The Byrna SD (Self Defense) is a non-lethal personal security device developed by Byrna Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:BYRN). They believe it to be the safest and most effective non-lethal self-defense weapon on the market today. Pronounced bur-nah, the Byrna HD (Home Defense) is the best-in-class CO2 powered hand held personal security device. It is a non-lethal platform using irritant pepper, tear gas and kinetic (hard plastic capable of breaking auto glass) projectiles. The Byrna HD fires 68 caliber chemical irritant projectiles filled with a highly potent cocktail of OC (pepper spray) and CS (tear gas) all in one shot. It is used by AFT, DEA, State & local law enforcement and private citizens.
The Byrna HD can effectively Deter, Disorient, and Disarm would-be attackers at standoff distances up to 60 feet. The compact design of the Byrna HD is ideal for concealed-carry and can be taken virtually anywhere.
Requiring no federal permits or federal license to purchase or carry, there are no waiting periods or background checks required to purchase and own the Byrna HD.
Byrna Technologies Inc. is a Massachusetts based company that draws on a long history of excellence in non-lethal weapons manufacturing locally and in the surrounding area. Byrna also sells less lethal munitions to the military and to law enforcement and correction agencies through its Byrna Law Enforcement Division.
The Byrna is available in a number of colors including Safety Orange. The Byrna is intended for self-defense in situations where police are not present to offer assistance and should not be drawn when police or armed security personnel are present. Byrnas are not equipped with an orange tip to identify them as toys because they are not toys, and they do not sell to anyone under 18.
The Byrna SD is powered by compressed CO2 cartridges, just like a paintball or airsoft gun.
The Byrna SD shoots .68 caliber projectiles that are filled with a powerful chemical irritant. The projectiles are designed to burst upon impact and disperse a cloud of powerful pepper and tear gas powder.
The Byrna SD is manufactured using glass-reinforced polymers and aircraft grade aluminum. It contains more than 100 precision parts, incorporating technology from both real firearms and gas-fired launchers.
They currently do not ship Byrna products to Alaska, Hawaii, New York City (5-Boroughs and Yonkers), Washington D.C., and Portland, OR. For more information see Shipping Restrictions.
