Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the CL and CL-XL?
The CL-XL features an integrated Boost Adapter that accepts 12g CO2 cylinders (instead of 8g), increasing velocity to 410 FPS and shot capacity to 17 rounds when using the 7-round magazine in a 7+1 configuration. The standard CL uses 8g CO2 and has lower velocity and capacity.
Can I use 8g CO2 cartridges in the CL-XL?
No, the CL-XL is designed exclusively for 12g CO2 cylinders and will not work with 8g CO2. The integrated Boost Adapter requires the larger 12g cartridges for proper operation.
How many shots can I get from one 12g CO2 cylinder?
You can expect approximately 15-20 effective shots per 12g CO2 cylinder, depending on temperature conditions and firing rate. Performance is optimal in temperatures above 60°F.
What projectiles are compatible with the CL-XL?
The CL-XL accepts all standard .61 caliber Byrna projectiles including Kinetic (solid), Pepper, Eco-Kinetic, and Max projectiles. This kit includes 15 Kinetic projectiles to get you started.
Is the CL-XL legal to own?
The Byrna CL-XL is legal to purchase and own in most jurisdictions without a permit or background check, as it is classified as a less-lethal launcher, not a firearm. However, laws vary by state and locality, so please check your local regulations before purchasing.
What is the effective range of the CL-XL?
The CL-XL has an effective range of 60+ feet with optimal accuracy at 20-40 feet. The increased 410 FPS velocity provides better accuracy and stopping power at distance compared to standard models.
Does the CL-XL require any special maintenance?
Basic maintenance includes cleaning the barrel periodically, checking O-rings for wear, and storing with a drop of silicone oil on the valve after extended use. Full maintenance instructions are included with your launcher.
