1. Carry Your Launcher: Your launcher does no good if you leave it at home in the box. Byrna has several options to carry a launcher so that you never have to leave it behind. Whether your preference is inside the waistband holsters, outside the waistband holsters, or sling bags (which is my favorite), we are sure to have a solution that can fit your lifestyle. Byrna is all about providing you with options.
2. Choose Your Projectiles: The same is true with our projectile selection. Our kinetic rounds are great for direct impact and even strong enough to break glass. Our two chemical rounds, Burna Max and Burna Pepper, give you the option to utilize direct or indirect fire to incapacitate your attacker. This means you get to choose the force option that best suits the scenarios you think you are most likely to encounter.
3. Load Your Magazines: Once you’ve decided which rounds you want to use, get your magazines loaded and then charge your launcher with the appropriate CO2 cartridge. Byrna’s Pull-Pierce technology allows you to load a CO2 cartridge into your launcher that will remain unpierced and in a ready state indefinitely. All you have to do is point the launcher at your target and pull the trigger. The launcher simultaneously pierces the cartridge and fires your first round, so there is no reason not to make sure your launcher is always ready to go.
4. Educate Yourself: Here at Byrna, we are all about educating our community on how less-lethal self-defense options can be a part of your everyday life. We have hundreds of videos on our social media channels, not only about how we think you can best utilize your Byrna products, but also from our customers about how they have used their Byrnas to defend themselves and their families. Take some time and dive into our library to learn how Byrna can best fit into your lifestyle.
5. Train Regularly: I’m sure you’ve heard me say that a tool is only as good as your ability to proficiently deploy it, and the same is true here. The great part about Byrna launchers is that you can train anytime and anywhere. From using our Pro Training or Eco rounds in your backyard to shooting reusable kinetic rounds into our target tents in your living room, there has never been a self-defense tool that has been easier to realistically train with.
