Byrna Launcher

[Patrick]

Since we're talking about guns, anyone have a Byrna ?  How do you like it ?

I bought one and think its a pretty good gun. I just hate the company.

I don't think that's a gun/firearm (though it looks like one).

Yep, got a "launcher". Seems well made fairly accurate within reason. Recently opted for the 12 gram upgrade, not yet installed.
Not alot of use, just kinda got to have and tuck away.

I just got one during a soft moment, seemed like the thing to do at the time.  It lives in the door pocket in the truck along with a 12ga flare gun.

I have no idea what the 12 gram upgrade is, have to go look.

[Mooskee]

It is a paintball gun. It seems they have developed different loads for teargas, solid projectile etc..

The 12 gram upgrade is a piece that connects to the front that allows you to use a standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge. The following is from their web site:

"TAKE YOUR BYRNA HD LAUNCHER TO THE NEXT LEVEL BY UPGRADING TO THE BYRNA BOOST ADAPTOR.
This Byrna Boost Adaptor conveniently allows you to use standard and readily available 12 gram CO2 cartridges, delivering an increase in shot capacity to 20 rounds per cartridge. Easy to install.


 Performance: 6 FPS (Feet per Second) increase in velocity
 Increased payload: 50% more shots per CO2 canister
 Convenience: 12g CO2 readily available everywhere"

And I thought the cartridge was just a normal everyday obtain anywhere cartridge. Another scam from the company. Now I'll have to go grab one and take it to a store for a look/comparison.  I haven't used a co2 cartridge in anything for years. Thanks for the info.

I was out and about today and thought about the cartridges. No where I was at had ever heard of the 8 grm cartridges. So, I guess I'll have to buy that 12 grm add-on from them. Another rip-off from that company. And I thought I was done with them.  If they continue to irritate me over this I'll probably sell that thing.
