I’m so disappointed! As a mother of a 3 year old and residing alone with my son, I was super excited and about to purchase the new Byrna Le option until I did a little research and found that in my state of CA, they have banned the use of pepper balls on the Byrna. Almost every single state in our country is allowed to own the Byrna with the pepper ball option with the exception of 2-3 states which one happens to be CA. So upsetting. It’s ridiculous how the states that are known to have a lot problems like New York and CA where the citizens are at risk of violence are being limited from having the opportunity to own all the necessary non-lethal options to use in order to protect themselves, their family, their property. It’s simply infuriating that we cannot protect ourselves like all the other states and be allowed to have the pepper ball option which appears to be the most effective with the Byrna. I have to get out of CA I’m so sick of this state. Gas prices are up to $7 dollars, food prices, and housing are is so excessively high that crime, and homelessness just keeps getting worst! To make matters worst we are not allowed to use pepper balls to protect ourselves, property, and loved ones!
Wow, I’m so sorry! And that’s just ridiculous and makes no sense! Is the ban in ALL pepper balls or just Byrna’s? Because Byrna makes some very mean ones that are mixed with other irritant stuff. Could be that a more plain pepper ball is allowed? Not sure… Someone just told me that in Brazil, for example, they banned rubber and pepper balls, but they allow metal ammo. Pure non-sense! Anyway, the kinetic rounds are really amazing and very effective. I’m going to test some aluminum balls in my next video. I have a feeling those will be even more damaging. Those, I’m sure, you’ll be able to get. Anyway I hope you’ll be able to find the perfect solution for you 🙏🏽 And how cool are 3 year olds??? My daughter is nearly 3 and it’s just 😍😍😍
Pepper balls are banned in CA. I had some shipped into CA by accident, I didn't know they were banned at the time, nor did the person who sold them to me. I wish I hadn't spent the money. IMO they aren't enough to stop a real crazy, just make them crazier. Interestingly enough, you can throw pepper spray in your Amazon cart and they'll deliver. Miami is spot on the kinetic balls, I think they are a far better option. The coconut will vouch for that point 😂😂🤣
CA looks like a mess. I’m in NY which is not great but better. I agree that it is terrible that our states ban anything like this. You can still use the kinetic balls.
I'm glad you finally got a Byrna launcher to test. I have a Byrna LE, and I have seen it tested on some other airgun channels. Now that I have seen what it can do against the Dominican Republic coconut I am much more confident in it as a home defense weapon. I look forward to your further testing.
The LTL bravo 1.50 is a more powerful more realize more realistic less lethal for half the price made by a real gun company in Italy this guys bravo got messed up mine shots 20joules with aluminum balls he must have shot something he shouldn't have out of his
It should be noted that although this technology is not lethal , if your shot hits the person in the eye they will most likely lose that eye forever. In Florida with the "stand your ground" laws that wouldn't be a problem but elsewhere you could be facing a law suit. With that in mind head shots should be avoided unless the person is visibly armed.
It depends on the laws in the State you're in - some will look at it as self defense and others will say you went over the line. Remember if someone loses an eye because of your actions , that's permanent and they will try to sue you in court. This can be very expensive in lawyers fees even if you're right. If the person you shot is dirt poor they will get free legal aid and you will never get a penny from them in the meantime it will cost you 10's of thousands of dollars. Think before you shoot.
So glad Byrna finally contacted you. We've been petitioning them for the past 5-6 months telling them about your channel and that they need to send you some of their stuff. I love my Byrna, it's been reliable and hasn't failed me yet. While it's not the most powerful launcher on the market, it's still more than capable of doing the job without causing permanent injuries. With a little practice you can pierce, switch off safety and fire in one smooth draw. Like every other gun, it's all about practice, practice, practice to get proficient with it. The Byrna LE is actually 22-24 Joules for the first shots and average 16-18 for the rest of the shots.
A huuuuge thank you for all your efforts behind the scenes! I’m so happy it finally worked out and I have to say, I am dealing with the nicest people at Byrna. And thanks for those details, I was basing the “16j” on what I saw on their website, but indeed that damage is very consistent with 20+ joules. My HDR 68 is technically 16j but in the heat it has the same destruction effects. Anyway the video after the next one will be the Byrna and the chronograph 😎 Thank you again so much and always
11:38 Impressive, would definitely give someone a head injury. As a retired police officer and military, I’ve been interested in purchasing a less-lethal weapon. Byrna just might be what I’m looking for. Outstanding video, Sir!
Another one well done! In terms of less lethal, the Byrna is a must have...I havent heard anything bad about it and your review was excellent as usual. I dont have one yet, but it's on the list for sure. Thanks again...have a safe trip to New York my friend...be safe!
My dearest George! Thank you - I’m glad you liked it. I must say, if more than 300 police agencies/departments use it… it can be trusted. I had a great first impression and I look forward to shooting it more and get more data. Time will tell… NY went well, thank you, and I already filmed the video for this weekend (pending TH-cam gods) 💪🏼😅
Another great video a long time in the waiting. I am glad Byrna finally came through. I have had the Byrna SD for some time now and it’s been part of my edc bag most every day. The few times I carry my Umerax Walther PPQ M2, I still have the Byrna in my vehicle. Mostly vice versa. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much my friend!! And your @byrnacantrel name kinda gives away that you’re a big fan ahahaha I’m so glad I finally got one, I had a great first impression and I much look forward continue shooting it and getting more and better data! Thank you again!
At last the long-awaited Byrna video! It was worth the wait, great stuff as usual! Wow, looks like Christmas always comes early to the Airgun Alley, with all the boxes filled with 'goodies' that you get, Gian! The Byrna's design seems a bit conventional, but its performance looked pretty good. Cool launcher!
My dearest Luiz, sorry so late and as always thank you so, so much for your kindness! I’m telling you, starting this channel was like starting a new childhood! I get so exited at every box that arrives hahaha Still a lot of shooting I need to do with this gun. So far I had a great impression… Thanks again my friend
@@AirgunAlley Hey, Gian, you know I'm a big fan of your channel, it's always very entertaining and informative. We share your excitement and entusiasm, especially those of us who live in more 'gun restrictive' places(even for airguns...the Hdr 50 is practically all we can get in these parts). So, as they say, "thank you for your service, sir!" 😄 Looking forward to the next video! Take care!
Hahaha that’s how it all starts… “thinking about it”… oh what an addiction we got our selves into, my friend! Anyway, I’ll be shooting this gun a lot now and with time we’ll see what conclusions we get… I appreciate you as always!
The Byrna caught my attention a few weeks ago, I definitely want one for both my wife and I, we are retired, early 70’s and people are getting Restless and we something to hurt but not kill….
The Byrna has arrived in Miami! Those Kinetic projectiles are really solid. I've shot them from my PepperBall Lifelite and TCP and they hit hard. I have never broken one yet and I've broken many Grimburg JULs on hard objects. Look forward to some future chrono and more testing from this launcher.
It finally made it!! I’m already on the script for the next one. Amazing what those light Kinetic rounds do, you’d never tell just by the looks and feel… keep up the great work my fellow video maker!
you are getting smarter. you are learning with practice and it shows. God has given you this gift for a reason! It is not often that i see someone grow on youtube.......
Byrna is an industry leader and trail blazer. Their launchers are for pepper balls, but, with the LE, their kinetic capability (especially the first shot) is also becoming more of a deterrent. I Look forward to the next Bryna episode (and the episodes in between lol).
