Byrna Launcher experience ?

[Patrick]

Anyone have any experience ?

No. 

But I used to have a few medium sized old fashioned cans of pepper spray, but used it up (not telling).

I think that's a lot of money for a pepper gun.  https://byrna.com/collections/byrna-hd

(I mean if I ran a really rowdy daycare center, or had chronically loud neighbors, I might spend that much.)

I've always thought that this was a good reasonable priced pepper gun.  2shot, pyrotechnic launched, decent distance, under $40 (get a couple).  But I never had any of it either.  https://www.kimberamerica.com/pepper-blaster

Instead of pepper, I just show (maybe not point) a loaded firearm and ask them to reconsider what they're doing.   And then if they happen to have guns, I'm not standing there with pepper spray.

Didn't know about those. I kinda bought the Byrna on impulse, thought was the thing to do at the time. They are a terrible company to do business with and I don't yet know if the thing even works or not and it ordered back in June.

I used my pepper spray on unleashed aggressive dogs (years ago).   An optimal use for pepper.

They didn't like it, and decided to be aggressive somewhere else.

You could always put on heavy clothing (and a helmet) and have the wife shoot you with it.  Just for testing purposes.   I know my wife would have been more than happy to help me out with such testing.  

Probably best to only load 2-3 of those pepper balls (at one time).  In case enthusiasm takes over.

Got squirrels?  Now that might be real fun.

Co2 probably sounds like a pellet gun.

There are 3 different balls for it and the videos seem to show it being quite effective.
