The most capable handheld protection Byrna makes. The Byrna LE Kinetic Kit is Byrna's flagship less-lethal launcher — a CO2-powered self-defense tool that lets you stop a threat from across the room instead of up close. It gives you real stopping power and distance to protect yourself and the people around you, without the weight of a lethal decision. Compact enough to carry, simple enough to keep ready by the door, and built to train with at home, it's serious personal protection for anyone who wants more than pepper spray but doesn't want a firearm.
Why it works. The LE fires .68 caliber kinetic rounds with compressed CO2 at up to 330 feet per second, reaching a threat up to 60 feet away — enough range to create space and end a confrontation before it reaches you. A completely redesigned trigger and valve assembly give it a smoother, lighter 4–6 lb pull, and upgraded high-contrast white-dot sights help you aim fast under stress, when fine motor skills fade. Byrna's patented Pull-Pierce technology keeps the CO2 cartridge sealed and unpunctured until your very first trigger pull, so it can sit ready for years and still fire the moment you need it. About the size of a mid-sized handgun, it has a grippy honeycomb over-molded frame, an ambidextrous safe/fire switch, a Picatinny rail for a light or laser, and an updated top slide ready for the Byrna Red Dot Pro Sight.

Legal & shipping notes. The Byrna LE is not a firearm and requires no permit or background check. The launcher and its .68 caliber kinetic rounds are legal to own in all 50 states, and you must be 18 or older to purchase.
The FREE bonus Byrna Max projectiles are chemical (OC/CS) rounds, which are restricted in some places. We cannot ship the chemical Max rounds to:
- States/districts: California, New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Washington, D.C.
If you're in one of these areas, we'll ship the complete LE Kinetic Kit — launcher, magazines, CO2, and kinetic rounds — without the chemical Max bonus. California residents may qualify to receive chemical rounds by completing Byrna's CA Chemical Certification course.
City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and restrictions change — you're responsible for confirming Byrna products are legal where you live. Use it lawfully, for defense only, and store it securely away from children.
What to expect. The Byrna LE is a less-lethal defense tool — built to stop a threat while lowering the risk of a lethal outcome. Like any defensive option, it isn't risk-free or a guaranteed stop, so treat it seriously: train with it, store it securely, and use it only for lawful self-defense. It rewards practice. This kit fires .68 caliber kinetic rounds — painful blunt impact and a strong deterrent — and includes a bonus 2-pack of Byrna Max (OC/CS) chemical rounds that add a burst of pepper and tear-gas irritant on impact where they're legal to use (see shipping notes). CO2 and projectiles are consumables you'll replace as you train and carry.