Well said my friend! And good guess, as I have a PCP pistol battle coming up… and then the second Byrna episode after that! Hahaha Thanks so much again
Well I live in new JERSEY AN I JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL ON BOND FOR HAVING THE BYRNA SD GUN I BOUGHT FOR 500 AN COPS LOCKED ME UP AN CHARGED ME FOR HAVING A FIRE ARM WITH OUT AN UNLAWFUL PERMIT SO PLZ IF ANY ONE CAN HELP ME WITH ANY INFO PLZ LET ME NO PLZ
Contrary to Byrna's advertisements, the Byrna is not legal to conceal carry in New Jersey, and perhaps other states. I am sorry this happened to you. Legal help is the only thing you can do. @@briancarter1289
@@briancarter1289if you're truly serious that you were arrested I'm sorry you weren't aware of the law in New Jersey concerning airguns. All airguns are considered firearms in the state of New Jersey. You must have the appropriate permit to even purchase them including airsoft. Good luck.
Thank you for reviewing one of the hottest launchers on the market right now. The stock velocity of the projectiles is impressive. Amazing what those 3g nylons were able to do to that "hard, genuine, Dominican Republic coconut!" Sean Hannity has also been promoting Byrna to his millions of listeners. I heard that at least one police department has dumped their tasers for the Byrna LE. Might not be a bad time to buy Byrna stock! Thanks again, Miami! I have tremendous appreciation and respect for your hard work in educating U.S. You are saving lives, Brother!
Wow I cant thank you enough!! I truly appreciate your words Michael and they’re always a boost to keep going! Did you see?! You would never tell that those kinetic rounds would be so destructive, by holding them! They just feel like plain plastic. But oh boy, they’re not! And that’s a great idea! Investing in Byrna is def worth exploding, if so many agencies/departments are already equipped with them and if that’s the tendency….
@AirgunAlley Thank you in return for your response! I am honored! You truly have a unique style, presentation, and sense of humor that makes learning about "launchers," the term I prefer for legal reasons, fun. I always look forward to your new videos! FYI to you and your followers, LEOs in particular: We, Rochester, NY, had an assault on an officer on September 25th, wherein the officer attempted to use a taser, ineffectively, to subdue a suspect and was consequently assaulted and required hospital services as a result. My apologies to the officer and the RPD if I did not get all of those facts exactly correct; however, my point is that the encounter was yet one more incident wherein a taser was ineffective in subduing a suspect and wherein a Byrna pepperball/projectile launcher may likely have been far more effective. There have been far too many instances when the far more expensive tasers have failed our LEOs. It is, IMO, way past time to equip them all with the Byrna LE or an equivalent defensive/subduing tool. Btw, yes, investing in this technology, especially at this stage, would like be very wise. Peace and thanks again to you, Miami! You truly are opening eyes and saving lives! Vaya con Dios!
I'm glad you finally got the package from Byrna. I was planning to buy the HDB 68 16J, but now I think I'll get the LE instead. It's a bit pricey, so I have to start saving for it. Be safe in NY!
Haha I guess it all depend on the space you have. The LE is compact(ish) and it’s ready to go. If you have room, the HDB 68 gives you that Terminator nice feeling hahaha decisions decisions
Shooo!! I held my breath high with one hand on my mouth before that first shot, wondering "whom" does this byrna LE think 'he' is, to take on the mighty hard coconut, especially in the hands of Airgun alley who is known to be harsh on the likes of hdr's, dragon claw's etc? But to many 's suprises it didn't disappoint and you are right to say it might be on par with HDR68 16j. Thanks to the testing!!!
Hahahaha!! I had a feeling, so I went for it! And shooooo, it didn’t disappoint! Thank you for your confidence - yet another mighty Dominican Republic coconut rests in peace(s)
Thanks so much again my man!! I so appreciated your post! ( I realized I typoed a few things in my reply, but the tube won’t let me correct it haha) You know, to this day I’m unable to calculate my SEO, but I’m happy that we’re both getting rewarding feedbacks from our hard work. You rock man and I’ve learned a lot watching your channel. Should have two words about you, closing my next video 😎
Heey!! I arredy saw this gun in .50 caliper. It´s amazing, and redy to use everytime! A curious feature, in Brazil the rubber and pepper .50 amunition is denied for civil people. We only can buy aluminium, steel or plastic bullets in .50 caliper, because is less letal of other two (LOL)!!!
For me being able to reload quickly in the field is one of the bigger things so this unit is looking positive. Some guns are powerful but only take 5 rounds and can’t reload in field
As for 5 of each ball type, it's enough to try each one out, but I also heard it recommended to load the first ball or two as kinetic rounds for possible glass breakage if needed, then put pepper balls after that, particularly in a car related scenario.
I currently own the SD. Heck of a tool for self defense. 30 feet or less multiple kenitics will deter most. Looking to upgrade to a 12 gram co2 adapter for the extra fps just in case.
I have one with 3 mags ready to go, one in the launcher and 2 in clip covers and loaded with pepper rounds. If the first mag doesnt work, you get the pepper. Its nice carry and know its not lethal.
Thank you I sent the video to my boss we both bought one I'm waiting for it in the mail as we speak I chose bright orange for the record just to show people that it is non-lethal maybe not so much and on lethal it'll damn sure put a welt on you❤❤❤
And you seem to be echoed by a lot of people my friend! So much so that I contacted Grimburg yesterday asking if they’re interested in sending one… 🤞🏽🤞🏽
@@AirgunAlley I just got a Gavle a couple weeks ago and have had a ton of trouble with its reliability... which is a bummer because when it does work, it's SUPER powerful and feels awesome (trigger is a little wanky, but it's good enough). So, my issues: I had the bolt o-ring blow out on just the 7th shot !!... CO2 leaked out and I didn't know WHAT happened... tried to open it up based on website instructions and it wouldn't unscrew... emailed them they offered to just refund me... then on a second email they explained how I could try harder to remove the bolt (it had glue on it) and then I was able to see that the o-ring blew out and was stuck in the barrel.... so I replaced it (with the help of customer support - they sent me TH-cam video links).... then it worked great for 10 more shots... then it messed up again... on the first shot all the CO2 leaked out... checked the o-ring, it was fine... tried again: same issue... all the air leaked out, sputtering on the first shot.... super weird and a bummer again.... got home... tried it again; this time it worked. Ugh. They're offering a refund, but not offering any explanation... they almost seem happy to just refund me and lose me as a customer. It's odd. Maybe they're getting a lot of these issues from people and are planning a 2.0 version that actually works! I would think if my issues were rare, they'd be much more willing to make me happy by sending me a new one... or apologize and tell me it must be an anomaly and get me one that's reliable..... weird experience for such a pricey launcher.... wish it worked well, it feels awesome and SEEMS well made in every other way... and when it does work it's KILLER. Thinking about getting a Byrna instead, but they don't hit as hard.... hmm. SIDE NOTE: they did say that the Gavle has no regulator (to keep it slim) so it actually has liquid CO2 in it when you twist it in, so if it's left for more than a handful of minutes it'll freeze the o-ring and cause failures... something I wish they'd put on their website... I'd taken that 7th shot on the same (first) CO2 with about 10 minutes in between: so that was likely the cause of the o-ring break... but the other failures I had happened when using it perfectly within seconds of twisting the CO2 in. So yeah, beware the Gavle when it comes to reliability. If they were a bit more apologetic and seeked to solve my issues I wouldn't post publicly like this.... but they gotta get their customer support/service act together IMO. Hope you get a chance to review one and see...
Thank you for this, you know, several people keep suggesting me to look at Gimburg. I shall indeed contact them to see if they’re interested… thanks again!
Once you get a shotgun for those shotgun rounds, you can start your new channel, Shotgun Alley Miami. And when you were putting the CO2 in that Byrna... damn your wrists have some torque!
