The Byrna BP50 .50 caliber CO2 projectile launcher delivers reliable non-lethal force options for training and tactical applications. This yellow-marked training variant provides consistent performance with standard .50 caliber projectiles while maintaining the same operational characteristics as duty models.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional powder-actuated systems, the BP50 utilizes compressed CO2 for consistent velocity and reduced maintenance requirements. The launcher maintains accuracy across multiple shots without the heat buildup and fouling associated with gunpowder systems. Each CO2 cartridge delivers approximately 15-20 shots at effective velocities, providing reliable performance in various environmental conditions.
Key Features
- CO2-powered system eliminates need for gunpowder or primers
- Compatible with standard .50 caliber training and marking projectiles
- Yellow safety marking clearly identifies training configuration
- Consistent muzzle velocity reduces trajectory variables
- Quick-change CO2 cartridge system for rapid reloading
- Durable polymer construction withstands training use
- Ergonomic grip design accommodates various hand sizes
The BP50 maintains consistent performance across temperature ranges where traditional systems might fail. Training scenarios benefit from the reduced noise signature and elimination of spent casings. The CO2 system provides immediate readiness without warm-up periods, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor training environments. Projectile compatibility includes rubber balls, marking rounds, and training-specific ammunition.
