Description

Byrna CL Launcher | .61 Cal | Compact Protection Device with White Dot Sights

Performance & Capability

Despite its compact size, the Byrna CL delivers standout performance with high muzzle velocity and effective range — ideal for short-to-medium engagement distances where concealability and responsiveness matter most.

Key Performance highlights:

  • Round size: .61 calibre projectiles
  • Magazine capacity: 5 rounds
  • Effective range: ≈ 18 m (60 ft)
  • Muzzle velocity: ≈ 122 m/s (400 fps) at room temperature
  • Energy output: ≈ 12 joules (based on manufacturer data)
  • Shot capacity per cartridge: ≈ 15 rounds per 8 g CO₂ cartridge
  • Power source: 8-gram CO₂ cartridges

This combination of velocity and range gives you confidence in close-to-mid-range engagements while maintaining the portability that makes the CL unique.

Design & Comfort

The Byrna CL is built for comfort and concealment. Its compact form factor significantly trims overall size compared with larger launchers, making it ideal for personal carry without bulk.

The grip and balance are optimised for confident handling in varied situations, whether holstered, in a bag or at the ready. The streamlined frame ensures intuitive handling and a stable shooting platform despite the launcher’s small footprint.

Target Acquisition & Accessory Support

Quick target acquisition is supported by enhanced fibre-optic sights (on kits that include them) or your choice of compact optics using the universal red-dot-ready mounting pattern.

The built-in Picatinny rail gives you flexibility to attach lights, lasers or other compatible accessories (sold separately), helping you tailor the CL to your specific needs.

Safety & Readiness Features

The Byrna CL is designed with practical readiness and simple operation in mind:

  • Pull-Pierce CO₂ Technology: CO₂ cartridge remains unpunctured until the first trigger pull, preserving gas and keeping the launcher ready.
  • Loaded-chamber indicator: Provides visual confirmation of a round in place.
    (Note: some CL configurations may not include an external safety lever; always follow safe handling practices.)