Hahaha I know man, my wrists go vzzvzvzvzvz vzzzvzvzvzzzz from 0 to 100 in 0.00001 secs! I gotta check with my neighbors on the Shotgun Alley one sec… haha
even though its a airgun channel its not like anyone will be upset to see a video with a firearm to test the 12 guage, arguably u got more firepower already just air power
True, very true! I’m actually getting more and more exited about making that video… I just need to work out some logistics, but being in the Gunshine state, helps a lot!
[early comment] i was just talking to myself re, your awesome wardrobe when the other you gave you a hard time over it ;-[ - It's not rediculous!!!! ;-]
Alright mate 👍😂check out chuck Norris bit of walker Texas ranger vibe going on at the start . Wish I could get one of them don't think they will do them in the UK. Need to test it against the HDR 68 battal of the 16 j .as always keep up the good work👍
Hahaha!! 🤠🤠 yeeehawww!! Oh mate I’ve been far from Texas this week, and stuck in cold rainy and rude NYC working my ass off. Thank you as always and indeed, the battles are about breakout big time once I finally get back! Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday my friend!
Hello there. It's been quite awhile since I've been here. Medical issues galore, but, I'm OK now. I gave up on everything. Deleted all my subscriptions thinking I won't be around to watch and comment. Anyway, I'm back in the running. Yesterday I came across a gun box that was gathering dust waaay back in the closet. Haven't seen it for many years. Too much of my wife's junk around it, on top of it, and, well, you get the picture. Anywho, it was nice to see three of my old friends in the box. One BB gun, and two pellet guns. Crosman 2240, a Crosman American Classic P1377BR, and a Umerex Walther AR 72908 (James Bond knock off). Watching your channel again, I thought how nice it would be if you added another feature to your channel around the three guns I have and others, of course, along the same lines. Just a thought. I want to be plink with them in my back yard, and be quiet like a church mouse because the old farts around here will most likely . . . Oh, my, the neighbors shooting a gun in his backyard . . . oh, dear, oh, dear. These older people around here are in everybody's business. Nosey you know what's. Anywho, nice to see your channel again. I'm glad I'm back, able to get back.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear from you! I’m so sorry things got hairy for a while - but I’m very relieved, as it seems like it’s all behind you now? Sounds like you’re back in full force with an enhanced appreciation for life! I wasn’t sure if maybe you just needed a break from my videos, as they can be repetitive I’m sure… That’s so cool you found that box and, as always, you read my mind. I’ve been thinking of going back to doing some good old bb/pellet replicas of old classic guns. But at the moment I’m blessed to have finally reached one of the main goals that I had set for my channel: have gun manufacturers send me their products to review. So at the moment I’m riding this wave… til it lasts hehehe Anyway, thank you so much and welcome back!! Next time should you disappear again, I’ll make sure to come check on you! Stay well my friend…
@@AirgunAlley it's nice to be back, and love the direction you are taking with your channel. Classic air guns. That truly interests me, and when you get a chance to add those to your channel would be awesome. You know, I was thinking about getting a Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle. I had one as a kid and would go down to the rivine near my house and shoot up a storm. My wife said, "not another gun!" I'll get it and sneak it in the house haha! Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Take care buddy!!
Ciao Stefano!! Con grande ritardo ti ringrazio come semre! Eh si, con questa ti diverti! Quei pallottoloni che non gli dai due lire a guardarli e tenerli in mano, in realtà spaccano tutto hahaha Un abbraccio forte, immagino stia arrivando il primo “freschino” dalle tue parte hehe
Airgun Alley Miami: Byrna has an "Investors" link at their website that is very detailed. Looks as though their value is really taking off with the release of the Byrna LE. I just watched an associated news clip wherein government representatives from Brazil toured the U.S. Byrna plant during consideration of arming the country's police forces with Byrna LEs. I also learned that Byrna has already equipped 300,000 LEOs in various locals with Byrna less lethal defense launchers.
So Byrna is donating their launchers to law enforcement organizations who are not paying for them, then going around saying, look at all these law enforcement agencies using byrna! Well no kidding, you have donated your products for free. They didn't choose to pay for them, big difference lol
Great video. I've been following Byrna products for a while, I'm unable to buy them though, because they don't sell them in the UK. I think the launchers would be legal in the UK, but the pepperballs probably would not. I didn't know about that simultaneous puncture-shot on the first trigger press. I thought it was like the Tippmann TIPX where the first shot punctures but does not discharge a projectile. If I'm ever fortunate enough to get my hands on one, you might have just saved me from shooting myself in the foot 😅.
the best part of this video was the ending where you were holding YOUR LITTLE HEART saying good-bye , lol , i know You and Your Wife are very proud of Yall's creation !!!! that's what real life is all about OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN . enjoy the time you have with her my awesome brother .!!! Now throughout the video i was only wondering one thing , why isnt he using the chronograph lol . i was super excited to hear at the end , your next video would be more scientific !!! LMAO !!! i must admit brother , from the very beginning i have often advocated against all these higher priced real firearm priced paintball toys , that greedy companies put these outlandish price tags on . about 2 years ago , i did a lot of research , comparing, evaluating , weighing out all the many exhaustive PROS and CONS on everything LESS THAN LETHAL , blah , blah ,blah ,blah ,blah , LOL. I at the time decided , that 2 or 3 was always better than one so i eventually settled on the less expensive route to see what i could accomplish in making them the very best they could be , and i did just that !!!. I must, must , must admit one thing though , when it comes to looks , BYRNA is one of the most finest looking less than lethals out there , but looks alone wont save your life in a real self defense situation . BYRNA , i want you to know , the only reason i clicked on this video was because MY BOY , AIRGUN ALLEY MIAMI was doing a review on your over-priced real firearm priced paintball marker !!!! to this date , i still believe , buy the lower priced paintball markers like one of my all time favorites HDP.50 , 89 TO 109 DOLLARS , PUT IN THE PROPER FIRING PIN , 2 PIECE TUNING BARREL AND SNIPER EXTENTION , FILE AND FIT ALL INTERNALS , POLISH THOSE THAT NEED , DYE THE SLIDE BLACK FOR AESTHETICS PURPOSES ONLY , AND YOU WILL HAVE A VERY CAPABLE AND EFFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANT , "RELIABLE "LESS THAN LETHAL OPTION THATS TWO AND A HALF TIMES MORE POWERFUL ,PLUS FOR YOUR MONEY ,and of course , it may not look as nice as the byrna , but , just like so , so ,so many women i have know throughout my life , looks are definitely not always the most important thing to consider LOL !!! i said all that to say this , i am a fair man , its always been all about the facts , and i cant wait to see yur next video on the subject matter my AWESOME BROTHER !!!! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A SUPER NICE DAY MY FRIEND !!!! .........................
Oh man, SHE’s the reason for this channel! Once a dad I realized I needed to expand my opportunities and this is where I dove in haha 🤞🏽🤞🏽 thanks a lot my Ninja !!
Awesome video, brother! 👍🏼 You and "Survival Living" have the best 2 reviews for the Byrna LE on TH-cam. Some of these other reviewers just want to show how fast the projectiles shoot out of the LE using those little radar machines, some even want to write shit down 📝 and " 🗣blah blah blah"...🙄 man, who gives a fuck about all that! 😂 I've been wanting to see what kind of DAMAGE this thing does, Simple As That, and you got it, bro. 😀🫵🏼👍🏼💯 Damn, what The LE did to the Butternut Squash. 😬😬... Yeah, you definitely helped me come to a decision. I thank you. And hey, I noticed you have alot of haters on here, wtf 🤔... maybe you should ask/challenge them to put their money where their mouth is, ask them to volunteer to take the shots for the Byrna LE review Part 2. 🤣
Do you mean “the deer skull on news paper”? If so that’s not a poster, but a painting my wife made with various techniques. And she’s honored someone liked it. If that’s not the poster, than I’m not sure which one you mean….
