Byrna Max Projectile Test – Real Talk Review

Date: September 3, 2025
Featuring: YouTubers D.K. Spencer & Ballistic Joel


What Went Down

The Scenario: D.K. Spencer and Ballistic Joel put the Byrna CL launcher to the test with the .61 and .68 Cal Max projectiles—intense, no-holds-barred non-lethal stopping power. 

The Effects:

  • Vision crash: A near-miss in the eyes and it’s lights out—keeping them open even for a second was nearly impossible.

  • Breathing chaos: The chemical cloud triggered immediate coughing, choking, and serious respiratory struggle.

  • Worse with water: Rinsing the eyes only spread the burn—total misfire on relief tactics. 

Pro Tip from Joel: He braced by holding his breath and shutting tight. Without that prep, the incapacitation hits much faster in real scenarios.

Collateral Impact: The irritant didn’t stay contained—3 out of 4 people including bystanders were visibly affected. That speaks volumes.


Final Thoughts

The verdict is clear: these Byrna Max rounds are brutally effective. They target vision, breathing, and movement—stalling anyone and buying critical seconds to flee or take control.
