Overview

The Byrna LE Kinetic Kit is the launcher for buyers who want maximum power from a handheld non-lethal platform. It is Byrna's most powerful pistol-format .68 caliber design, driving projectiles up to 330 feet per second and holding accuracy out to 60 feet. That extra velocity translates to harder impacts and confident hits at distances where the SD starts to fall off.

Byrna redesigned the LE's trigger to be lighter and smoother than earlier models, which sharpens accuracy and speeds up follow-up shots under stress. It runs on 12g CO2 cartridges, the larger capacity that feeds the higher velocity, and the kit includes two. As with every Byrna, the LE is not a firearm: no permit, no background check, and no FFL transfer, so it ships to your door in most states.

The kit is comprehensive, with two 5-round magazines, two 12g CO2 cylinders, three 5-count tubes of kinetic projectiles, a launcher card, and a carrying case (no chemical rounds). The same legal note applies as with all chemical-projectile platforms: Pepper and Max rounds face state shipping limits (California kinetic-rounds-only; New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Washington DC restricted), and Byrna ships nothing to Hawaii or New York City, while the launcher and kinetic rounds ship almost everywhere. For the buyer who wants the most capable Byrna and will pay for it, the LE is the top of the line.
