The most versatile magazine-fed less-lethal launcher available today. The Byrna TCR (Tactical Compact Rifle) combines military-inspired design with proven non-lethal technology, delivering a powerful home defense solution that's easy to customize and upgrade.
Product Type: Non-lethal CO2 launcher | Caliber: .68 caliber | Power Source: CO2 compressed gas | Legal Status: Legal in all 50 states including California
The TCR delivers tactical versatility with less-lethal effectiveness. With its compact rifle design, dual magazine system, pull-pierce technology, and four Picatinny rails for accessories, you get a professional-grade platform that's ready for home defense and recreational shooting.
Unlike traditional launchers that require pre-piercing CO2 cartridges, the TCR features innovative pull-pierce technology. Simply load your CO2 cartridges, and when you're ready to defend, pull the charging handle to pierce the cartridges and activate the launcher. This means your TCR can be stored safely with CO2 installed and activated instantly when needed - always ready to defend your home.
Note: CO2 cartridges and projectiles sold separately.
The TCR features four standard Picatinny rails (top, bottom, and both sides) allowing you to mount tactical accessories including red dot sights, scopes, flashlights, lasers, foregrips, and more. Build your perfect less-lethal platform.
No permits, licenses, or background checks required in most jurisdictions. The Byrna TCR is legal in all 50 states and compliant with California regulations. Always check your local laws regarding less-lethal devices.
