Thank you for the comparison... In my experience, if you can't deter the person with your first magazine 5 or 7, it doesn't matter if you have the boost or not. I keep my day to day magazine loaded with 2 Kinetic rounds and then 3 Pepperball Max rounds. If they refuse to back off after the Kinetic rounds, they deserve the Chemical rounds.

@@tuckerdelay9656 I use the 5 round clip as the 7 round seems to be hit or miss with the chemical rounds cracking/breaking in the clip. Some people don't seem to have this issue and others do, but with the 5 round clip it doesn't seem to be an issue with anyone. I know Byrna changed the springs in the 7 round to fix this issue, but it's still being reported even with the new clips. How are you liking your launcher and what kind did you get?

Hi I'm from Denver Colorado 👍 and I like your post a lot 👍👍👍👍👍 very informative and I like my Byrna SD alot

awesome info!

i just got a byrna because my umarex is too big to carry around. so is the byrna but at least its smaller. since i have a lot of umarex stuff at home i bulk purchased 12g crossman cartridges hence ordered one of these adapters to use my existing supply... then i read that byrna says DO NOT USE CROSSMAN 12G CARTRIDGES. its actually in caps in red on their website. great.

I recommend just getting the le byrna because it comes with the adapter already. For those who don't know the byrna by default will only use the 8gram cartridges that byrna manufactures. But if you get the attachment you can use basically any 12 gram cartridge

@malefanematsie3890 yes precisely. The one downfall is that byrna does recommend that you use their specific cartridge because and this just my own assumption that the seal is slightly thinner making it more reliably fire, I used cross man cartridges and I can get rounds off rounds but occasionally you may have to pull the trigger twice I'm not sure why that is honestly

FSC first strike is very powerful with Grimburg 5” barrel and projectiles and is very tunable however the handle is very long and thick and you need to twist the lever on the bottom. I prefer carrying the Byrna LE with the Byrna Max chemical rounds, just a personal choice!

I think the co2 cartridge plays a huge role here. Because we were hitting solid 190ftps first pull 310-290ftps on second shot till empty on 10g

I know it's an older video. I live in SC next to the Ocean. We have a place called West Marina. They sell boat air horn 10g CO2 cartridges... Omg the balls send over 450fps first few shots with those. The barrel smokes from the deep freeze. I believe they fill these differently then normal co2 cartridges. Was fun to try once anyhow for science. No longer less lethal at that point though 😂

Using a 8 gram charge over a12 gram I believe would but convenience or availability of those 12 gram chargers are everywhere

I was within minutes of buying the Byrna SD from Amazon 2 days ago, but I backed out at the last minute. Everything seems great with it, but my biggest complaint with it, and always has been, is the FPS. I realize it's less lethal, but I always thought that the guys at Byrna could bring those FPS up a bit. I'd be much more comfortable if the FPS average was somewhere around 330FPS consistently. In your opinion, how do you feel about the FPS on your Byrna, or Byrnas in general?

I would really like a company to come out with a compact with the same piercing mechanism with 30 joules and 5 or 6 shot magazine. I do carry the Byrna with a combo of kinetic and OC rounds. It is compact and reliable but in my opinion under powered. The new Byrna LE is on order and hopefully have the promised power of 16 joules. For now Byrna is the only compact self piercing on the market so it is what I carry. Unfortunately until it is used for self defense you won’t know how effective it is!

Im thinkin if u already have the older version of brynas like ep, sd and add on boost, you wont get more fps but more shots without dropping in fps as quick, and if u buy the le gun with boost, they did a different valve or something that boost the first 3 shots in 400s before it drops to a consistent upper 200s before gas is out!

@airgunnerreviews7888

You are correct they definitely changed the valve on the LE so the first few shots are more effective!

I think I remember reading that the purpose of the adapter is to be able to use the more readily available 12 oz. co2 cartridges and to have more shots per cartridge. Not more muzzle velocity or range. You should do a comparison of 8oz vs. 12oz cartridges. Just saying.

The air was still released and all other shots were consistent.

To slow, 600 fps. should be a starting point

A very long video for a simple idea... maybe you should make it shorter, cutting the useless moments?
