When it comes to real-world self-defense, stopping power isn’t just about impact. It’s about incapacitation. In this field test, DK Spencer and Ballistic Joel put the Byrna CL loaded with Byrna Max chemical irritant projectiles to the ultimate test.

Within seconds, the effects are undeniable:
Severe eye irritation making it impossible to keep eyes open
Respiratory distress causing uncontrollable coughing and heaving
Lingering burning sensation even after rinsing
Despite knowing what was coming and trying to brace for impact, the chemical cloud overwhelmed not just the test subject but everyone nearby. In a real defensive scenario—where an attacker isn’t prepared—the effects would hit even faster and harder, giving you the critical moments needed to escape and stay safe.
The results speak for themselves: Byrna Max ammo is highly effective less-lethal defense, designed to stop threats without taking a life.
