FAQS

Frequently  Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Byrna SD and the Byrna LE?

The Byrna LE is 60% more powerful than the Byrna SD, firing .68 caliber rounds at up to 340 fps compared to the SD’s 300 fps. The LE also has a 33% greater effective range (80 feet vs. 60 feet) and fires up to 35 rounds per 12g CO2 cartridge — a 40% increase over the SD. The LE features upgraded white dot sights for faster target acquisition and a smoother, lighter trigger pull. The SD Kinetic Kit is priced at $379.99 while the LE Launcher is $479.99. For most home defense and personal carry needs, the SD is excellent, but the LE is the choice for users who want maximum stopping power.

Byrna SD vs Byrna LE: which should I buy?

Choose the Byrna SD ($379.99) if you want an excellent all-around self-defense launcher at a lower price point — it delivers 300 fps with 60-foot range and is ideal for personal carry and basic home defense. Choose the Byrna LE ($479.99) if you want maximum handheld power — it fires 60% faster at 340 fps with 80-foot range and 35 shots per CO2 cartridge. The LE also has a smoother trigger, upgraded white dot sights, and 7-round magazines. For most California civilians, the SD provides excellent protection. Security professionals and those prioritizing maximum stopping power should upgrade to the LE.

How powerful is a Byrna kinetic round? Does it actually hurt?

Yes, a Byrna .68 caliber kinetic round delivers significant impact pain. Traveling at 300–340 fps depending on the launcher model, the dense injection-molded nylon projectile delivers approximately 12.5 joules of kinetic energy — enough to cause immediate pain, bruising, and disorientation at close range. The impact is comparable to a hard paintball hit but with a denser, harder projectile. Combined with the .68 caliber size (larger than most paintballs), the visual and physical deterrence effect is substantial. Pepper and Max rounds add chemical irritant effects on top of the kinetic impact, creating multiple layers of stopping power. Read our in-depth kinetic round effectiveness guide.
