Overview

The Byrna TCR is a Tactical Compact Rifle that combines a rifle-style design with Byrna's CO2-powered launcher technology. The platform is designed to provide improved handling and stability through a shoulder-fired configuration.

Compared to handgun-style launchers, the TCR offers greater control during operation and can provide a more stable shooting experience. Its design allows users to take advantage of a longer platform while maintaining compatibility with Byrna's .68 caliber projectiles.

The TCR also supports a variety of compatible accessories, allowing users to customize the launcher based on their preferences and intended use.

How It Works

The Byrna TCR uses a CO2-powered system to launch compatible .68 caliber projectiles. A CO2 cylinder is installed in the launcher and provides the pressure needed to propel projectiles through the barrel when fired.

The rifle-style configuration allows users to shoulder the launcher, which can improve stability and overall control during operation.
