Byrna basics

Protection you
won't hesitate
to use.

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?

Self-defense,
without the hardest part.

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.

Not a firearm

It's not a gun

Less-lethal

Stops, doesn't end

Designed to help stop a threat while giving you another option besides deadly force.

How it protects you

Built for the moment
you hope never comes.

01

Distance is safety

Byrna launcher models can provide an effective range of up to 60 feet, helping you create space before a threat gets close.

02

If you can point, you can use it

If it's loaded, it's ready. No buttons to press, no steps to remember — your first trigger pull does everything.

03

Nothing you can't take back

A less-lethal option can help you defend yourself without making an irreversible choice. Less-lethal does not mean harmless.
