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

How Byrna Max Projectiles Work:

1. Load - Insert Max projectiles into your Byrna launcher magazine
2. Aim - Target center mass of the threat from safe distance
3. Fire - Projectile travels at 285-330 FPS depending on launcher model
4. Impact - Round bursts on contact, releasing concentrated chemical cloud
5. Incapacitation - Attacker experiences immediate eye closure, uncontrollable tearing, intense burning, coughing, and complete disorientation
6. Area Effect - Chemical cloud saturates surrounding area, affecting multiple threats
7. Escape - Use the time to safely escape and call authorities

Max vs Pepper vs Kinetic - Which Round Should You Use?

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.