Hi Airgun Alley i have the same rubber /steal balls you have I they weren't working what I did was put a few drops of pellgun oil and shook them around and they work like a charm, just an idea have a good day 👍
I would like this better than hdp50 compact, I learn in hdp 50 compact with built in mags, u can't keep pulling trigger without CO2 pierced while amo loaded like if u wanted to practice trigger pulls, it bends the spring up and trigger pull becomes hard and stick becomes black part on spring starts rubbing the insides, I learned only do practice trigger pulls while not loaded.
Hahaha I thought they’re common… on Amazon in the US you can get it orange… There is actually also a greenish version as well. I’m learning to like it actually
Many thanks to you and him! Macabespeed is a true standup guy! I see you’re a Ducati man?I don’t know if you watch MotoGP, I do every weekend, from Friday to Sunday. Big Pecco fan
So this Byrna thing outputs about 20 joules in the first shot. I'm trying to get an idea of what that means. I understand a bit about airsoft, so that's my reference point. A 0.2 gram airsoft BB fired at just over 300 fps has about 1 joule of energy upon leaving the muzzle; a 0.5 gram airsoft BB first at just under 500 fps has just under 5 joules of energy. Consider an automatic airsoft rifle firing a 30 round magazine of 0.5 gram BBs in about two seconds. I'm guessing it wouldn't be as bad as a shot or two from the Byrna, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?
I wish Byrna would provide the LE Light or something with max of 5 Joules for Germany for instance and an additional kit to upgrade it to the standard one :)
I really love your videos, I'm actually not a gun owner at all, I grew up around guns with my stepfather and my grandfather hunting so I'm not completely unexperienced, but I've been thinking about some home protection, a friend of mine recommended this brand to me, obviously I would like something pretty powerful that can protect myself and my family if need, any suggestions for just starting out something that would be good to start with? The different types of ammo to ues etc. and feel half decently safe? I would really appreciate any advice from anybody reading this. Very cool videos man I love them
Thank you so much!! The trip is FINALLY over and I’m back home. And of course as soon I got back I filmed the video for this weekend! (Pending TH-cam’s clemency, of course) Thank you again!
Question me being a single women I live up north. Not the winter time people wear bubble thick coats. Do you think this LE would be affective against someone wearing a thick winter coat?
Hi and good question!! There are several videos out there of people in various situations and wearing a variety of clothing, getting hit by Byrnas, I just watched one yesterday that had a compilation of these video clips… I’ll try to find the link. The downside of Byrna is that it shoots only round projectiles VS other Revolver style models that also take more pointy ammo. I believe thick clothing and jacket will drastically reduce the power of a round ball. But if the situation is truly drastic, it’s best to aim towards more exposed parts…
Awesome video! So what do you think is the best all around weight projectile for the Byrna LE? The 2.9-3 gram Kinetics or the 3.5 gram riot balls? Not sure which to purchase. Thx!
Thanks a lot and great question! I like to alternate ammo in all my guns and magazines. Pepper balls, metal projectiles, pointy (when possible)… but to answer your question, I say the kinetic rounds by Byrna. Amazing ammo!
Thank you for this my friend! And you’re right, I’ve been debating on this. I’m actually just trying to borrow one just to make this specific video. There is no gun powder involved, so technically… I think… I guess… the shotgun in this case does not become a firearm. Anyway, it would be only for this video 😊
The only thing lacking in your intro is lighting up a Marlboro cigarette. 😂 Last time I looked the 12 gauge Byrna shotgun rounds were VERY expensive. On the other hand, if they are to be used in a home defense shotgun, one would, hopefully not need to purchase many of them and clean up after a home invasion would be easier.

I have a question. Can one use 50 cal balls with this air gun?
I’m so disappointed! As a mother of a 3 year old and residing alone with my son, I was super excited and about to purchase the new Byrna Le option until I did a little research and found that in my state of CA, they have banned the use of pepper balls on the Byrna. Almost every single state in our country is allowed to own the Byrna with the pepper ball option with the exception of 2-3 states which one happens to be CA. So upsetting. It’s ridiculous how the states that are known to have a lot problems like New York and CA where the citizens are at risk of violence are being limited from having the opportunity to own all the necessary non-lethal options to use in order to protect themselves, their family, their property. It’s simply infuriating that we cannot protect ourselves like all the other states and be allowed to have the pepper ball option which appears to be the most effective with the Byrna. I have to get out of CA I’m so sick of this state. Gas prices are up to $7 dollars, food prices, and housing are is so excessively high that crime, and homelessness just keeps getting worst! To make matters worst we are not allowed to use pepper balls to protect ourselves, property, and loved ones!
Wow, I’m so sorry! And that’s just ridiculous and makes no sense! Is the ban in ALL pepper balls or just Byrna’s? Because Byrna makes some very mean ones that are mixed with other irritant stuff. Could be that a more plain pepper ball is allowed? Not sure…
Someone just told me that in Brazil, for example, they banned rubber and pepper balls, but they allow metal ammo. Pure non-sense!
Anyway, the kinetic rounds are really amazing and very effective. I’m going to test some aluminum balls in my next video. I have a feeling those will be even more damaging.
Those, I’m sure, you’ll be able to get.
Anyway I hope you’ll be able to find the perfect solution for you 🙏🏽
And how cool are 3 year olds??? My daughter is nearly 3 and it’s just 😍😍😍
Pepper balls are banned in CA. I had some shipped into CA by accident, I didn't know they were banned at the time, nor did the person who sold them to me. I wish I hadn't spent the money. IMO they aren't enough to stop a real crazy, just make them crazier. Interestingly enough, you can throw pepper spray in your Amazon cart and they'll deliver. Miami is spot on the kinetic balls, I think they are a far better option. The coconut will vouch for that point 😂😂🤣
Yet, people vote to keep CA a blue state!!
CA looks like a mess. I’m in NY which is not great but better. I agree that it is terrible that our states ban anything like this. You can still use the kinetic balls.
I’m in Ca also. Shot with kinetic rounds first. Then go in with the Bad Guy pepper spray Byrna sells. It shots 15 ft.
Impressed by how it bent the steel, more than the coconut. Very nice.
I'm glad you finally got a Byrna launcher to test. I have a Byrna LE, and I have seen it tested on some other airgun channels. Now that I have seen what it can do against the Dominican Republic coconut I am much more confident in it as a home defense weapon. I look forward to your further testing.
Thank you so much! I appreciate how much you, like me (and many others, I must say), respect the Dominican Republic coconut
🙌🏼🥥
The LTL bravo 1.50 is a more powerful more realize more realistic less lethal for half the price made by a real gun company in Italy this guys bravo got messed up mine shots 20joules with aluminum balls he must have shot something he shouldn't have out of his
I agree now I want one .
Very nice demo of the LE. I've owned the HD XL for three years, and the LE since the 2023 Shot Show. Wouldn't leave home without it.
Nice! I’m happy Byrna has worked out so well for you. So far I’m loving it too… And thank you so much!
It should be noted that although this technology is not lethal , if your shot hits the person in the eye they will most likely lose that eye forever. In Florida with the "stand your ground" laws that wouldn't be a problem but elsewhere you could be facing a law suit. With that in mind head shots should be avoided unless the person is visibly armed.
Absolutely, 100% !
Nah if I get into wit someone I know is gonna whoop my ass I'm shooting any body part from the chest up fuck u mean.
You mean you’ll shoot your eye out?!?!?
