What Is a Non-Lethal Gun?
A non-lethal gun is a less-lethal personal protection platform designed to provide an alternative to conventional firearms. Byrna launchers use compressed CO2 and compatible projectiles rather than conventional firearm ammunition.
Byrna guns are available in several platform types, including compact pistol-style launchers and larger configurations. Because those models differ in size, capacity, caliber, operating characteristics, and accessory compatibility, customers should compare specifications before choosing one.
