Byrna CL Tested by Airgun Alley – Compact, Powerful, and Ready When You Are
YouTube reviewer Airgun Alley recently put the Byrna Compact Launcher (CL) through a full round of testing—and the results were impressive. As the smallest launcher Byrna has ever produced, the CL still packs serious power for less-lethal self-defense, making it a standout option for everyday carry.
Real-World Testing: Byrna CL vs. Tough Targets
Airgun Alley pushed the Byrna CL to the limit with several practical tests:
-
Crushed through a hard-shelled coconut
-
Penetrated deep into a 10-lb clay block
-
Dented a ¼″ thick plywood sheet—without over-penetrating
These demonstrations prove the CL delivers reliable stopping power in critical moments, all without lethal consequences.