If a person's pushed you to the point that you need this to defend yourself the last thing I would worry about is their eyes face shot every time
It depends on the laws in the State you're in - some will look at it as self defense and others will say you went over the line. Remember if someone loses an eye because of your actions , that's permanent and they will try to sue you in court. This can be very expensive in lawyers fees even if you're right. If the person you shot is dirt poor they will get free legal aid and you will never get a penny from them in the meantime it will cost you 10's of thousands of dollars. Think before you shoot.
So glad Byrna finally contacted you. We've been petitioning them for the past 5-6 months telling them about your channel and that they need to send you some of their stuff.
I love my Byrna, it's been reliable and hasn't failed me yet. While it's not the most powerful launcher on the market, it's still more than capable of doing the job without causing permanent injuries.
With a little practice you can pierce, switch off safety and fire in one smooth draw. Like every other gun, it's all about practice, practice, practice to get proficient with it. The Byrna LE is actually 22-24 Joules for the first shots and average 16-18 for the rest of the shots.
A huuuuge thank you for all your efforts behind the scenes! I’m so happy it finally worked out and I have to say, I am dealing with the nicest people at Byrna.
And thanks for those details, I was basing the “16j” on what I saw on their website, but indeed that damage is very consistent with 20+ joules.
My HDR 68 is technically 16j but in the heat it has the same destruction effects. Anyway the video after the next one will be the Byrna and the chronograph 😎
Thank you again so much and always
but it's far too expansive, compared to HSR 50 or so!
11:38 Impressive, would definitely give someone a head injury. As a retired police officer and military, I’ve been interested in purchasing a less-lethal weapon. Byrna just might be what I’m looking for. Outstanding video, Sir!
Thank you so so much!! Really means a lot, especially coming from someone with your experience.
Well they should choose their victims better, Did that hurt big sissy.
As retired military and retired police would you purchase this Byrna LE for your wife or a daughter?
@@emilys.haynes3110 I’d have to test it myself first. But if it truly works as advertised and as well as the video, then I’d have to say “yes.”
@SSGTStryker that you for answering my question.
Absolutely AMAZING review, concise, functionally informative, fun to watch…thank you so much!!
Your stunt man kept his composer so calm despite being shot so many yime in the face. Didn't even blink. Incredible
Oh man that’s why he’s a Staff here at Airgun Alley. We’d be nowhere with out him. Outstanding performances! 🙌🏼
Glad i found this channel. My favorite of all the air gun channels and also does non lethal weapons as well, 0:36
Thank you so much my friend!! I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽🙌🏼
Another one well done!
In terms of less lethal, the Byrna is a must have...I havent heard anything bad about it and your review was excellent as usual.
I dont have one yet, but it's on the list for sure.
Thanks again...have a safe trip to New York my friend...be safe!
My dearest George! Thank you - I’m glad you liked it. I must say, if more than 300 police agencies/departments use it… it can be trusted. I had a great first impression and I look forward to shooting it more and get more data. Time will tell…
NY went well, thank you, and I already filmed the video for this weekend (pending TH-cam gods) 💪🏼😅
Another great video a long time in the waiting. I am glad Byrna finally came through. I have had the Byrna SD for some time now and it’s been part of my edc bag most every day. The few times I carry my Umerax Walther PPQ M2, I still have the Byrna in my vehicle. Mostly vice versa. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much my friend!! And your @byrnacantrel name kinda gives away that you’re a big fan ahahaha
I’m so glad I finally got one, I had a great first impression and I much look forward continue shooting it and getting more and better data!
Thank you again!
At last the long-awaited Byrna video! It was worth the wait, great stuff as usual! Wow, looks like Christmas always comes early to the Airgun Alley, with all the boxes filled with 'goodies' that you get, Gian! The Byrna's design seems a bit conventional, but its performance looked pretty good. Cool launcher!
My dearest Luiz, sorry so late and as always thank you so, so much for your kindness!
I’m telling you, starting this channel was like starting a new childhood! I get so exited at every box that arrives hahaha
Still a lot of shooting I need to do with this gun. So far I had a great impression…
Thanks again my friend
@@AirgunAlley Hey, Gian, you know I'm a big fan of your channel, it's always very entertaining and informative. We share your excitement and entusiasm, especially those of us who live in more 'gun restrictive' places(even for airguns...the Hdr 50 is practically all we can get in these parts). So, as they say, "thank you for your service, sir!" 😄 Looking forward to the next video! Take care!
Good Shootin Buddy !!!
Never had a Byrna,.... Always been T4E for me, but Now I'm
Thinking about it.
Hahaha that’s how it all starts… “thinking about it”… oh what an addiction we got our selves into, my friend!
Anyway, I’ll be shooting this gun a lot now and with time we’ll see what conclusions we get…
I appreciate you as always!
The Byrna caught my attention a few weeks ago, I definitely want one for both my wife and I, we are retired, early 70’s and people are getting Restless and we something to hurt but not kill….
The Byrna has arrived in Miami! Those Kinetic projectiles are really solid. I've shot them from my PepperBall Lifelite and TCP and they hit hard. I have never broken one yet and I've broken many Grimburg JULs on hard objects. Look forward to some future chrono and more testing from this launcher.
Only issue I had with mine was shooting through a broken tv I had it gouged them up really good
It finally made it!! I’m already on the script for the next one. Amazing what those light Kinetic rounds do, you’d never tell just by the looks and feel… keep up the great work my fellow video maker!
Perfect review brother. From thumbnail to the tests. Thanks for this concise breakdown. Always look forward to your show!
Thank you so, so much belatedly my friend!! 👏🏼🙌🏼
you are getting smarter. you are learning with practice and it shows. God has given you this gift for a reason! It is not often that i see someone grow on youtube.......
Well thank you very much! It’s been a long learning process that will never end. I appreciate you
Another great video! Wasnt able to see it until today. Awesome shooting test. Thats quite some damage for a 2.9g proyectile.
Thank you so much!! And did you see that, astonishing the number they did on the coconut!
Thanks again!
Great video as always :D Looking forward to seeing those shotgun shells :D Looking forward to the next video :D
Thank you sooo much as always my friend!! Next up: Hatsan Jet2 vs Evanix Viper! Just uploaded it, I think it’s a fun one 🤞🏽
Byrna is an industry leader and trail blazer. Their launchers are for pepper balls, but, with the LE, their kinetic capability (especially the first shot) is also becoming more of a deterrent. I Look forward to the next Bryna episode (and the episodes in between lol).
Well said my friend! And good guess, as I have a PCP pistol battle coming up… and then the second Byrna episode after that! Hahaha
Thanks so much again
Well I live in new JERSEY AN I JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL ON BOND FOR HAVING THE BYRNA SD GUN I BOUGHT FOR 500 AN COPS LOCKED ME UP AN CHARGED ME FOR HAVING A FIRE ARM WITH OUT AN UNLAWFUL PERMIT SO PLZ IF ANY ONE CAN HELP ME WITH ANY INFO PLZ LET ME NO PLZ
ITS CRAZY AN I EVEN TRIED TO SHOW THEM THE CARD I CARRY IN MY POCKET THEY SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER
Contrary to Byrna's advertisements, the Byrna is not legal to conceal carry in New Jersey, and perhaps other states. I am sorry this happened to you. Legal help is the only thing you can do. @@briancarter1289
@@briancarter1289if you're truly serious that you were arrested I'm sorry you weren't aware of the law in New Jersey concerning airguns. All airguns are considered firearms in the state of New Jersey. You must have the appropriate permit to even purchase them including airsoft. Good luck.
Thank you, sir. I purchased an LE using you link and discount. Great channel.
Another excellent very entertaining video, everything well explained as usual.
Not overly enamoured with the pistol but hey each to his own.
I absolutely agree, “each to his own”! Well said and thank you so much as always, truly appreciated!!
good intro! I am very exceptionally proud of you! :)
And I am very exceptionally thankful to you. Truly!
