Byrna CL [Compact Launcher] Kinetic Launcher Ultimate Bundle - Non Lethal Kinetic Projectile Launcher, Home & Personal Defense

I have two small dogs that I walk 4 or 5 times a day around my neighborhood. I live in a hilly area that has a lot of coyotes, which can be very aggressive during mating season. I have run into them several times at night, and yelling, waving my hands did little to deter them, and I would have to back up and cut my walk short. I carry pepper spray, but I worry about back spray and getting it on myself and/or dogs. I did some research and came across the Byrna launcher. It is basically a small paint ball gun that uses CO2 cartridges for power. What makes the Byrna stand out is most devices like this that use CO2 require you to load and puncture the CO2 cartridge to make it ready, over time the CO2 can leak and when you go to use it you make find it won't work. The Byrna on the other hand does not puncture the Co2 cartridge until you pull the trigger so don't have to worry about an empty/leaky CO2 cartridge. It is extremely well made and is very accurate. The only con is the price, it is not cheap but for me worth the cost for something (non-lethal) that I can rely on to protect myself and animals. One other thing, it is very loud when fired, some to be aware of, which can be good (scare off coyotes) or bad (scare the neighbors).

I've waited along time to buy one. I'm so thankful I was finally able to.

I have purchased 7 of the LE launchers because of their higher capacity and FPS-- all work fine and were gifted to my family. They are a quality piece of equipment and are kept on standby for home safety. The LEs are too big for women to easily travel with. I bought the CL for my daughter to carry in her purse, it is quite a bit smaller, launches a smaller projectile and has two magazines. I was going to gift a USCCA insurance policy since she is currently CC permitted but for the same price of a yearly premium I could buy this and hopefully she will trade carrying the small 9mm semi and put this in her purse. I am not against rapists and murders being made unalive but the USCCA seminar disclosed that the average cost of a legal defense against a prosecutor in a legitimate self defense situation is 250K. The Byrna takes that penalty off the table not to mention the civil suit that is sure to follow a firearm discharge which could bankrupt you and ruin your life for at least several years. Obviously I am from a regulated State but even in a stand your ground state there are serious consequences for using a firearm. Anyway, the CL is nicely made, I fitted a petite laser to its dovetail underneath and I have test fired it to ensure laser accuracy and function. You won't get two full magazines out of one co2 cartridge but it will shoot one magazine with 5 balls completely. There is no safety but the trigger is NOT easy to pull, so thats the safety - you are not accidently going to pull the trigger by mistake taking it out of your purse. The trigger is not sensitive, so practice using it by pointing it at the target and just pull as hard as you can as fast as you can. Accuracy is not important in the situation you will be using this and good thing with the trigger pull length and resistance. The laser is key- hold the red light on the subject and keep firing- after five, start running and get where you need to be. I have been hit with one pepperball and I can attest that very few attackers will remain a threat after getting hit with five of them. Don't plan to stick around and reload-it takes too long.

Works exactly how it was described. The compact launcher is small and concealable and it packs an incredible punch. I purchased the pepper Max kinetic balls as well and I feel way more secure, just knowing it’s in my truck. I would rate this 10 stars. Absolutely amazing

I am a 31 year old SAHM of 2. I ordered this because I was interested in carrying something to help me defend myself/my kids when I am out and about running errands or going places but I did not want to run the risk of carrying my home defense Glock and having my kids meet a tragic end because they somehow got to it. This is an absolutely perfect compromise. I got it yesterday and trained with it this morning. I had heard that the first trigger pull can be hard due to it being necessary to pop the canister so I wanted to make sure I practiced that. I did not find it to be as hard as I thought it would be and it was relatively easy for me to fire the first half-force round and then immediately fire a second full force round. I don’t think it will take much getting used to at all. I plan to load my magazine so that the first half force round is a regular kinetic projectile and the second full force round is one of the chemical max projectiles. I think this will be a super efficient way to ward off anyone I need to, should it ever come to that. I do wish that the ammo for this model wasn’t so expensive and cost prohibitive, but I get it. They’re the only ones that make .61 so why not get a profit from it. Overall I really do love this thing so far and I feel much better knowing I have it on me when out and about alone with my kiddos. My little sister recently moved in with us and used to regularly cc herself but now that she’s with my kids all the time she doesn’t feel comfortable doing that anymore. I think I will get her one of these for her birthday!!!

Iv had experience using the CL launcher before because my brother has one. When I received the launcher, I loaded it up and decided to shoot some kinetic rounds. After the first 2 shots, the gun wouldn’t shoot. Keep in mind this is straight out of the box. Upon further investigation, and multiple cartridges of C02, there is an internal issue. One of the “U” shaped pieces in the back of the gun is getting stuck on a plunger spring. I filed a warranty claim not even week after I got it. A day went buy and I didn’t hear anything back from Byrna so I called and talked to someone. I was in a bind cause I do field work in awful sketchy areas deep in the Appalachian mountains without cell service and wanted to have this launcher as a backup for aggressive animals (mostly pitbulls). I asked if it would be quicker to either send it back to Byrna and get a replacement or return through Amazon. The rep told me they would have to look at it and figure out the issue and see if it’s fixable and if it wasn’t, then they would send me another one. Like I said… I was in a time crunch and don’t have time to wait a week or two to get another one so I opted to try and return to Amazon. Turns out… it cannot be returned to Amazon. I still haven’t even got a reply from my warranty claim and no return label or anything. You know if I pay almost $600 for a higher end pepper ball launcher… I would expect it to be in good working condition when I receive it. At the very least I would of liked to have a rep reach out to me by now. I am very disappointed in the customer service and how they have handled my situation. I will attach pics of the part that is having problems.

Well it hurts BUT I don't think it'll stop a determined individual

Pague más de 500 dólares por El Byrna CL el cual es un producto con defecto interno ya que suena como una Maraca por dentro. como si fuera de juguete. Tambien en mi primer disparo salió volando la mira Delantera solo tengo 2 días de uso.
