BYRNA LE • NYLON vs ALUMINUM vs RUBBER-STEEL AMMO

Airgun Alley

161,178 views

Welcome to Airgun Alley’s second video about Byrna, a powerful .68 caliber launcher that global brand Byrna markets around the world as a "less-lethal" form of home/self defense.

Today we’ll have a good look at a variety of solid ammo: Byrna’s hard plastic Kinetic Projectiles + light weight aluminum balls + the famous Rubbe-Steel balls by Acil Selling - with the new Byrna LE (Law Enforcement) 16+ joules launcher.

We put the plastic, aluminum and rubber-steel rounds through the chronograph to calculate the speed of the projectiles in FPS and ultimately their power in Joules... (easier written than done, as you'll see.)

We then turn against the coconut and finally we shoot a very, very, very (I think 20%) ballistic gel T-Rex, kindly provided by Clear Ballistics.

Will all the ammo work in this world famous powerful CO2 launcher? And how powerful are them shots? Click play and enjoy this MUST WATCH video!

PS The low light really ruined some key readings due to low light ERR messages. I was in a rush against the incumbent looming storms and sunlight was a disappearing luxury during this shoot.
I will be putting this gun through the chronograph a lot....

Byrna LE + Aluminum Balls.....
A Winning Combination !!!

@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv 2 years ago

Precisely the kind of video I was looking for before buying more balls

@bretthighbee 3 years ago

Great video. You playing like a Barney Fife cop in the beginning is hilarious. I had the same issue with the rubber/steel balls sticking in the seven-round magazine and had to carefully pry them out with a flat-tipped screwdriver. I was able to get them to work using a five-round one from my SD because of the way the balls sit in the magazine straight up and down instead of staggered as the seven-round has.

T-rex: 1
I-pad: 0

Looking forward to the rematch. LOL

@airgunballistics1779 2 years ago

I always thought burna was a very corny type of launcher because they were so weak but with this one having a higher power that's very impressive now! nice video Gian!

@jeffw6692 1 year ago

Note to self, the Byrna gun is not sufficient for hunting for T-Rex.

@papaparodox0384 2 years ago

Definitely putting the first 2 of the aluminum balls in the rest pepper

@airgunballistics1779 2 years ago

For me reliability is key; thats why I i prefer the TR 50..

@mikeogden5256 1 year ago

OK, this marketing has been around so long and it’s so good. I’m gonna end up buying one of these things just to have it.

You should try the Sabre, darn near same performance at 1/4 of the price.

I recently purchased the LE. I have it for work (I run a small security company), and use it as an alternate carry on days I'm running errands here in commie SoCal where I know I won't be able to carry my firearm (lucky enough to have a CCW here). So far, I'm loving it. I had an interaction with security at a venue recently, where firearms were prohibited, but I would be allowed to have something like a can of pepper spray, or a pocket knife. The looks on their faces when their supervisor googled the laws around non-lethal launcher/spray devices, and had to sgree that even if they didn't like it, I was allowed to do it, was absolutely golden. I was gracious and polite about it, but it was nice to finally have a solid defense tool I can take basically everywhere legally, and people here kinda have to suck a fat one, learning that it's literally just a can of pepper spray on paper.

My ONLY complaint is the difference in consistency across different ammo types.

Also, I know that the only reason I'm allowed to carry pepperball ammo here in CA is because I have all of my state security certifications and licenses.

@avisser5345 2 years ago

Thanks for the tip on making the first round more powerful. I'm more interested in the chemical deterrent rounds, they seem more capable of slowing someone down. Thanks for the video.

Another great video my friend! A few thing I've found about byrna, heavier projectiles affect the feeding as well as continually "ghost loading " an extra round. I carried my SD with 6 Canada riot balls for about a month or two. When I went to practice I found that they didn't want to feed reliably. I dissambled the mag, lightly stretched the spring, and all was good. Since I've gone back to byrnas kinetic round with 5 in the mag. P.S. If I could get down there I'd volunteer for the pepper tests!
