LE BASIC

Byrna LE Launcher | .68 Cal | High-Performance Personal Defence Device
The Byrna LE Launcher represents the highest-performance handheld launcher in the Byrna range. Designed for users who demand greater control, smoother operation and professional-grade refinement, the LE combines powerful CO₂-driven performance with improved ergonomics and enhanced sighting in a compact, easy-to-handle platform.

Built on Byrna’s proven less-lethal technology, the LE is ideal for responsible personal defence where reliability, accuracy and readiness matter most.

Powered by standard 12 g CO₂ cartridges, the Byrna LE delivers consistent velocity and dependable shot-to-shot performance. With an effective engagement distance of up to 24 metres, it offers confident reach while remaining controllable and intuitive to operate.

The launcher supports up to 30 rounds per new 12 g CO₂ cartridge (usage dependent), making it well suited for both defensive readiness and training use without frequent cartridge changes.

Key performance highlights: 

.68 calibre projectile platform
Approximate muzzle velocity of 100 m/s (340 fps) on initial shots
Energy output of approximately 15.2 joules (manufacturer data)
5-round detachable magazine

The Byrna LE features a high-impact polymer frame with a honeycomb over-moulded grip, providing a secure, comfortable hold even under stress. Its balanced weight and compact dimensions allow for stable handling and reduced fatigue during extended use.

A redesigned straight trigger delivers a smoother, more predictable pull, enhancing control and shot placement. The ambidextrous safety ensures easy operation for both left- and right-handed users.

The Byrna LE incorporates several features designed to enhance safe handling and readiness:

Ambidextrous safety selector
Loaded-chamber indicator for visual confirmation of status
Patented Pull-Pierce Technology, which keeps the CO₂ cartridge unpunctured until the first trigger pull, allowing the launcher to be stored ready without gas loss