Thank you for reviewing one of the hottest launchers on the market right now. The stock velocity of the projectiles is impressive. Amazing what those 3g nylons were able to do to that "hard, genuine, Dominican Republic coconut!" Sean Hannity has also been promoting Byrna to his millions of listeners. I heard that at least one police department has dumped their tasers for the Byrna LE. Might not be a bad time to buy Byrna stock! Thanks again, Miami! I have tremendous appreciation and respect for your hard work in educating U.S. You are saving lives, Brother!
Wow I cant thank you enough!! I truly appreciate your words Michael and they’re always a boost to keep going!
Did you see?! You would never tell that those kinetic rounds would be so destructive, by holding them! They just feel like plain plastic. But oh boy, they’re not!
And that’s a great idea! Investing in Byrna is def worth exploding, if so many agencies/departments are already equipped with them and if that’s the tendency….
@AirgunAlley Thank you in return for your response! I am honored! You truly have a unique style, presentation, and sense of humor that makes learning about "launchers," the term I prefer for legal reasons, fun. I always look forward to your new videos! FYI to you and your followers, LEOs in particular: We, Rochester, NY, had an assault on an officer on September 25th, wherein the officer attempted to use a taser, ineffectively, to subdue a suspect and was consequently assaulted and required hospital services as a result. My apologies to the officer and the RPD if I did not get all of those facts exactly correct; however, my point is that the encounter was yet one more incident wherein a taser was ineffective in subduing a suspect and wherein a Byrna pepperball/projectile launcher may likely have been far more effective. There have been far too many instances when the far more expensive tasers have failed our LEOs. It is, IMO, way past time to equip them all with the Byrna LE or an equivalent defensive/subduing tool. Btw, yes, investing in this technology, especially at this stage, would like be very wise. Peace and thanks again to you, Miami! You truly are opening eyes and saving lives! Vaya con Dios!
I have one and love it, perfect close-range protection/deterrent
Got my LE today !! With kinetic and tear gas pellets
Huge congrats my friend! You are now all set 😎
I'm glad you finally got the package from Byrna. I was planning to buy the HDB 68 16J, but now I think I'll get the LE instead. It's a bit pricey, so I have to start saving for it. Be safe in NY!
Haha I guess it all depend on the space you have. The LE is compact(ish) and it’s ready to go. If you have room, the HDB 68 gives you that Terminator nice feeling hahaha decisions decisions
@@AirgunAlleyHDB makes 50j, so for what a byrna if it's not for carry and just for home?
❤greatest show as usual, you are blessed to have your bundle of joy ❤
Thank you so much Alan!! You said it, blessed is exactly what I am! Thank you so much for your kins support as always 🙌🏼
Great demo man!
Thank you so much my friend!!
Great Video!- Can you do one comparing the SD vs LE?
Did you see those shots bend the metal bracket !
Powerful AF !
🙌🏼
Shooo!! I held my breath high with one hand on my mouth before that first shot, wondering "whom" does this byrna LE think 'he' is, to take on the mighty hard coconut, especially in the hands of Airgun alley who is known to be harsh on the likes of hdr's, dragon claw's etc? But to many 's suprises it didn't disappoint and you are right to say it might be on par with HDR68 16j. Thanks to the testing!!!
Hahahaha!! I had a feeling, so I went for it! And shooooo, it didn’t disappoint! Thank you for your confidence - yet another mighty Dominican Republic coconut rests in peace(s)
Bellissimi ed interessanti,come sempre i tuoi video.... comunque non è vero che eri ridicolo con quel vestito e quel cappello che io trovo fantastico

Thanks so much my dear warrior!
welcome, bro@@AirgunAlley
Great video and test as always. Very nice pistol. Cheers from your friend in Norway 😃
Thank you so much Maestro!
Heey!! I arredy saw this gun in .50 caliper. It´s amazing, and redy to use everytime! A curious feature, in Brazil the rubber and pepper .50 amunition is denied for civil people. We only can buy aluminium, steel or plastic bullets in .50 caliper, because is less letal of other two (LOL)!!!
Hahahahaha!! Really?? But why!! But hey, I guess better this way than the-other-way-around 😂
You rock brother!!!
Dude thank you so so much!! 🙌🏼🙏🏽
For me being able to reload quickly in the field is one of the bigger things so this unit is looking positive. Some guns are powerful but only take 5 rounds and can’t reload in field
As for 5 of each ball type, it's enough to try each one out, but I also heard it recommended to load the first ball or two as kinetic rounds for possible glass breakage if needed, then put pepper balls after that, particularly in a car related scenario.
Love it! Very good idea…
Wow, gr8 defensive weapon. Wondering if a license is needed in NYC. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
Great video!! Are the projectiles reusable?
Thanks a lot Brandon and yes, most of the time they are. Even after hitting hard stuff…
I currently own the SD. Heck of a tool for self defense. 30 feet or less multiple kenitics will deter most. Looking to upgrade to a 12 gram co2 adapter for the extra fps just in case.
🙌🏼
Is the 12g actually more powerful or does it just last longer?
@@kuanlee6294it last longer the le is still stronger.
I have one with 3 mags ready to go, one in the launcher and 2 in clip covers and loaded with pepper rounds. If the first mag doesnt work, you get the pepper. Its nice carry and know its not lethal.
Nice!! Great input!! Thanks a lot
Are you going to test Grimburg Gavle? (36 joules from factory)
The grimburg gavle is useless it doesn't have a pierce to activate,good look trying to turn that shit while a Crack head beats you
Thank you for this, you know, several people keep suggesting me that gun. I shall indeed contact them to see if they’re interested… thanks again!
@@AirgunAlley 👍👍thanks for your reply, I'll be waiting if you get to test it.
That one seems to be the most powerful. I wanted that one but you can’t reload it on the fly. You have to have two guns to shoot more than 5 rounds.
Thank you I sent the video to my boss we both bought one I'm waiting for it in the mail as we speak I chose bright orange for the record just to show people that it is non-lethal maybe not so much and on lethal it'll damn sure put a welt on you❤❤❤
Love all the features and looks of the Byrna. However, I like the power of the Galve gun based on research.
And you seem to be echoed by a lot of people my friend! So much so that I contacted Grimburg yesterday asking if they’re interested in sending one… 🤞🏽🤞🏽
@@AirgunAlleywould love to see that review, trying to decide on 1st one to buy between gavle, byrna le and umarex 50 or 68
@@AirgunAlley I just got a Gavle a couple weeks ago and have had a ton of trouble with its reliability... which is a bummer because when it does work, it's SUPER powerful and feels awesome (trigger is a little wanky, but it's good enough). So, my issues: I had the bolt o-ring blow out on just the 7th shot !!... CO2 leaked out and I didn't know WHAT happened... tried to open it up based on website instructions and it wouldn't unscrew... emailed them they offered to just refund me... then on a second email they explained how I could try harder to remove the bolt (it had glue on it) and then I was able to see that the o-ring blew out and was stuck in the barrel.... so I replaced it (with the help of customer support - they sent me TH-cam video links).... then it worked great for 10 more shots... then it messed up again... on the first shot all the CO2 leaked out... checked the o-ring, it was fine... tried again: same issue... all the air leaked out, sputtering on the first shot.... super weird and a bummer again.... got home... tried it again; this time it worked. Ugh. They're offering a refund, but not offering any explanation... they almost seem happy to just refund me and lose me as a customer. It's odd. Maybe they're getting a lot of these issues from people and are planning a 2.0 version that actually works! I would think if my issues were rare, they'd be much more willing to make me happy by sending me a new one... or apologize and tell me it must be an anomaly and get me one that's reliable..... weird experience for such a pricey launcher.... wish it worked well, it feels awesome and SEEMS well made in every other way... and when it does work it's KILLER. Thinking about getting a Byrna instead, but they don't hit as hard.... hmm. SIDE NOTE: they did say that the Gavle has no regulator (to keep it slim) so it actually has liquid CO2 in it when you twist it in, so if it's left for more than a handful of minutes it'll freeze the o-ring and cause failures... something I wish they'd put on their website... I'd taken that 7th shot on the same (first) CO2 with about 10 minutes in between: so that was likely the cause of the o-ring break... but the other failures I had happened when using it perfectly within seconds of twisting the CO2 in. So yeah, beware the Gavle when it comes to reliability. If they were a bit more apologetic and seeked to solve my issues I wouldn't post publicly like this.... but they gotta get their customer support/service act together IMO. Hope you get a chance to review one and see...
