This is the Byrna LE Gen 2 — the current, latest generation of Byrna's most powerful handheld launcher. Completely redesigned from the ground up with a new trigger interface, valve assembly, upgraded white fiber sights, and red dot compatibility. This kit contains no chemical projectiles and is legal in all states in the US.
The Byrna LE Gen 2 fires .68 caliber rounds at speeds of up to 330 feet per second. The new trigger design allows for a much smoother and lighter trigger pull, providing a better experience for the shooter.
*This kit does not come with chemical projectiles and includes 15 Kinetic Rounds.
*Average first 10 shots*

The LE Gen 2 features patented pull-pierce technology that stores CO2 in the launcher unpunctured until the first trigger pull. On the first trigger pull, the CO2 is punctured and a projectile is launched simultaneously. This means your LE Gen 2 can be stored safely with CO2 installed and activated instantly when needed.
The LE Gen 2 is super-charged with max projectile speeds of 330 feet per second - making it Byrna's most powerful handheld launcher. The completely redesigned trigger interface and valve assembly deliver superior velocity and stopping power.
The LE Gen 2 features high-contrast bright white fiber sights which allow for quicker target acquisition in high stress situations. The LE Gen 2 is also red dot sight compatible, accepting standard red dot optics via the Picatinny rail for enhanced accuracy.
The LE Gen 2 features a streamlined muzzle appearance for improved aesthetics and handling while maintaining the same powerful performance you expect from Byrna's flagship launcher.
The LE Gen 2 uses .68 caliber projectiles powered by 12-gram CO2 cylinders - delivering superior performance compared to 8g systems. This combination provides maximum velocity, energy density, and shot capacity.
The Byrna LE Gen 2 is not classified as a firearm therefore does not require a permit or background check to own. Must be 18 or older to purchase. Legal in all 50 states and compliant with California regulations. Always check your local laws regarding less-lethal devices.

"I Am a Gun Owner and Self Trained on Handguns & Rifle’s. But i wanted to write this review because i feel i need to emphasize how essential Byrna is in everyday life. Most people who buy from Byrna likely know the serious dangers of a Live Firearm and the implicating factors it can have when a Live round passes through a House or Neighboring Fence at High Velocity the Type of Bullet doesn’t always necessarily matter in these instances because to exemplify this if you live in a densely filled Neighborhood where there is lots of activity and you happen to have an Intruder that tries to use forcible entry to get into you’re house in the dead of night, You need to account for how you are eliminating the threat, And where the threat is one of the many ways to do that is to use a Byrna over a 9mm Handgun or . 45 ACP simply because no matter what you’re shot placement is that round can still cleanly pass through the individual and the fragments can still leave inflicting damage in other Neighboring areas that have nothing to do with this conflict you are trying to resolve! Any Gun Owner knows very well Bullet Holes and fragments will shred wall’s and window frames very quickly even when shot in rapid succession am I saying this to say that People shouldn’t own Guns in General? No I am simply saying that if you have common sense You would buy from Byrna because you want to incapacitate the threat using Projectiles whether it’s Tear Gas or Pepper Rounds. A loved one living next to you could get hit by any caliber of a bullet regardless of the stopping power of it. I wish other states in America would not restrict the usage of Byrna, Because I’ll say again the CEO of the Company made one of the most significant and life saving changes in inventing this product and I Thank God that he did, Without it people would not have the compact & reliable efficiency to protect their loved ones from harm."
"Pleasure to deal with your company"
"Like the whole concept, enjoy target shooting and knowing that the gun provides a certain amount of protection should it be Needed!"
"Simple and easy to use. easy to buy. Ready and available."
