    As somebody who is a moderate support of Byrna, I have their Mission 4, TCR, and both handguns. I have been hit with the pepper balls, the eco-kinetics and the max kinetics. I’ve also been shot once before with a 9 mm round. If somebody were to pull this out on me, and I had no kind of understanding the type of projectile launcher, it was or even gun, I would think these are actual rounds that are hitting me. They burn, they hurt, they make me want to get out of there, and that’s what less lethal is. It’s to disorientate, not to do anything else but that. A little on the pricey side but overall, a great product.

    I see a lot confusion in the comments about the term "less lethal." Keep in mind historically this term came into use after people died from so called "non-lethal" weapons. This was an admission that it could still be lethal in certain circumstances, but was intended as to be less likely to cause death and thus lower in the force continuum.

    In my Self defence class at university, our lecturer, local court expert on ballistics and cold weapons, was once telling a unusual cases that he worked on. One of them was administrator of a pond, that bought a gas gun, loaded with the tear gas pellets. One day he caught two teen-agers fishing without permit. They started running, he followed. When they weren't stopping, he started shooting, all while still chasing them. Only problem was that the wind was blowing towards him and he inhaled everything contained in those 15 or so gas pellets, getting knocked out cold. The kids who he chased after noticed and called an ambulance, week after that, the mayor gave them the city award for saving the dude from suffocating. 😅

    Scott, I'd like to see you revisit these less lethal guns in the winter just to see the effectiveness of the CO2 cartridges when they've been exposed to the cold. I used to do oil furnace work, and one of my tools was a device that used CO2 cartridges to clear frozen oil lines. I had to warm the cartridges up in my pockets before I could use them. I imagine if you had one of these stored in a vehicle and you needed it the reduced pressure in the cartridge from the cold temperature could be problematic.

    I'm rather late to this video but I figure I would give my honest opinion about the Byrna SD. I own both a Byrna SD and a Glock 23 for home defense. And I haver to say, I LOVE my Byrna. I have it as my primary "walking the dog" or quick "late night snack run" option. It's powerful, deterring, and compact enough to conceal here in Indiana most months. I do however, recommend that this be used as an alternative only for personal self defense in areas where a gun my not be acceptable or for the most part viewed as unacceptable. For home defense I truly believe lethal force is not only warranted, but also at times necessary. So overall the Byrna is an excellent option for self defense, just understand its limitations and IMO should not be used for home defense.

    Scott, you don't need to change CO2 cartidges every time you shoot. Unlike PCP guns, CO2 guns actually have liquified gas inside, meaning the pressure is always the same (co2 evap. pressure) as long as there's liquid CO2 left in the cartidge. Only the very last shots (when there's only co2 gas left) have some drop in power

    Great stuff! Umarex, maker of the revolver, now offers two higher capacity "shotgun" versions of these "launchers" that will fire approximately 16 of the pepper ball rounds. They also have a .68 cal double barrel shotgun that has been available for awhile now. People are offering much more devastating rounds than the "Devastator" rounds you used so effectively in this video that would definitely do even far more physical damage. "Airgun Alley Miami" has done numerous videos demonstrating numerous airgun pistols and ammos, including Umarex and the new Byrna LE, that is much more powerful than the Byrna tested in this video and now holds 2 more rounds for a total of 7. Personally, if the situation allows, I will repel with a mixed load of pepper and hard riot balls; otherwise, a firearm is obviously the right choice if it's you and/or your loved ones and/or innocent bystanders versus wannabe murderer(s).

The OP mentioned he was working with some sort of agency, which would be sued for hospital bills no matter why the person was shot. Also I'm sure Byrna doesn't want to encourage shots that would possibly cause lasting damage either. Plus, you don't need to. Chest is fine for the powder balls.

    Ever had a paintball bounce off you instead of break? It'll usually leave a hickey-looking bruise. I think the big plastic pellets would be similar, though probably a bit worse. Probably wouldn't stop someone who actually wanted to hurt you. The steel ones seem more effective, but also could be classified as deadly force in many jurisdictions. Less-likely-to-be-lethal defense is very tricky.

It's a myth that ballistic gel is equivalent to flesh, especially the 10% stuff used by the FBI and most commonly sold. 40% gel might be pretty close to the density of muscle tissue, but unless you cover it with leather or something, it's not going to be the same as hitting a person.

    The thing with the Byrna is the CO2 cartridge isn't punctured until you take the first shot, so you don't have to do that extra step. With the other gun if you heard a bump in the night, you'd waste that CO2 cartridge because you'd have to puncture it before you checked out the noise so you could shoot quickly if needed. Neither gun will hold pressure for very long once the CO2 cartridge is open.

