Summary
The correct projectile for a Byrna launcher depends on the launcher's caliber. Using the correct Byrna projectile helps ensure reliable performance, proper feeding, and safe operation.
Key Takeaways
- .68 caliber launchers require .68 caliber projectiles
- .61 caliber launchers require .61 caliber projectiles
- .68 and .61 projectiles are not interchangeable
- Byrna projectiles are recommended for all Byrna launchers
- Third-party projectiles are not recommended
- Using the wrong projectile can cause jams and performance issues
Overview
Byrna launchers are designed to operate with a specific projectile caliber. Each launcher is engineered for either .68 caliber or .61 caliber projectiles, and using the incorrect size may result in feeding problems, reduced performance, or damage to the launcher.
To achieve the best performance and reliability, Byrna recommends using projectiles designed for the specific launcher model.

Projectile Types
Byrna offers several types of projectiles, including:
Training Projectiles
Training projectiles are designed for practice and target shooting applications.
Kinetic Projectiles
Kinetic projectiles are designed to provide impact upon contact.
Chemical Projectiles
Chemical projectiles contain an irritant payload that disperses upon impact.
Always use the projectile type appropriate for the intended application and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Why Byrna Projectiles Matter
Byrna projectiles are manufactured to meet the specifications required by Byrna launchers. Using projectiles designed specifically for the launcher helps support:
- Reliable feeding
- Consistent performance
- Proper fit within magazines
- Reduced risk of malfunctions
- Improved overall operation
Risks of Third-Party Projectiles
Third-party projectiles may not meet Byrna specifications and can cause issues such as:
- Projectile breakage
- Feeding problems
- Magazine jams
- Stuck projectiles
- Reduced performance
- Potential damage to internal components
For these reasons, third-party projectiles are not recommended.
Important Considerations
- Always match the projectile caliber to the launcher caliber.
- Never use .68 caliber projectiles in a .61 caliber launcher.
- Never use .61 caliber projectiles in a .68 caliber launcher.
- Inspect projectiles before use.
- Do not use damaged or deformed projectiles.
- Avoid third-party projectiles whenever possible.
