FAQ

Q: What is Pull-Pierce Technology?
A: Pull-Pierce Technology is Byrna's innovative CO2 system that doesn't puncture the cartridge when you insert it. Instead, the CO2 is only punctured when you pull the trigger for the first time. This allows you to store your Byrna TCR with CO2 installed and ready to fire instantly, without the weapon being under pressure. This means less maintenance, longer seal life, and no wasted CO2.

Q: Can I leave CO2 in my Byrna TCR?
A: Yes! Thanks to Pull-Pierce Technology, you should store your Byrna TCR with an unpunctured 12-gram CO2 cartridge installed. This keeps your rifle always ready for immediate use without being stored under pressure. Once you've fired and punctured the CO2, it's best to use all shots and replace with a fresh cartridge.

Q: Is the Byrna TCR legal to own?
A: Yes! The Byrna TCR is legal in all 50 states, including California, and does not require permits, licenses, or background checks. It's classified as a less-lethal self-defense weapon, not a firearm. However, always check your local laws regarding less-lethal weapons.

Q: What's the difference between the Byrna TCR and pistol launchers?
A: The TCR is a rifle platform offering superior accuracy, extended 12-round magazine capacity, adjustable stock, vertical foregrip, and quad Picatinny rails for customization. It shoots at 295 FPS (between the SD's 285 FPS and LE's 330 FPS) but provides rifle-level control and accuracy. Perfect for home defense where concealment isn't needed.

Q: How many shots can I get from one 12-gram CO2 cartridge?
A: The Byrna TCR uses 12-gram CO2 cartridges. Shot count varies based on temperature and firing rate, but you can expect similar performance to other Byrna 12-gram systems. We recommend carrying spare cartridges for extended use.

Q: What projectiles can I use with the Byrna TCR?
A: The Byrna TCR uses .68 caliber projectiles including: Pepper (OC powder), Max (pepper + tear gas combo), Kinetic (solid impact rounds), and Pro Training (inert practice rounds). All projectiles are interchangeable and available separately.

Q: Can I add accessories to the Byrna TCR?
A: Absolutely! The Byrna TCR features quad Picatinny rails (top, bottom, left, right) that are compatible with virtually any tactical accessory including red dot sights, scopes, tactical lights, laser sights, additional grips, bipods, and more. This makes the TCR the most customizable Byrna platform.

Q: Is the Byrna TCR effective for home defense?
A: The Byrna TCR is the ultimate home defense less-lethal weapon. The rifle platform provides superior accuracy and control, the 12-round magazine gives you more capacity than pistol launchers, and the 60-foot range allows you to engage threats from across large rooms. The chemical irritant projectiles incapacitate intruders without over-penetration risks.

Q: How accurate is the Byrna TCR?
A: The Byrna TCR is the most accurate Byrna platform. The rifle design with adjustable stock, vertical foregrip, and 11-inch barrel provides exceptional accuracy up to 60 feet. The folding iron sights are excellent, and you can add optics to the top Picatinny rail for even greater precision.

Q: What's included in the Byrna TCR kit?
A: The kit includes the Byrna TCR rifle, 7-round magazine, 12-round extended magazine, adjustable buttstock with cheek pad, vertical foregrip, folding sights, and quad Picatinny rails. CO2 cartridges and projectiles are sold separately.

Q: Do I need training to use the Byrna TCR?
A: While the Byrna TCR is intuitive for anyone familiar with rifles, we highly recommend practicing with Pro Training projectiles to familiarize yourself with the rifle's operation, trigger pull, accuracy, magazine changes, and CO2 cartridge replacement. The TCR's rifle platform makes it easier to shoot accurately than pistol launchers.

Q: How do I maintain my Byrna TCR?
A: Maintenance is minimal. After use, wipe down the exterior, check the barrel for debris, and store in a cool, dry place. Periodically lubricate moving parts with Byrna-approved lubricant. Always store with an unpunctured CO2 cartridge installed for maximum readiness thanks to Pull-Pierce Technology.
