FAQ

Q: What makes the CL-XL different from the standard Byrna CL?

A: The CL-XL features an extended barrel that increases muzzle velocity to 410 FPS (compared to 330 FPS on standard models), providing greater accuracy, range, and stopping power. This makes it ideal for users who need maximum performance from their non-lethal defense launcher.

Q: Is the Byrna CL-XL legal to own?

A: Yes! The Byrna CL-XL is legal in all 50 states and most jurisdictions worldwide. It's classified as a non-lethal self-defense tool, not a firearm, so no permits, licenses, or background checks are required in most areas. Always check your local laws for specific regulations.

Q: How many shots can I get from one CO2 cartridge?

A: Each 12g CO2 cartridge provides approximately 15-20 shots depending on temperature and firing rate. This kit includes two CO2 cartridges, giving you 30-40 shots right out of the box. Replacement CO2 cartridges are widely available at sporting goods stores.

Q: What's the difference between the 5-round and 7+1 round magazines?

A: The 5-round magazine is more compact and ideal for concealed carry or everyday carry situations. The 7+1 magazine (8 rounds total) provides higher capacity for extended defense scenarios or training sessions. Both magazines are included in this complete kit.

Q: Can I use this for home defense?

A: Absolutely! The Byrna CL-XL is an excellent home defense option. The 410 FPS velocity and .61 caliber projectiles deliver effective stopping power at indoor distances (up to 60+ feet), and the non-lethal nature means reduced liability concerns compared to firearms.

Q: What type of ammunition does the CL-XL use?

A: The CL-XL uses .61 caliber projectiles. This kit includes 15 kinetic (hard plastic) rounds for training and impact defense. You can also purchase chemical irritant rounds (pepper or tear gas) for maximum stopping power in real defense situations.

Q: How accurate is the extended barrel at distance?

A: The extended barrel significantly improves accuracy over standard models. At 30 feet, you can expect 4-6 inch groupings with practice. The 410 FPS velocity maintains trajectory better at distance, making it effective up to 60+ feet for defense applications.

Q: Do I need any training to use the Byrna CL-XL?

A: No formal training is required, but we strongly recommend practicing with the included kinetic rounds to become familiar with the launcher's operation, trigger pull, and accuracy. The included instruction manual covers all safety and operation procedures.

Q: How does Byrna's pull-pierce CO2 technology work?

A: The Byrna CL-XL features innovative pull-pierce technology that allows you to store the launcher with a CO2 cartridge installed without puncturing it. The CO2 remains unpunctured until you pull the trigger for the first time, which pierces the cartridge and makes the launcher ready to fire. This means you can always store your launcher fully loaded with a brand new, unpunctured CO2 cartridge so you're always ready when you need it. Once punctured, the CO2 will eventually leak, so it's best to use the launcher or replace the cartridge after piercing.

Q: Is the carry case TSA-approved for air travel?

A: The Byrna CL-XL can be transported in checked luggage (not carry-on) when properly secured in the included case. CO2 cartridges are generally not permitted on aircraft. Always check current TSA regulations and airline policies before traveling.