Have you heard of the Grimburg Gavle? 36 joules out the box
Thank you for this, you know, several people keep suggesting me to look at Gimburg. I shall indeed contact them to see if they’re interested… thanks again!
Kurt with Grimburg actually is achieving over 40 joules out of the box using their heavier ammo.
Johnny Law...about time you do some Byrna slinging round these parts 💯
Hahaha yessir!! That was fun! Gotta do it again
Très bien !!! 👍👍👍
Il faudrait que Byrna ait des revendeurs en France...
Merci beaucoup mon ami! Et oui, absolutement
Once you get a shotgun for those shotgun rounds, you can start your new channel, Shotgun Alley Miami.
And when you were putting the CO2 in that Byrna... damn your wrists have some torque!
Hahaha I know man, my wrists go vzzvzvzvzvz vzzzvzvzvzzzz from 0 to 100 in 0.00001 secs!
I gotta check with my neighbors on the Shotgun Alley one sec… haha
even though its a airgun channel its not like anyone will be upset to see a video with a firearm to test the 12 guage, arguably u got more firepower already just air power
True, very true! I’m actually getting more and more exited about making that video… I just need to work out some logistics, but being in the Gunshine state, helps a lot!

Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday my friend!
Hello there. It's been quite awhile since I've been here. Medical issues galore, but, I'm OK now. I gave up on everything. Deleted all my subscriptions thinking I won't be around to watch and comment. Anyway, I'm back in the running. Yesterday I came across a gun box that was gathering dust waaay back in the closet. Haven't seen it for many years. Too much of my wife's junk around it, on top of it, and, well, you get the picture. Anywho, it was nice to see three of my old friends in the box. One BB gun, and two pellet guns. Crosman 2240, a Crosman American Classic P1377BR, and a Umerex Walther AR 72908 (James Bond knock off). Watching your channel again, I thought how nice it would be if you added another feature to your channel around the three guns I have and others, of course, along the same lines. Just a thought. I want to be plink with them in my back yard, and be quiet like a church mouse because the old farts around here will most likely . . . Oh, my, the neighbors shooting a gun in his backyard . . . oh, dear, oh, dear. These older people around here are in everybody's business. Nosey you know what's. Anywho, nice to see your channel again. I'm glad I'm back, able to get back.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear from you! I’m so sorry things got hairy for a while - but I’m very relieved, as it seems like it’s all behind you now?
Sounds like you’re back in full force with an enhanced appreciation for life!
I wasn’t sure if maybe you just needed a break from my videos, as they can be repetitive I’m sure…
That’s so cool you found that box and, as always, you read my mind.
I’ve been thinking of going back to doing some good old bb/pellet replicas of old classic guns.
But at the moment I’m blessed to have finally reached one of the main goals that I had set for my channel: have gun manufacturers send me their products to review. So at the moment I’m riding this wave… til it lasts hehehe
Anyway, thank you so much and welcome back!! Next time should you disappear again, I’ll make sure to come check on you! Stay well my friend…
@@AirgunAlley it's nice to be back, and love the direction you are taking with your channel. Classic air guns. That truly interests me, and when you get a chance to add those to your channel would be awesome. You know, I was thinking about getting a Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle. I had one as a kid and would go down to the rivine near my house and shoot up a storm. My wife said, "not another gun!" I'll get it and sneak it in the house haha! Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Take care buddy!!
good work 👍
Thank you very much sir, with a bit of delay 😂🙌🏼
Will the pepper balls still work if fired at a subject wearing a winter time puffer down jacket?
Good question, probably you’d have shoot few rounds to be sure… or aim for the head hehe
Byrna eh? Ti sei divertito, si vede hehehehe! Mi piace, peccato che qui in Svezia non la vendono. Saluti a te e alla bel bambina!
Ciao Stefano!! Con grande ritardo ti ringrazio come semre! Eh si, con questa ti diverti! Quei pallottoloni che non gli dai due lire a guardarli e tenerli in mano, in realtà spaccano tutto hahaha
Un abbraccio forte, immagino stia arrivando il primo “freschino” dalle tue parte hehe
Airgun Alley Miami: Byrna has an "Investors" link at their website that is very detailed. Looks as though their value is really taking off with the release of the Byrna LE. I just watched an associated news clip wherein government representatives from Brazil toured the U.S. Byrna plant during consideration of arming the country's police forces with Byrna LEs. I also learned that Byrna has already equipped 300,000 LEOs in various locals with Byrna less lethal defense launchers.
So Byrna is donating their launchers to law enforcement organizations who are not paying for them, then going around saying, look at all these law enforcement agencies using byrna! Well no kidding, you have donated your products for free. They didn't choose to pay for them, big difference lol
How can I receive the discount and purchase this pistol
You can always find all the info you need in the “pinned comment” above all comments
Great video. I've been following Byrna products for a while, I'm unable to buy them though, because they don't sell them in the UK. I think the launchers would be legal in the UK, but the pepperballs probably would not. I didn't know about that simultaneous puncture-shot on the first trigger press. I thought it was like the Tippmann TIPX where the first shot punctures but does not discharge a projectile. If I'm ever fortunate enough to get my hands on one, you might have just saved me from shooting myself in the foot 😅.
Hahaha glad to be of service! Saving feet since 2021 hahaha! Thanks a lot man and I hope they’ll soon make they’re way to the UK
The reason they have 5 projectiles in each one of those cylinders is because Originally in the other models the mags only held by 5 projectiles😊
Hehe yep! I figured that out soon after… very good point my friend, thank you
I want one but they so pricey!! At that power it would be a lot more worth while tho
when it come down in price ill buy one
the best part of this video was the ending where you were holding YOUR LITTLE HEART saying good-bye , lol , i know You and Your Wife are very proud of Yall's creation !!!! that's what real life is all about OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN . enjoy the time you have with her my awesome brother .!!!
Now throughout the video i was only wondering one thing , why isnt he using the chronograph lol .
i was super excited to hear at the end , your next video would be more scientific !!! LMAO !!!
i must admit brother , from the very beginning i have often advocated against all these higher priced real firearm priced paintball toys , that greedy companies put these outlandish price tags on .
about 2 years ago , i did a lot of research , comparing, evaluating , weighing out all the many exhaustive PROS and CONS on everything LESS THAN LETHAL , blah , blah ,blah ,blah ,blah , LOL.
I at the time decided , that 2 or 3 was always better than one so i eventually settled on the less expensive route to see what i could accomplish in making them the very best they could be , and i did just that !!!.
I must, must , must admit one thing though , when it comes to looks , BYRNA is one of the most finest looking less than lethals out there , but looks alone wont save your life in a real self defense situation .
