The Byrna Kinetic 12 Gauge Round is a primer-driven, chemical-free less-lethal projectile engineered for accuracy, predictable terminal performance, and dramatically reduced report compared with traditional shotgun shells. These rounds use patented fin-tailed technology and a custom clamshell wad to ensure alignment and stability through the barrel, delivering reliable performance out to 100 feet while producing a far quieter discharge than a standard shotgun blast.

Why Choose It:

The Byrna Kinetic 12 Gauge Round is a 12 gauge, primer-only less-lethal round designed for use in cylinder bore and improved choke shotguns with chambers 3 inches or shorter. Choose these rounds when you want a non-chemical option that minimizes collateral aerosol, reduces perceived recoil, and provides consistent, accurate stopping distance for defensive or training scenarios.

Key Advantages:

• Custom clamshell wad and internal alignment features promote consistent, accurate flight.

• Patented fin-tailed design enables accuracy up to 100 feet.

• Frangible construction balances strength in the barrel with controlled fragmentation on impact.

• No gunpowder reduces muzzle report to about 117 decibels, much quieter than standard shotgun rounds.

• Primer-driven operation means these rounds contain no chemical payload.

• Almost no perceived recoil for faster follow-up shots and better shooter control.

Who It’s For:

• Responsible owners seeking a less-lethal option for home defense or property protection.
