Byrna Max Projectiles - Ultimate .68 Caliber Defense Rounds (OC Pepper + CS Tear Gas)
The Byrna Max Projectiles are the ultimate less-lethal self-defense ammunition, combining maximum stopping power with the most aggressive chemical formula available. Each .68 caliber round contains a powerful triple-threat blend of OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) pepper, PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide) synthetic pepper, AND CS tear gas, creating an overwhelming irritant cloud that incapacitates even the most determined threats instantly.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS:

Maximum Stopping Power - Triple Chemical Formula
Byrna Max Projectiles represent the pinnacle of less-lethal ammunition technology. Unlike standard pepper rounds, Max projectiles combine THREE powerful chemical agents for overwhelming incapacitation:
- OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) - Natural pepper extract causes immediate burning sensation, eye closure, and respiratory distress
- PAVA (Synthetic Pepper) - Enhances and extends the pepper effects for maximum duration
- CS Tear Gas - Military-grade tear gas adds intense eye irritation, uncontrollable tearing, and complete disorientation
- Massive Irritant Cloud - Upon impact, projectile bursts and releases a concentrated chemical cloud
- Area Saturation - Chemical cloud affects not just the target but the entire surrounding area, deterring multiple threats
- Safe Standoff Distance - Engage threats from up to 60-100 feet away depending on your launcher
Why Choose Byrna Max Projectiles?
Byrna Max rounds are the choice for those who demand absolute maximum stopping power. The triple chemical formula (OC + PAVA + CS tear gas) ensures even the most aggressive or determined attacker will be completely incapacitated.

Max vs Pepper vs Kinetic - Which Round Should You Use?
| Round Type | Best For | Effect | Shipping Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max | Ultimate defense, multiple threats, extreme situations, maximum stopping power | OC + PAVA + CS tear gas, overwhelming area saturation | 46 states (not NY, WI, MI; CA: LE/licensed security only) |
| Pepper | Serious threats, outdoor use, standard self-defense | OC + PAVA pepper cloud, immediate incapacitation | 48 states (not NY; CA: LE/licensed security only; WI/MI available) |
| Kinetic | Indoor use, training, impact-only defense, restricted states | Solid impact, no chemical irritant, less cleanup | All 50 states |
Recommended Load: Max projectiles are the ultimate choice for serious self-defense when you need guaranteed stopping power. Many users load Max rounds for outdoor defense scenarios or when facing multiple threats. For indoor use or restricted states, consider Pepper or Kinetic rounds.
Max vs Pepper - What's the Difference?
Both are excellent chemical defense rounds, but Max takes it to the next level:
- Pepper: OC + PAVA pepper formula - excellent stopping power, immediate incapacitation
- Max: OC + PAVA + CS tear gas - ultimate stopping power, overwhelming incapacitation, greater area saturation
Max rounds add military-grade CS tear gas to the pepper formula, creating an even more intense and overwhelming effect. The tear gas component causes uncontrollable tearing and additional respiratory distress beyond what pepper alone provides. Choose Max when you need absolute maximum stopping power.
Safety and Legal Information:
- Always wear eye protection when handling or firing Max projectiles
- Do not fire at face or head - aim for center mass
- Use only in self-defense situations or authorized training
- California: Chemical projectiles can only be shipped to law enforcement or licensed security guards
- New York: Chemical rounds cannot be shipped - use Kinetic projectiles instead
- Wisconsin & Michigan: Max rounds (tear gas) cannot be shipped - use Pepper or Kinetic rounds instead
- Effects are temporary - no permanent injury
- Store in cool, dry place away from children
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling Max rounds
- Avoid using indoors unless absolutely necessary - chemical cloud is very intense
What to Expect After Firing Max Rounds:
After firing Max projectiles, the target area will be heavily saturated with chemical irritant powder and tear gas. Effects on the attacker include immediate eye closure, uncontrollable tearing, intense burning sensation, severe coughing, difficulty breathing, and complete disorientation lasting 30-45 minutes. The area will remain highly irritating for an extended period. If used indoors, the space will require extensive ventilation. Anyone entering the area will be affected by residual chemicals. This is the most powerful less-lethal ammunition available.

