Byrna HD Compatible Projectiles

Summary

The Byrna HD is designed to use .68 caliber Byrna projectiles exclusively. Using Byrna-approved ammunition helps ensure reliable performance, proper feeding, and safe operation of this legacy launcher.

Key Takeaways

• Uses .68 caliber projectiles only
• .61 caliber projectiles are not compatible
• Supports Training, Eco Kinetic, Kinetic, Pepper, and Max projectiles
• Kinetic projectiles are reusable for practice sessions
• Eco Kinetic projectiles dissolve when exposed to water and moisture
• Compatibility is the same as the Byrna SD
• Only Byrna-approved projectiles should be used

Overview

The Byrna HD is engineered around Byrna's .68 caliber projectile platform. Whether you are training, practicing marksmanship, or preparing for personal security applications, selecting the correct projectile type is important for consistent operation and accuracy. Because the Byrna HD shares projectile compatibility with the Byrna SD, owners can continue sourcing the same approved ammunition despite the HD model being discontinued.

Compatible Projectiles

The Byrna HD is compatible with all Byrna .68 caliber projectiles, including:

Training Projectiles

Training rounds contain an inert powder and are intended for target practice and familiarization training.

Eco Kinetic Projectiles

Eco Kinetic projectiles are designed to break down when exposed to moisture, making cleanup easier during outdoor training sessions.

Kinetic Projectiles

Kinetic projectiles are solid impact rounds that can often be recovered and reused when fired in appropriate training environments.

Pepper Projectiles

Pepper projectiles contain an irritant payload intended for personal security applications.

Max Projectiles

Max projectiles contain a blend of pepper irritant and tear gas compounds for enhanced effectiveness.

Incompatible Projectiles

The following should not be used in the Byrna HD:

• .61 caliber projectiles
• Third-party projectiles not approved by Byrna

Using incompatible ammunition may result in feeding issues, reduced performance, jams, or potential damage to the launcher.

Important Considerations

• Always verify that projectiles are .68 caliber before use.
• Use only Byrna-approved ammunition for best reliability.
• Avoid mixing incompatible projectile types or calibers.
• Byrna HD owners can follow the same projectile compatibility guidelines as Byrna SD owners.
