BYRNA MAX PROJECTILES

Our proprietary blend of pepper spray and the most powerful tear gas : OC, CS in one shot, with fast-acting incapacitating effects, superior dispersion and a higher concentration of chemical irritants than any other cartridge available on the market today, our Byrna Max projectiles are designed for maximum stopping power.

The Byrna incapacitating projectile is a non-lethal product designed to temporarily immobilise dangerous or aggressive individuals. It consists of a plastic capsule containing a mixture of OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) 1% and CS (Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile) 8%, two chemicals known for their incapacitating effect.

OC is a natural pepper extract, which causes intense pain and burning when it comes into contact with the eyes, nose and mucous membranes. CS is also an irritant, causing watery eyes, a burning sensation and coughing.

The Byrna projectile is effective at a distance of up to 12 metres. On contact with the target, the capsule shatters and the OC and CS mixture spreads through the air, releasing a cloud of incapacitating powder that invades the airways and eyes, causing immediate pain and temporary incapacitation.

It is important to note that, although the Byrna projectile is non-lethal, it can cause injury if used at too close a range or if the target has pre-existing medical conditions. It is therefore recommended that it be used only in cases of immediate danger and after assessing the situation.

While the attacker is temporarily incapacitated, it is better to flee rather than try to neutralise him/her. It is important to contact the police to deal with the situation.
