The Zarc X5 Air Pistol is a modern, air-powered launcher designed to give users a dependable, controllable less-lethal option in a compact pistol platform. Built by Zarc International, Inc., the X5 reflects decades of experience in defensive products, training tools, and real-world deployment needs.
Whether used for professional training, controlled security applications, or personal defense where legal and appropriate, the Zarc X5 focuses on one thing above all else: confidence through consistency.
Designed for Real-World Use
The Zarc X5 was engineered with ergonomics and balance at the forefront. Its compact frame and intuitive grip geometry allow for natural handling, quick target acquisition, and controlled follow-up shots. Every element of the platform is designed to reduce hesitation and increase user confidence under stress.
The air-powered operating system delivers repeatable performance without the recoil or complexity associated with traditional firearms, making the X5 approachable for new users while still meeting the expectations of experienced professionals.
The Zarc X5 is purpose-designed to work seamlessly with VEXOR® projectiles, ensuring reliable feeding, consistent velocity, and predictable impact performance as a complete less-lethal system.
A True Training and Defense Platform
One of the defining strengths of the Zarc X5 is its versatility. The platform supports a broad range of less-lethal projectile options, allowing users to train realistically and deploy responsibly.
• Defensive capability – Compatible with irritant-based projectiles (where legal and authorized).
• Training ready – Inert and marking rounds for safe repetition and scenario-based drills.
• Consistent handling – Train with the same platform used for duty or defense.
Engineered with Safety in Mind
Less-lethal tools demand responsible design and use. The Zarc X5 incorporates clear operational feedback and thoughtful control placement to support safe handling. When paired with proper training and adherence to local laws and agency policies, the X5 becomes a controlled, disciplined tool.
