Our most powerful proprietary pepper and tear gas blend: OC, CS all in one shot, with quick-acting incapacitating effects, higher dispersion, and higher concentration of chemical irritants than any other round found on the market today, our Byrna Max projectiles are designed for maximum stopping power.
Physical Effects:
- Burning in throat
- Wheezing
- Gasping
- Dry cough
- Shortness of breath
- Gagging
- Inability to breathe
- Nausea
- Burning of the eyes
- Burning of the lungs
- Chest tightness
- Excessive salivation
Physical symptoms of chemical irritants often result in disorientation and agitation, which can lead to a state of fear, anxiety and panic in would-be attackers. Upon impact the projectiles burst, creating a cloud of chemical irritant that rapidly disperses into the air to quickly incapacitate an attacker. Within seconds, the saturation area extends in all directions around the point of impact.


Byrna CL Compact vs. Byrna HD: What's the Difference?
Size & Concealability
Byrna CL: Designed for discreet carry, the CL measures
approximately 6.81 inches in length, 5.1 inches in height, and 1.18
inches in width, making it about 38% smaller than the Byrna SD model. It
weighs around 0.76 lbs, making it suitable for concealed carry in
various situations.
Byrna HD: The HD is larger
and resembles the size of a compact 9mm handgun. While still portable,
its size may be less ideal for concealed carry compared to the CL
Caliber & Ammunition
Byrna CL: Fires proprietary .61 caliber projectiles,
engineered to deliver the same energy density as the .68 caliber rounds
used in other Byrna models. This design maintains stopping power while
allowing for a more compact launcher.
Byrna HD:
Utilizes .68 caliber projectiles, including kinetic and chemical
irritant options. These rounds are designed to incapacitate threats
effectively

CO₂ System & Firing Mechanism
Byrna CL: Employs an 8-gram CO₂ cartridge with
Pull-Pierce Technology, which punctures the CO₂ cartridge upon the first
trigger pull, ensuring readiness without gas leakage during storage.Byrna HD: Also uses an 8-gram CO₂ cartridge. The cartridge remains unpunctured until the first trigger pull, similar to the CL's system.
