Byrna Pepper Projectiles - .68 Caliber Self-Defense Rounds

The Byrna Pepper Projectiles are the ultimate less-lethal self-defense ammunition, combining maximum stopping power with safe standoff distance. Each .68 caliber round contains a powerful blend of OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) pepper powder and PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide) synthetic pepper, creating an intense irritant cloud that incapacitates threats instantly while allowing you to maintain a safe distance.

Maximum Stopping Power - Dual Pepper Formula

Unlike single-agent rounds, Byrna Pepper Projectiles use a proprietary dual-formula combining natural OC pepper and synthetic PAVA pepper for maximum effectiveness:

• OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) - Natural pepper extract causes immediate burning sensation, eye closure, and respiratory distress
• PAVA (Synthetic Pepper) - Enhances and extends the effects, ensuring maximum incapacitation
• Instant Irritant Cloud - Upon impact, projectile bursts and releases a concentrated pepper cloud
• Area Saturation - Pepper cloud affects not just the target but the surrounding area, deterring multiple threats
• Safe Standoff Distance - Engage threats from up to 60-100 feet away depending on your launcher

Why Choose Byrna Pepper Projectiles?

Byrna Pepper rounds are the most popular choice for serious self-defense because they provide maximum stopping power without lethal force. The dual pepper formula ensures even the most determined attacker will be incapacitated, giving you time to escape and call for help. Unlike kinetic rounds that rely on impact alone, pepper projectiles create a chemical barrier that's impossible to fight through.

3. Fire - Projectile travels at 285-330 FPS depending on launcher model

6. Escape - Use the time to safely escape and call authorities

Pepper vs Max vs Kinetic - Which Round Should You Use?

Recommended Load: Most users load their launcher with pepper or max rounds for maximum stopping power, keeping kinetic rounds for training or indoor scenarios where chemical irritants aren't ideal. If you're in Wisconsin or Michigan, Pepper rounds are your best chemical option.

Safety and Legal Information:

• Always wear eye protection when handling or firing pepper projectiles
• Do not fire at face or head - aim for center mass
• Use only in self-defense situations or authorized training
• California: Chemical projectiles can only be shipped to law enforcement or licensed security guards
• New York: Chemical rounds cannot be shipped - use Kinetic projectiles instead
• Wisconsin & Michigan: Pepper rounds available; Max rounds (tear gas) not available
• Effects are temporary - no permanent injury
• Store in cool, dry place away from children
• Wash hands after handling pepper rounds

What to Expect After Firing Pepper Rounds:

After firing pepper projectiles, the target area will be saturated with irritant powder. Effects on the attacker include immediate eye closure, intense burning sensation, coughing, difficulty breathing, and complete disorientation lasting 30-45 minutes. The area may remain irritating for some time, so avoid re-entering until it has dissipated. If you're indoors, ventilate the area thoroughly.
