You must still take steps to protect yourself, whether you’re a student or if you live in a state/city that prohibits gun ownership. But just because you cannot carry a gun doesn’t mean that you can’t take defensive measures. Pepper ball launchers like the Byrna EP Launcher are a good option for long-range use. The Byrna Ep Launcher Features a glass-filled Nylon receiver in black/orange, or all-black. It also includes stainless-steel and aluminum internals for long-lasting use. The Launcher is comparable to most concealed carry guns with an overall length and height of 7.28 inches. It also has a width of 1 inch. It is also the same weight at 1.3 lbs loaded as the Springfield Hellcat Pro. The Launcher has a magazine-fed capacity of five rounds of round ball.68 caliber. A ball indicator will alert you when a cartridge is in the chamber. This is because unlike the SD Launcher, the EP Launcher has no manual safety mechanism. A safety mechanism on the inside prevents accidental hammer hits. The grip is covered with a honeycomb-textured rubber to ensure a secure hold during a fire course. The squared trigger guard allows for ample room even when wearing gloves. A Picatinny rail with three slots is located just forward of the trigger guard. This rail can be used to attach a laser, light, or other accessories. The 8-gram cartridge can be loaded through the front of this pistol. It provides 25 shots per cartridge. The Launcher uses patented Pull-Pierce Technology to prevent pressure loss when stored for a long time. You can store your cartridge after loading it. When it’s time to shoot, your first shot will pierce the cartridge and fire the shot. The Launcher accepts Byrna ammunition, including Byrna Pepper, Byrna Max, Byrna Pro-Training, Byrna Kinetic, and Byrna Eco-Kinetic. The balls launch at a speed of 265 fps and can reach a distance up to 60 feet. The Max and Pepper balls create a 5 foot dispersion cloud upon impact. Editor’s note: This is a pepperball launcher and you do not require a concealed carry license or background check to buy or carry. This is a great option for those who live in restricted areas such as New York City or college campuses. They are also perfect for those who don’t want to use lethal options, but still wish to defend themselves. You can use any combination of these cartridges to create a more robust defense plan. Start with a Byrna Max (9% OC/CS) round and then add a few Byrna Kinetics. The first shot will create a disorienting cloud of pepper, and the subsequent shots will provide a painful deterrent.
