A proven less-lethal defensive round. Byrna .68 Cal Pepper Projectiles deliver a chemical-irritant payload built around a blend of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) and PAVA — which Byrna describes as one of the most powerful pepper projectiles on the market.
On impact, the projectile bursts and releases a pepper-irritant cloud. The exposure effect is fast: intense burning of the eyes and throat, coughing, and difficulty breathing — physical symptoms that typically disorient an aggressor and buy you time to get to safety.
Pepper is the mid-tier irritant round in the Byrna line — more potent than a kinetic-only round, and with fewer shipping restrictions than the stronger Max (OC + CS) round, which makes it the accessible chemical-irritant choice for most buyers.
Compatibility. These are .68 caliber rounds and work with every .68 cal Byrna launcher — the Byrna SD, Byrna LE, and Byrna Mission 4.
What's in the pack: one 5-count tube of .68 cal Byrna Pepper projectiles. A practical carry-spare or top-up quantity
Honest notes. This is a chemical-irritant round — a less-lethal defensive tool, not a toy and not risk-free. Use it lawfully, for defense only. It can't be shipped to certain states and cities — check your local law first. Store sealed, cool, and away from children, and keep a chemical-decontamination plan on hand, since an irritant cloud affects everyone nearby. Practice with training rounds so you're confident with your launcher before you ever need a defensive round.
