It's not a gun
Byrna launchers are less-lethal self-defense devices designed to offer an alternative to a traditional firearm.
Byrna basics
Byrna gives responsible owners a less-lethal way to create distance and respond to a threat—without making an irreversible choice.
What is a Byrna?
Byrna launchers are less-lethal personal-security devices designed to help responsible owners protect themselves and the people they love.
They offer a way to respond from a distance without choosing deadly force. Ownership, carry, and use rules vary, so always check the laws where you live and travel.
Byrna launchers are less-lethal self-defense devices designed to offer an alternative to a traditional firearm.
Legal in all fifty states, with no federal firearms permit or background check required to purchase. State and local restrictions may apply.
Designed to help stop a threat while giving you another option besides deadly force.
How it protects you
Byrna launcher models can provide an effective range of up to 60 feet, helping you create space before a threat gets close.
If it's loaded, it's ready. No buttons to press, no steps to remember — your first trigger pull does everything.
A less-lethal option can help you defend yourself without making an irreversible choice. Less-lethal does not mean harmless.
