Byrna® launchers represent the pinnacle of innovation in non-lethal self-defense technology. Trusted by government agencies, law enforcement, and private security professionals worldwide, these compact yet powerful devices have transformed personal security for over 300,000 customers. Designed for effectiveness and reliability, Byrna® products empower individuals to protect themselves and their loved ones without the need for permits or background checks.
Advanced Non-Lethal Defense
Byrna® launchers, available as pistols or rifles, are powered by compressed CO2 and fire .68 caliber projectiles. These include kinetic rounds for training and chemical irritant rounds capable of disabling threats from up to 60 feet away. The irritant rounds disperse a potent cloud of pepper or tear gas powder on impact, neutralizing attackers for up to 30 minutes. Byrna® launchers offer the advantage of distance, enabling users to maintain safety without engaging in close combat.
Patented “1st Shot Pull-Pierce” Technology
Unlike conventional CO2-powered devices, Byrna® launchers feature patented pull-pierce technology. This innovation keeps the CO2 cylinder unpunctured until the trigger is pulled, ensuring the launcher remains ready to fire even after weeks, months, or years of inactivity. In critical moments, this eliminates the need for preparation, allowing users to respond instantly.
Compact and Concealable Design
Engineered for portability, Byrna® pistols are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether in a glove box, purse, or jacket pocket, these compact devices are always within reach. Custom holsters and carry bags further enhance ease of transport, ensuring your Byrna® is always ready when needed.
Unparalleled Build Quality
Byrna® launchers are crafted from premium materials, including glass-reinforced polymers, military-grade aluminum, and stainless steel. With over 100 precision-engineered parts, these devices combine durability and performance, mirroring the quality of leading firearm brands.
Versatility and Multi-Shot Capability
Each Byrna® handheld launcher features a magazine capacity of up to 7 rounds and the ability to fire multiple magazines from a single CO2 cylinder. This ensures users can confront multiple threats or deploy multiple shots without reloading, a critical advantage over traditional self-defense tools like stun guns or pepper spray.
