They are a very good alternative. I purchased one for my daughter years ago when she went off to college. It is well made and certainly better than many other such options. I wish I could afford to purchase one of these for all of my daughters. Hers looks just like this one, in orange, to help indicate that it wasn’t a firearm.
I have a whole pile of launchers that I have tried out over the past year and every one of them has some kind of quirk. I have some that were tweaked and are very powerful. the problem is that they are big and bulky or the balls fall out. I bought two of the LE models. An orange and a black one are my new favorites. I carry one when walking my pup and the other for target practice in the backyard. The LE is powerful. It pretty much destroyed the target tent I was using firing at 30 feet away. Ripped the target insert apart at the seams. The LE can be somewhat concealed and I want to carry a marker not altered for everyday carry since that might be a gray area legal-wise.
I approve this message! I currently own 2 Bryna SD's for my wife and daughter. I need one for myself. Yes, I also carry the real deal as well, and this LE is on my bucket list. I've read all the positive reviews about the LE. 💯💯😁😁🙏🙏
@habanerosselfdefenseanddec1446 Currently, I don't own a Bryna. I CCW my Walther PPQ M2. However, I'll be carrying the BRYNA LE when I do get it. It will give me the options for sure. Not everything needs to be met with lethal force. In addition, I will NEVER carry open. I wouldn't want a target on my back. 😁😁💯💯
Question: How can this launcher be 'less than lethal' when it penetrates a "skull" per observation of this video? Or are these "skulls" not actually as hard as a real skull? Just asking please?
Skully is 3D printed at %30 infill. It is hard, but not nearly as hard as a human skull. Now, that mask didnt even slow the round down. They are moving coming out of the launcher.
Exciting! .... I would call it the CE ( Conceal Edition) that must be able to fit in a Woman's purse.... Any rumors on a release month for this? Ballpark? @@jameslitsey2512 T
@@jameslitsey2512Not sure I believe in gossip, but we shall see. I already purchased my second LE because my first LE fell out 3 internal components. Still a powerful pistol and shoots with decent power and accuracy.
Ok. I have to question the mask there. Those lenses should not shatter like that, like they are made from some cheap plastic not intended for actual airsoft or paintball. The black plastic part just crumpled like a cheap toy. Looked like some knock-off not made to be used for protection.
@@edgefinesse4700Unfortunately true for some folks living in places that are quite restrictive. Please check your local laws and ordinances before getting one for daily carry.
It's like a paint-ball launcher or BB-launcher, so read associated statutes. It's a pneumatic projectile launcher. Some statutes bar use of the tear-gas projectiles.
A great point. I would say that this would only be worth it if: 1. You're a past felon and could no longer purchase a center-fire smokeless powder firearm and would want to add this in addition to your black powder firearm for defense. 2. You do legally own a center-fire smokeless powder firearm and would like a less lethal option to add to your self defense plans. 3. Because it's good for backyard plinking? 4. Because why not?
What's to be offended by? Not everyone can own a real gun and some don't want to kill a life in order to defend one's self. And in some restrictive states like CA and NY, the Byrna might be the only legal self defense weapon you can carry.
As a tool for less-lethal self-defense, we're proud to provide both gun owners and non-gun owners an option to incapacitate and deescalate. Different situations call for difference responses and having an opportunity to not immediately resort to lethal force should be a common sense mindset. We're here to enlighten, not offend.

Thanks for trusting us with your safety - peace of mind for individuals is our mission. RIP to your target tent.
Excellent Video as always. I love how critics loves to say it won't work when none of them have been shot 4 or 5 times or at point blank range.😂😂
They will change their mind when they take 7 rounds to the face mixed kinetic and tear gas
Just bought one yesterday to take camping. I'm not giving up my "other" thing though.
I love real guns and can’t wait to purchase all of Byrna’s options especially the Mission 4❤❤❤
Will this be effective during the winter when people are wearing big puffy coats ?
What a great launcher!
In other words “ it will fuck you up “😂
We would use this tag line if we could.
Gotta love the guys who go for the old-school microphone so it looks like a ShamWow infomercial 😂
I have to order more supplies I can’t wait to to a video!
I know that guy!!! :)
Thanks for your honest and expert less-lethal reviews!
@@Byrnanation I call them as I see them. I have yet to have a Byrna let me down in testing.
WITH ALL YOUR TESTING WITH THE BYRNA LE, HAVE YOU FOUND THE BEST BALL FOR POWER AND ACCURACY ? WHAT DO YOU RECCOMEND TO CARRY FOR DEFENSE?

Does thou carry both real-deal and a byrna? Concealed or open? thanks.

Something I need to see and haven't.. the impact of a pepperball.. does it do the same damage as a kinetic.. would it still puncture the mask
Additional to awesome Byrna, that shirt is AMAZING!
Pain equals safety
How would this fare in winter when perps wear puffy coats?
@@habanerosselfdefenseanddec1446 still going to hurt plus it would be about shot placement
@@habanerosselfdefenseanddec1446 aim for the face if the winter coat is a concern

Awesome.
I would recommend byrna as long it keep producing good quality projectile disposals
How did you reconfigure your byrna
They NEED to get that Byrna more compact…. Still way too bulky for daily conceal- carry
Stay tuned!

I just open carry my LE. No point trying to conceal it.
I open-carry my Byrna, with pistol leash and in level-2 holster. Open-carry gives the impression that community is safer.
Dirty Harry would approve of the Byrna LE!!!

Do u need a conceal carry permit
Nope because it's not a firearm.
Yep u do depends on state

Not in the state of TX for sure or in any constitutional carry state.

Can you still buy it being a felon?
yup!
Yes
Just to be safe check with the State attorney where you reside concerning questions about ownership. Rhode Island and New Jersey come to mind.
мощность выстрелов падает сразу или после нескольких?
I prefer a 38 and a ccw but the only people allowed to carry and USE GUNS ARE VIOLENT REPEAT OFFENDERS. welcome to California
😂
I am utterly shocked and offended by this "defense gun". Why in the world would someone want this???? Are back playing cowboys and Indians???