BYRNA , i want you to know , the only reason i clicked on this video was because MY BOY , AIRGUN ALLEY MIAMI was doing a review on your over-priced real firearm priced paintball marker !!!!
to this date , i still believe , buy the lower priced paintball markers like one of my all time favorites HDP.50 , 89 TO 109 DOLLARS , PUT IN THE PROPER FIRING PIN , 2 PIECE TUNING BARREL AND SNIPER EXTENTION , FILE AND FIT ALL INTERNALS , POLISH THOSE THAT NEED , DYE THE SLIDE BLACK FOR AESTHETICS PURPOSES ONLY , AND YOU WILL HAVE A VERY CAPABLE AND EFFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANT , "RELIABLE "LESS THAN LETHAL OPTION THATS TWO AND A HALF TIMES MORE POWERFUL ,PLUS FOR YOUR MONEY ,and of course , it may not look as nice as the byrna , but , just like so , so ,so many women i have know throughout my life , looks are definitely not always the most important thing to consider LOL !!!
i said all that to say this , i am a fair man , its always been all about the facts , and i cant wait to see yur next video on the subject matter my AWESOME BROTHER !!!!
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A SUPER NICE DAY MY FRIEND !!!! .........................
Oh man, SHE’s the reason for this channel! Once a dad I realized I needed to expand my opportunities and this is where I dove in haha 🤞🏽🤞🏽 thanks a lot my Ninja !!
@@AirgunAlley they really are the greatest joy a person can know , and you're very welcomed my Brother !!!
Awesome video, brother! 👍🏼
You and "Survival Living" have the best 2 reviews for the Byrna LE on TH-cam.
Some of these other reviewers just want to show how fast the projectiles shoot out of the LE using those little radar machines, some even want to write shit down 📝 and " 🗣blah blah blah"...🙄 man, who gives a fuck about all that! 😂
I've been wanting to see what kind of DAMAGE this thing does, Simple As That, and you got it, bro. 😀🫵🏼👍🏼💯
Damn, what The LE did to the Butternut Squash. 😬😬...
Yeah, you definitely helped me come to a decision.
I thank you.
And hey, I noticed you have alot of haters on here, wtf 🤔... maybe you should ask/challenge them to put their money where their mouth is, ask them to volunteer to take the shots for the Byrna LE review Part 2. 🤣
So here's my comment what kind of poster is that and where can I get it from
Do you mean “the deer skull on news paper”?
If so that’s not a poster, but a painting my wife made with various techniques. And she’s honored someone liked it. If that’s not the poster, than I’m not sure which one you mean….
can you now try metal, or aluminum heavier balls and compare it with your usual gun HDR 68?
Yessir! Great minds… I have all that planned indeed… stay tuned my friend 😎
Awesome Gian! Man i love CO2 launchers 😂
Thanks a lot my man! Great talking to you earlier
Hi Airgun Alley i have the same rubber /steal balls you have I they weren't working what I did was put a few drops of pellgun oil and shook them around and they work like a charm, just an idea have a good day 👍
I would like this better than hdp50 compact, I learn in hdp 50 compact with built in mags, u can't keep pulling trigger without CO2 pierced while amo loaded like if u wanted to practice trigger pulls, it bends the spring up and trigger pull becomes hard and stick becomes black part on spring starts rubbing the insides, I learned only do practice trigger pulls while not loaded.
How in gods name did you get a red one! it looks so good why is that not a standard color!
Hahaha I thought they’re common… on Amazon in the US you can get it orange…
There is actually also a greenish version as well. I’m learning to like it actually
Where did you get your Holston?
New sub here from Macabespeed.
Many thanks to you and him! Macabespeed is a true standup guy!
I see you’re a Ducati man?I don’t know if you watch MotoGP, I do every weekend, from Friday to Sunday. Big Pecco fan
where are the joules?
They’re coming I promise! Next video after this weekend’s…
So this Byrna thing outputs about 20 joules in the first shot. I'm trying to get an idea of what that means. I understand a bit about airsoft, so that's my reference point. A 0.2 gram airsoft BB fired at just over 300 fps has about 1 joule of energy upon leaving the muzzle; a 0.5 gram airsoft BB first at just under 500 fps has just under 5 joules of energy. Consider an automatic airsoft rifle firing a 30 round magazine of 0.5 gram BBs in about two seconds. I'm guessing it wouldn't be as bad as a shot or two from the Byrna, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?
Interesting clip on that gun
Just because.... I live in a colder climate.. could you do some cold tests by putting it in the freezer
I wish Byrna would provide the LE Light or something with max of 5 Joules for Germany for instance and an additional kit to upgrade it to the standard one :)
I really love your videos, I'm actually not a gun owner at all, I grew up around guns with my stepfather and my grandfather hunting so I'm not completely unexperienced, but I've been thinking about some home protection, a friend of mine recommended this brand to me, obviously I would like something pretty powerful that can protect myself and my family if need, any suggestions for just starting out something that would be good to start with? The different types of ammo to ues etc. and feel half decently safe? I would really appreciate any advice from anybody reading this. Very cool videos man I love them
Do they make any airhandguns with rifled barrels that can shoot 50cal pointed pellets like the bigbore rifles?
what is better and powerful,hdr50 11 joules or this one?
Love it!

Thank you!! 🙌🏼
Looking forward to your next vid ❤
See you on IG my friend.
Please take care in your business trip 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!! The trip is FINALLY over and I’m back home. And of course as soon I got back I filmed the video for this weekend! (Pending TH-cam’s clemency, of course)
Thank you again!
Question me being a single women I live up north. Not the winter time people wear bubble thick coats. Do you think this LE would be affective against someone wearing a thick winter coat?
Hi and good question!! There are several videos out there of people in various situations and wearing a variety of clothing, getting hit by Byrnas, I just watched one yesterday that had a compilation of these video clips… I’ll try to find the link.
The downside of Byrna is that it shoots only round projectiles VS other Revolver style models that also take more pointy ammo.
I believe thick clothing and jacket will drastically reduce the power of a round ball.
But if the situation is truly drastic, it’s best to aim towards more exposed parts…
Complimenti per il video...sono indeciso su quale pistola pcp cal.25 devo prendere 🎉
Ciao Turi! Se riesci vai per la Huben GK1. Nella descrizione del video che ho fatto sulla GK1 c’è il link a un negozio in Spagna che le vende…
Awesome video! So what do you think is the best all around weight projectile for the Byrna LE? The 2.9-3 gram Kinetics or the 3.5 gram riot balls? Not sure which to purchase. Thx!
Thanks a lot and great question! I like to alternate ammo in all my guns and magazines. Pepper balls, metal projectiles, pointy (when possible)… but to answer your question, I say the kinetic rounds by Byrna. Amazing ammo!
I don't think you should get a shotgun. I like that you're an airgun guy rather than firearms.
Thank you for this my friend! And you’re right, I’ve been debating on this. I’m actually just trying to borrow one just to make this specific video. There is no gun powder involved, so technically… I think… I guess… the shotgun in this case does not become a firearm. Anyway, it would be only for this video 😊
Legal in Canada???
Good question! Things are changing so quickly in you patch… I honestly don’t know!
It comes with an oil canister. When and how often do you need to use it?
It does! To my surprise. I think you use it at the end of every box, every 10 canisters basically
В пейнтбольном варианте производится?
I don’t think so…
just curiuos . the CO2 Cartridge(EACH one ) are meant to last for how many shots ? i am lost
No more than one or two magazines. So like 7 to 14 shots. By the time the1st magazine is empty most of the gas would be gone and it would be very weak
The only thing lacking in your intro is lighting up a Marlboro cigarette. 😂 Last time I looked the 12 gauge Byrna shotgun rounds were VERY expensive. On the other hand, if they are to be used in a home defense shotgun, one would, hopefully not need to purchase many of them and clean up after a home invasion would be easier.
Why am i not able to order it in india? What to do about it?
