Byrna Mission 4 Overview

Summary

The Byrna Mission 4 is the largest launcher platform in the Byrna lineup, built for users seeking maximum capacity, extended operating time, and increased effective range. It utilizes an 88-gram CO2 cylinder and dual 19-round magazines, providing a total ammunition capacity of 38 rounds.

What Is the Byrna Mission 4?

The Byrna Mission 4 is designed as a high-capacity less-lethal launcher that emphasizes sustained performance and reduced reloading frequency. Compared to other Byrna launchers, it features a larger platform capable of supporting a larger CO2 source and significantly greater ammunition capacity.

The launcher is powered by an 88-gram CO2 cylinder that threads into the rear of the unit. This larger gas supply helps maintain consistent performance during extended use and contributes to an effective range of approximately 100 feet.

Key Features

Large-Capacity CO2 System

The Mission 4 uses an 88-gram CO2 cylinder installed at the rear of the launcher. This larger cylinder provides more available gas than smaller CO2 systems, supporting longer operating sessions before replacement is needed.

Dual 19-Round Magazines

The launcher is equipped with two coupled magazines that each hold 19 rounds, giving the Mission 4 a total capacity of 38 rounds. This design reduces interruptions caused by frequent reloads and supports extended operation.

Extended Effective Range

The Mission 4 offers an effective range of approximately 100 feet, making it one of the longer-range launcher options in the Byrna product lineup.

.68 Caliber Compatibility

The launcher is designed exclusively for .68 caliber Byrna projectiles and is not compatible with other ammunition sizes.

How the Mission 4 Works

Operating the Mission 4 involves four basic steps:

1. Install an 88-gram CO2 cylinder into the rear of the launcher.
2. Load .68 caliber projectiles into both 19-round magazines.
3. Secure the coupled magazines in the launcher.
4. Operate the launcher using CO2 propulsion.
