The Byrna Short Barrel LE Launcher – Basic Box brings the upgraded performance of the Byrna LE platform into a shorter, more compact frame designed for easier carry and everyday non-lethal personal defense. Chambered for .68 caliber projectiles, the Short Barrel LE delivers velocities up to 294 FPS with an effective range of up to 60 feet.
The Short Barrel LE combines Byrna's upgraded trigger and valve system with a compact design, 8-gram CO₂ operation, an ambidextrous safety, white-dot sights, and an accessory rail. Byrna's Pull-Pierce Technology allows a CO₂ cylinder to remain unpunctured until the launcher is activated, making it ready for long-term storage without leaving a pierced CO₂ cylinder under pressure.
The updated top slide is also compatible with the Byrna Red Dot Pro Sight, giving owners an additional optic option for their setup.
Note: CO₂ cylinders and projectiles are sold separately. This Basic Box does not include chemical projectiles.
*Velocity may vary depending on projectile type, temperature, and operating conditions.
**Shot count may vary depending on temperature, firing rate, projectile type, and other operating conditions.

"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."
