Blind Testing Byrna's Kinetic Projectiles: Hear the Pro's Perspective

In the realm of non-lethal defense, precision and effectiveness are paramount. To put our latest innovations to the test, we enlisted the expertise of three Texas Special Response Police officers. Their mission: to blind test the impact and pain level of two distinct kinetic projectiles—the 0.61 caliber kinetic round from the all-new Byrna Compact Launcher and the 0.68 caliber kinetic round from our most powerful launcher, the Byrna LE.

The Test

The officers, familiar with Byrna and other less-lethal products, were all positioned at a controlled distance. Without knowing which launcher was being used, they experienced the impact of both projectiles. This blind test was designed to eliminate any bias and ensure an objective assessment of each round's effectiveness.

The Results

Remarkably, the officers were unable to distinguish between the two projectiles based on impact and pain level alone. Despite the difference in caliber size, the 0.61 caliber kinetic round from the Byrna Compact Launcher demonstrated impressive power. All three officers unanimously agreed that it hit with more than enough force to deter a threat.

Implications for Non-Lethal Defense

These findings underscore the reliability and potency of Byrna's kinetic projectiles, regardless of projectile size. The Byrna Compact Launcher, with its smaller 0.61 caliber round, offers a lightweight and easily to conceal option without compromising on stopping power.

Conclusion

The blind test conducted by the Texas Special Response Police officers highlights the effectiveness of Byrna's non-lethal defense solutions. Whether opting for the compact convenience of the Byrna Compact Launcher or the formidable power of the Byrna LE, users can trust in the ability of these launchers to provide reliable protection in critical situations.

Byrna remains committed to advancing non-lethal defense technology, ensuring that safety and security are accessible to all. Stay tuned for more updates and innovations from Byrna as we continue to push the boundaries of personal defense.
