Included mid-video are two clips: the first one shows Byrna’s head of marketing being shot with the irritant rounds, while the second shows the founder being shot with the solid projectiles. If you just came here to see what happens when you’re shot with one of the self-defense rounds, I won’t disappoint. The magazines hold 5 rounds, and besides being round at the top, function similar to a magazine that you would use in a handgun. Instead, replace the punctured cartridge with a new one so that it’s ready to go when needed.

Once a cartridge is punctured, it should not remain in the Byrna between uses. When a new co2 cartridge is loaded, it is not punctured until the trigger is pulled for the first time. This makes for simple loading and unloading of the co2 cartridges, as all tools required are with you. Below the barrel is the location which houses the cartridge, and is unscrewed by using the allen key that’s attached to the base of each magazine. The way a co2 cartridge is loaded into the Byrna pretty simple. This will fire the projectiles at 220-300 feet per second, unlike a bullet traveling at much higher speeds. I can say that the grip is very comfortable, but remember that you don’t need to worry about recoil like you would with a handgun. The Byrna is made from a glass-filled nylon, and the grip is a Rubber Overmold Grip. Other available colors for the Byrna are Orange, Black, Desert Tan, Grey, Green, Pink and Digital Camouflage. What we’re reviewing today is the Byrna HD Desert Sand Kit, which comes with the Byrna device, co2 cartridges, two types of training rounds, as well as a tube of self-defense rounds.

Byrna Black rounds contain pepper spray (OC), tear gas (CS), and PAVA. Inhalation of the powder and eye exposure will cause respiratory coughing and eye irritation, respectively. Upon impact, the rounds implode and create a cloud of powdered irritants. It’s an interesting concept that shoots 68 caliber projectiles filled with something you don’t want to personally make contact with a concoction of irritants.īyrna HD Self-Defense Rounds come in two variants: (1) Byrna Black and (2) Jingle Balls. The Byrna HD is a non-lethal self-defense device, which the company calls a ‘personal security device’.
