Byrna's Stocking Stuffers: Banshee, BGR, Duo

You know Byrna makes more than just the most popular less-lethal launchers on the market, right? Byrna’s Bad Guy Repellent, the Burna Banshee, and the newly released Byrna Duo are actually some of our most popular products for self-defense. Here are a few pro tips on how you can incorporate these tools into your everyday life:

Byrna’s Bad Guy Repellent is the hottest and most effective chemical agent spray on the market, with its mix of both pepper and CS (tear gas) ingredients. The 2 oz size cans are great for stashing in places you frequent, like your car, next to your front door, or in an office drawer. The smaller canisters are great for on-the-go use, ensuring you always have it when you need it. The BGR has great range, so use this to your advantage and deploy it at your attacker before they close the distance.

It’s been proven that there is safety in numbers, and nothing gets people’s attention like the Banshee’s 130 dB alarm. The Byrna Banshee is compact enough to be carried anywhere and serves as a great initial deterrent when someone seems like they might be up to no good. Pro tip: have the Banshee already connected to a bag or belt loop. That way, if you need it in a hurry, it only takes one hand and a quick tug to activate.

Due to the popularity of the BGR and the Banshee, Byrna developed the Duo as a way to combine both devices into a reloadable, easily carriable, and deployable asset. Now, with one hand, you can both activate the alarm and deploy Byrna’s Bad Guy Repellent within seconds. The great part about the Duo is that it comes with an inert, water-based can of BGR that’s meant specifically for training. This gives you the opportunity to see how the spray is deployed and lets you practice hitting your target, giving you a huge advantage over other chemical agent sprays.

Byrna is all about providing you with self-defense options that fit into your lifestyle. Byrna’s BGR, Banshee, and Duo are just some examples of how Byrna gives you the tools to ensure that, if the time comes, you are prepared to defend yourself.
