It contains more than 100 precision parts, incorporating technology from both real firearms and gas-fired launchers.

Byrna® CO2 cartridges have a virtually indefinite shelf life. The cartridge is not pierced until the trigger is pulled so you can always keep an un-punctured CO2 cartridge in your Byrna HD to maximize its utility for self-defense. The Byrna HD incorporates puncture technology to allow it to fire on the first trigger pull. We recommend loading a new CO2 cartridge after every sustained use of the Byrna HD because once the cartridge is punctured CO2 will leak out over a 24-hour period.

How many projectiles can I fire on a CO2 Cartridge?

A single Byrna® CO2 cartridge may fire up to 20 projectiles before a noticeable degradation in velocity, but we recommend replacing the CO2 cartridge after 2 magazines for maximum performance.

Non-Byrna® rounds may break inside the magazine or barrel or get stuck and void your warranty.
