shoot round .68 calibre projectiles, such as rubber, pepper, or marking balls. The rounds are loaded into a removable 6-shot magazine.
As usual, the pistol is powered by a standard 12 g CO2 cartridge located in the grip. To activate the cartridge, simply strike the valve with the palm of your hand, which pierces the neck of the cartridge and the pistol is ready to fire. The manufacturer states that you can fire up to 8 full-power shots per cartridge.
Construction and ergonomics
The foundation is a robust body made of durable polymer, complemented by metal internal parts. The slide is fixed and features fixed sights with fibre-optic inserts, making aiming easier in low-light conditions. On the slide you will also find a sufficiently long Picatinny rail for mounting a red dot sight. For optional installation of a laser or a flashlight, there is another short Picatinny rail under the barrel, and the only safety is located directly in the trigger blade.

NOTE: For proper magazine function we recommend applying silicone oil to the inner walls of the magazine well, or directly to the rubber projectiles. When using dry ammunition in an unlubricated magazine, there is a risk of the gun jamming.
Maintenance
Since the gun is powered by CO2 cartridges, the rubber seals may, over time, become brittle and crack due to the freezing carbon dioxide. You can prevent this by occasionally applying silicone oil 1) in spray form, where you simply spray the internal mechanism, 2) by applying a few drops of silicone oil to the neck of the inserted cartridge, or 3) by using an oil-filled cartridge (the easiest option). We also do not recommend leaving an activated cartridge in the gun longer than necessary. If you know you will not be shooting for some time, release the pressure by loosening the valve.
