Not used yet so hard
"Not used yet so hard to give an accurate rating. however I have deducted one star for the short shelf life (about 18 monhts) and another for the high cost."
The Byrna Pepper projectile is one of the most powerful non-lethal 0.68 caliber rounds available, loaded with a proprietary blend of OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) + PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide) — two of the most effective chemical irritants used in law enforcement and personal defense applications.
Upon impact, the projectile bursts and releases a concentrated cloud of OC + PAVA irritants that rapidly incapacitate a threat. The dual-agent formula delivers faster onset and greater intensity than single-agent pepper rounds, giving you a decisive non-lethal advantage at a safe distance.
The OC + PAVA blend triggers an immediate and intense physiological response:
These effects rapidly neutralize a threat without causing permanent injury, giving you time to escape and seek help.
OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) is derived from hot peppers and causes immediate burning and inflammation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. PAVA is a synthetic capsaicinoid that is more potent by weight than natural OC and penetrates mucous membranes faster. Together, the OC + PAVA blend delivers a faster onset and more intense response than either agent alone — making Byrna Pepper rounds significantly more effective than standard pepper projectiles.
Byrna Pepper projectiles are 0.68 caliber and compatible with all Byrna 0.68 caliber launchers, including the Byrna SD, EP, LE, HD, and TCR. Always verify launcher compatibility before use.

"Quite splendid, really. The Byrna Pepper 0. 68 Caliber Projectiles, what I fondly call these spicy meatballs, arrived promptly and in impeccable condition. An elegant solution for personal security, delivering just the right amount of persuasive seasoning when the situation calls for it. Also remarkably effective for discouraging juvenile coyotes who seem to lack proper manners. Five stars - refined, reliable, and reassuringly robust."
