ADVANTAGES OF CHEMICAL IRRITANT PROJECTILES

UNDERSTANDING MECHANICS BEHIND THE BYRNA MAX PROJECTILE

The outer shells of the Byrna Max Projectiles are intentionally engineered to be fragile. The mechanics behind the projectile is designed in such a way that it shatters on impact. The force of the impact allows the chemical irritant powder to spread quickly and saturate the air. When attackers are exposed to the Teargas and Pepper powder payload, they will experience sensory difficulties.

THE TERM CHEMICAL IRRITANTS

Chemical irritants, better known as Tear gas and Pepper powder are used to subdue violent and aggressive individuals worldwide.
Chemical irritants are materials that cause reversible inflammation or irritation to a body surface, including eyes, respiratory tract, skin or mucous membranes, upon contact.

Temporarily deter or disable individuals by producing sensory irritation.
We offer projectiles filled with PEPPER (OC), PAVA (OCII) or TEAR GAS (CS) powders.


THREAT NEUTRALIZING:

The chemical irritant projectiles provide an effective threat neutralizing option without deadly consequences. Threats can effectively be deterred, disorientated and incapacitated at stand-off distances.


NO NEED FOR LINE OF SIGHT:

• Projectiles can be shot against a hard surface in the general direction of the threat when direct line of sight is blocked.
• Chemical cloud formes on impact.
• Multiple targets can be neutralized after exposure.

SIZE AND WEIGHT:

• Accuracy - The .68cal projectiles are approximately 17mm in diameter.
• Bigger is Better - more payload compared to .50cal and .43cal projectiles.
• Consistency -The weight of a Byrna projectiles are between 2.9 - 3.1gram.

BENEFITS OF USING CHEMICAL IRRITANTS:

• No need for direct line of sight. The chemical powder cloud quickly saturates the area after impact. Therefor when irritant projectiles are shot against a hard surface in proximity of an individual hiding, it can have a direct effect.
• Multiple targets can be affected by the chemical cloud that forms.
• You can alter the direction of a violent individuals by shooting the ground in front of them. Byrna received reports of dangerous animals being deterred with chemical irritants.
