Byrna CL XL Features & Specifications

Summary

The Byrna CL XL delivers enhanced power and efficiency in a compact, lightweight platform. It is designed for consistent performance, reliable shot capacity, and effective energy output.

How It Works

The Byrna CL XL operates using a standard 12g CO2 cylinder to generate the pressure required to fire projectiles.

Key operational characteristics include:

• Higher CO2 capacity enables increased velocity
• Stable pressure improves performance in the first several shots
• Efficient system design allows multiple shots per cylinder
• Tuned energy output supports effective impact and deterrence

Compatibility

• CO2 Type: 12g CO2 cylinder
• Projectile Type: 0.61 caliber Byrna projectiles

Use Cases

• Training: Consistent velocity supports repeated drills and practice
• Everyday Carry: Lightweight and compact for easy handling
• Personal Defense: Higher energy output provides effective deterrent capability

Important Considerations

• Velocity will decrease as the CO2 cylinder is depleted
• Peak performance occurs during the initial shots
• Total shot count can vary depending on conditions and usage
• Only Byrna-approved CO2 cylinders and projectiles should be used
• Environmental factors may influence velocity and shot consistency

Specifications

• Velocity: Up to 410 FPS, 370 FPS average for the first 5 shots
• Shot Capacity: Up to 17 shots per CO2 cylinder
• Weight: 0.83 pounds
• Energy: 12.1 Joules
• Energy Density: 42.3 Joules per square inch

FAQs
