Byrna Compact Launcher: Product Breakdown

After years of research and customer-driven development, Byrna has launched the all-new Byrna CL (Compact Launcher), a next-generation less-lethal self-defense tool designed for true concealability. At 38% smaller than the Byrna SD and 44% smaller than the LE, the Byrna CL still delivers serious power—firing a new .61 caliber projectile at 400 feet per second, matching the LE's performance. It uses the same 8g CO2 cartridge and patented pull-pierce technology as previous models, allowing it to stay ready without losing pressure. With features like upgraded fiber optic sights, a red dot-ready slide, a loaded chamber indicator, and a Picatinny rail, the Byrna CL packs advanced capabilities into a form factor smaller than most smartphones. It’s built to go where other launchers can’t—giving you the ability to carry powerful protection discreetly, anytime and anywhere.