Also something note worthy there are way, way more then 3 types of ammo for the HDR 50 including pepperballs, steel balls, glass ball and even slugmakers so can make your own ammo. Also availible are power upgrade mods for the HDR 50 so you can upgrade the power up to 20+ joule, however 20+ joule isnt always legal in every country. I admit, the Byrna looks cooler... But when you go for price, power and versatility the winner is HDR 50.

    i kind of feel like these weapons fall into two scenarios 1) ideal for someone with small children who want to mitigate the risk of injury to their kids if the kids happen to get their hands on them (my neighbor asked me about a similar product recently for that very reason) and 2) someone who is either new to firearms or is considering getting a concealed carry permit and is trying to determine if they are comfortable with that. Being a less lethal weapon, i can see where its use may cause fewer legal hurdles to overcome if it is used in anger, however, most engagements happen at between 7 and 15 feet and i feel like using the max rounds that close could compromise the shooter as well. there is also the consideration that if the assailant is high on certain drugs, fully lethal rounds wont necessarily stop them without multiple hits and less lethal rounds may have no effect in deterring the target.

You can put different valves in them to change the power of the gun, as well as longer barrels. Parts are fairly easy to come by, or you can get pre-built kits. Also there's a variety of second party ammunition, one Scott didn't have are these rubber balls with steel powder mixed into them. There's also pepper filled balls but at .50 caliber I think they're just too small to be effective, not to mention being insanely expensive.

    Never bought the guns, but the 68cal balls are great for close target work with a 1763 French musket or a Brown Bess with some cartridge paper as patch. They also fit in muzzle loading 69cal pistols. The PVC melts only a bit, and since the black powder cartridge paper makes a sabot (insulative shoe) they come out intact and lodge in the target...doubt the pepper rounds would escape the muzzle without becoming powder. However for the pepper rounds....bear spray handy or wasp spray could just as effectively drive away an assailant.

    That reminds me of something. In Russia, since the 1990s, the use of conventional firearms for self-defense (pistols and revolvers) has been prohibited, "traumatic weapons of limited destruction" with rubber bullets appeared, until the mid-2010s there were no restrictions on the number of joules of energy, now this figure does not exceed 90 joules, and the weapon has become practically useless. In some cases it kills, in others it only angers the criminal, but in the end everything ends badly. In the EU countries, they tried to replace conventional pistols with "traumatic and gas" pistols, but this only simplifies the work of criminals. Putin and his gang have disarmed the population, fight for your rights. Man has not yet come up with anything better than a classic firearm.

Now if they are attacking you, you are allowed to defend your-self of course.. and there's also 'Imminent Threat' defense, but that can be 'iffy' in some situations.. ..Generally the law wants you to: "Retreat if possible without taking any physical action, and use only the amount of force reasonably necessary to fend off the attacker".. A victim cannot instantly pull a gun and shoot an attacker who raises a fist or slaps or punches the victim without trying another way of fending off the attack, because that would be more force than was reasonably necessary.. Before assaulting or using deadly force, a victim must fear being gravely injured or killed, and that fear must be reasonable.. This will be determined by the jury, aft reviewing the available evidence, security camera footage etc. ..There's obviously grey areas to all of this, and each situation will be different, different states have different laws, different jury's might be more racist in some states etc etc.

    The Byrna launcher is roughly 400+ fps with projectiles at .68 cal in size. This makes for a hard punch with the kinetic rounds in the midsection of an assailant. As for HDR50 from Umarex, they sell at 7.5 joules (which is appropriate for paintball) but also 11 joules which means the projectiles are moving 450+ fps. There's also pistol style less lethal markers at .43 cal but these work best with a chemical irritant (pepperball) as the first shot with a subsequent kinetic round.

    The byrna has 16 J more than the 11J umarex, what happens is that the unsrex hdr moves smaller balls which allows it more exit speed. There are kits that, just by modifying the valve, exceed 20J, that is already considerable power, although I prefer the Caliber 68, it is a pity that the HDR is not in Cal 68. But in any case, a Umarex HDR 50 at 20J is quite effective.

I guess you used the 16 joule version, which is not legal to own in Germany without an firearms license, which is not only expensive but also have really strict rules to get one. My 7,5 Joule version was at around 300 fps with a new co2 cartridge. Also the Hdr is available in 68 caliber, there might be more types of ammunition available for.