Let customers speak for us
About our recent in-store purchase.... We were very pleased with the store's personnel who took the time to explain procedures and various products and allowed us to experience firing the launcher. UNGUNN has an extensive and comprehensive selection of self defense products and a visit here is highy recommended - even if you're not sure whether or not any of these options are for you. There was no pressure to buy anything and we are happy with what we selected.
I have guns but just the feeling of A non-lethal way it’s amazing and less headaches
If your looking for a airgun that looks real and has good range and a wide variety of round options, then this airgun is perfect. Its loud like a real gun as well so you can even scare off an intruder with just the sound. I'm definitely recommending this to all my family and friends.
I think it's an excellent product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a non lethal alternative to self defense. I've been practicing the kinetic rounds have an unbelievable impact. That alone would take the fight out of most people
Very excited about this purchase. Great quality product. this is a very solid, and very powerful non-letha gun, my wife and I feel safer walking to the park with our son knowing that we can defend ourselves. Customer service was amazing I place my order in 10 minutes I got an email saying that order was ready for pickup.
Tested on Corrugated boxes and went through , tested on 1/4 inch wood and almost went through. I love it
This thing is no joke!!! After testing it in my garage, i feel that it is a viable carry option...and i don't just trust any bullshit gimmick when my life is on the line. After witnessing what the solid projectiles did to the piece of particle board i was using as a backstop??? You can officially label me a "byrna believer". I will be buying a few more in future weeks.
Great product and well made.
The SD feels so comfortable in my hand, I was surprised, even though in didn't exactly know what to expect, on how fast the projectiles move. I plan on more practice soon. Very happy.
My husband and I bought 2 Byrna SD Kinetic kits. He received the black one and I got the pink one. They are similar in feel to a real pistol and are a great option for non lethal self defense. We also purchased lasers, Byrna Max projectiles and holsters. This is a great addition to my arsenal of tasers, batons and pepper spray cans. We live in a suburb of Seattle and have encountered individuals breaking into our automobiles and trying to enter our home. This will be a great deterrent to these encounters in the future. The Byrna launcher is easy to use and maintain and my 85 years young mother loves to practice shoot with it! Get one. It's a great tool for deterring bad situations. I prefer not to own a lethal weapon and this is a viable alternative. Several law enforcement officers have given me positive feedback on these launchers.
Works great. As far as personal protection devices go, I highly recommend the device. My job requires me to travel to many different places throughout the day and it’s nice knowing that I have a non lethal option to protect myself. I have nothing against carrying a lethal option, however most cases that people encounter where they feel threatened can be resolved with a show of force and if necessary, a powerful non lethal option without loss of life.
Perfect for keeping supplies secure, tidy, and organized!
Although I also have the Byrna sling bag for everyday carry (which holds 4 CO2 and 2 tubes of balls), I needed the right product to keep the extra pepper ball tubes and CO2 cartridges handy at home or in reserve.
Byrna offered a great deal on this case at the time of this second purchase.
After I had received my Everyday Carry Starter kit in my first Byrna purchase, I realized that I need more pepper balls, but maybe not yet a whole bottle like the kinetic projectiles.
As a side note, I put sight dots on the Byrna launcher to help in less-than-optimal light conditions, like if I am target shooting in the wetlands outside the boundaries of my apartment complex.
This thing is amazing! I plan to purchase another one!
This seems like a great self defense option, especially with the Live X grade PepperBalls. It packs a big punch and after shooting a post from 30-35? away with a regular strength PepperBall, I walked up to it and immediately had some effects from the PepperBall. I am loading up with the LiveX ones that are 10x strength and feel confident in the device to provide me adequate protection.
This was a great deal. The bag is really nice and at a great deal it self.
