Byrna MLR – FA

The MLR™ and MLR-FA™ are powered by a 26 ci / 3000 psi compressed air system that provides up to 200 shots per fill, twice that of most systems. Our patented air-driven feed system indexes the next projectile into the firing chamber with each shot for continuous feed rates of up to 15 rounds per second. This system reduces the risk of projectile jams or breaks due to misfeeds; and eliminates having to “shake” the launcher to maintain adequate feeding.

The MLR™ and MLR-FA™ are equipped with an easy-twist on/off valve with integrated safety vent. Easy to operate, even with gloves, this feature allows launchers to be stored degassed, while reliably deployable within seconds. The safety vent feature bleeds any trapped air from the launcher when turned to the off position, thereby eliminating the risk of an accidental discharge.

Designed for Professional Less-Lethal Operations

The Byrna MLR platform was developed for professional users who require increased projectile capacity, extended operational endurance, and dependable performance during demanding deployments. Built around Byrna’s patented Cyclone Feed System, the launcher continuously feeds projectiles into the firing chamber, helping reduce interruptions while maintaining consistent firing performance throughout extended use.

Unlike traditional handheld launchers designed primarily for personal defense, the MLR is engineered for larger-scale operational environments where officers may need increased projectile capacity and longer deployment times. The integrated 200-round hopper, compressed-air operating system, and forward-mounted air tank provide the capability to sustain operations without the frequent reloads associated with magazine-fed platforms.

Many agencies utilize systems like the MLR for crowd management, perimeter security, corrections operations, training exercises, and other situations where maintaining stand-off distance is important. The semi-automatic operating system allows users to deliver controlled, deliberate projectile placement while still benefiting from the platform’s high-capacity design.

When evaluating less-lethal launchers, agencies should consider factors such as deployment objectives, training requirements, maintenance procedures, and projectile compatibility. For organizations seeking a balance between precision, capacity, and reliability, the Byrna MLR provides a purpose-built solution designed specifically for professional less-lethal applications.

Operational Advantages of the Byrna MLR-FA Platform

The Byrna MLR-FA was developed for professional law enforcement and public safety applications where sustained deployment capability and high-volume projectile delivery are critical. Unlike traditional handheld launchers, the MLR platform is designed to provide rapid area coverage while maintaining the reliability and control required in dynamic field environments.

One of the defining features of the system is the patented Cyclone Feed System, which continuously indexes projectiles into the firing chamber to support high rates of fire while reducing the likelihood of feed interruptions. Combined with the high-capacity hopper and compressed-air operating system, the MLR-FA allows agencies to deploy large volumes of less-lethal projectiles without frequent reloading or cartridge replacement.

The platform is commonly used for crowd management operations, corrections environments, training exercises, and specialized tactical deployments where officers may need increased stand-off distance and greater area saturation capability than traditional less-lethal launchers can provide. The air-powered design also eliminates dependence on batteries while simplifying field readiness and storage procedures.

Departments evaluating less-lethal systems should consider factors such as deployment objectives, training requirements, projectile selection, and maintenance procedures. For agencies seeking a launcher capable of delivering consistent performance during extended operations, the Byrna MLR-FA offers a purpose-built solution engineered specifically for professional use.
