Our Byrna Kinetic Projectiles do not contain any active or inert ingredients. These hard, solid plastic projectiles do not break upon impact and can discourage, deter, and delay an attacker.
ByrnaKinetic Projectiles also provide useful training without the necessity of traveling to a practice range.
A Byrna is a compact non-lethal personal self-defense device. We believe these launchers to. be the safest, most effective and most reliable non-lethal self defense weapons on the market today.
HOW DOES A BYRNA WORK?
The Byrna Launcher is not considered a firearm, however, it is not a toy! It is a highly effective less-lethal weapon. While it is legal to carry in all 50 states*, it should only be used for lawful purposes, including self-defense. Like any other weapon, be it a hammer, knife or baseball bat, the Byrna should never be brandished or used in a threatening manner, except as necessary in the defense of oneself or others.
IS A BYRNA CONSIDERED A FIREARM?
No. The Byrna SD is powered by compressed CO2 cartridges, just like a paintball or airsoft gun.
HOW BIG IS THE BYRNA? WILL IT FIT IN A HOLSTER?
The Byrna is roughly the size of a compact 9mm handgun. We sell tactical holsters that have been custom designed to comfortably hold your Byrna as well as nylon holsters designed for compact 9mm handguns. Please see the Product Spec Sheet for more info.
WHY DOESN'T THE BYRNA HAVE AN ORANGE TIP?
Byrnas not equipped with an orange tip because they are not toys. The orange tip is designed to convey that “gun” is not an actual weapon. The Byrna is a weapon, albeit a less-lethal weapon. Accordingly, we do not sell to anyone under 18.
As an expert in self-defense technologies and non-lethal weaponry, I've extensively studied and analyzed various products and tools designed for personal protection. My knowledge spans across different devices, their mechanisms, and their practical applications. Specifically, I can offer insights into the Byrna Launcher, its functionalities, and the technology behind it.
The Byrna Launcher is a compact, non-lethal self-defense device that stands out in the market for its safety features, effectiveness, and reliability. It's not classified as a firearm but rather operates with compressed CO2 cartridges, similar to paintball or airsoft guns. This technology enables the Byrna to propel kinetic projectiles—solid plastic projectiles designed not to break upon impact.
These projectiles serve multiple purposes, aiming to discourage, deter, and delay attackers. They are also utilized for training purposes, eliminating the need to visit specialized practice ranges. However, it's crucial to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines while handling the Byrna Launcher, treating it with the same respect and precautions as any other weapon, be it a knife, baseball bat, or firearm.
The size of the Byrna is comparable to a compact 9mm handgun, allowing it to fit in specially designed tactical holsters or nylon holsters created for handguns of similar size. Despite its size resemblance to a firearm, the Byrna does not feature an orange tip typically seen on toy guns. This absence is intentional, signifying that the Byrna is not a toy but a less-lethal weapon meant for self-defense purposes, and hence, it's not sold to individuals under 18 years old.
The company also extends support to military personnel, first responders, and teachers with a discount, indicating their commitment to supporting those serving in crucial roles within communities.
In summary, the Byrna Launcher operates on compressed CO2, fires solid plastic kinetic projectiles, is not classified as a firearm, emphasizes safety, and is designed for lawful self-defense purposes. It's essential to handle it responsibly, following guidelines to ensure both user and bystander safety.

The Byrna Gun is a non-lethal self-defense weapon that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a compact and lightweight device that can be easily carried in a purse or backpack. The Byrna Gun uses compressed air to launch projectiles that can incapacitate an attacker without causing permanent harm.
Q: Are Kinetic projectiles reusable? A: Yes, Byrna Kinetic Projectiles provide useful training without the necessity of traveling to a practice range and they are reusable which makes practicing with your Byrna very cost effective.
Even with pepper spray or a Stun Gun, you are range-limited to 10 to 15 feet. By then, the situation has escalated out of control. The Byrna SD and EP have a 60' effective range and the Byrna LE has an 80' effective range.
Byrna Kinetic Projectiles are a hard, solid (reusable) plastic projectiles that can be used for self-defense and practice. Our Kinetic Projectiles delivers excruciating physical pain. The force delivered is capable of breaking side auto glass from 30 feet away.
American conservative political commentator, radio host, entrepreneur, and television producer Glenn Beck recently had the eye-opening opportunity to learn about Byrna's less-lethal stopping power firsthand.
The Byrna is legal in all 50 states, however, certain states place restrictions on the “pepper” and “tear gas” ammo. In addition, certain municipalities place restrictions on CO2 powered weapons such as the Byrna.
The Byrna LE, Byrna's most powerful handheld launcher! This kit contains no chemical projectiles and is legal in all states in the US. The Byrna LE features a completely redesigned trigger interface and valve assembly to fire .68 caliber rounds at speed of up to 330 feet per second.
ARE BYRNA LAUNCHERS CONSIDERED TO BE FIREARMS? No. Byrna Less-Lethal Self-Defense Pistols and Rifles are powered by compressed CO2 cartridges and fall under the same classification as a paintball or airsoft gun.
Byrna CO2 cartridges have a virtually indefinite shelf life prior to being pierced. With Byrna's patented 1st shot pull-pierce technology, the cannister is not pierced until the trigger is pulled so you can always keep an un-punctured CO2 cannister in your Byrna to maximize its utility for self-defense.
It is recommended to keep an unpunctured cylinder in your launcher at all times for self-defense purposes. Punctured cylinders within your Byrna Launcher will leak over time.
How loud is the Byrna 12-gauge less lethal ammunition blast registration? < 117 decibels… 16 times quieter then a traditional shotgun blast and a similar report to our . 68 caliber CO2 launchers.
The data demonstrates that severe injuries are more likely when KIPs are fired at close range or when multi-projectile KIPs are used. From close range, some types of KIPs have the same ability to penetrate the skin as conventional live ammunition, and can be just as lethal.
DO BYRNA LAUNCHERS ACTUALLY WORK? Yes! Byrna Launchers have been vetted by Government Agencies, Police Forces and Private Security Agencies worldwide. Furthermore, we have sold over 300,000 units to-date and have received thousands of customer testimonials about how Byrna products have made a difference in their lives.
Powered by compressed air (CO2), the Byrna SD shoots .68 caliber round kinetic and/or chemical irritant projectiles that can disable a threat from up to 50-feet away. It is an incredibly powerful and non-lethal self-defense weapon.
