What Is the DDupleks Kaviar Slug?

What Is Frangible Ammo?

Frangible ammo is designed to disintegrate into smaller particles when striking hard surfaces. Unlike traditional slugs that may ricochet or over-penetrate, frangible projectiles are engineered to:

• Break apart on impact

• Reduce splashback risk

• Enhance safety in certain controlled environments

Frangible shotgun slugs are less common than pistol or rifle frangible rounds, making the DDupleks Kaviar a unique option in the 12 gauge category.
