The Byrna launchers shoot a .68 calibers that come in various forms, from training rounds to OC and tear gas blends. In the event that self defense is required, the Byrna SD proves itself a viable tool. Below is an example of how the Byrna SD is a great non-lethal option.

On May 12th, a man led the Galveston police department on a chase after being involved in two hit and run accidents. The suspect stopped his vehicle in the middle of the roadway between several apartment complexes. As he stopped the vehicle, officers then began a “high risk stop” where several patrol cars lined up behind the suspect’s vehicle and gave commands to the suspect. The commands as seen in the video were ignored and the suspect refused to exit the vehicle.
