After attempting to repair my Byrna myself I received a call from Byrna offering to repair it! It is under warranty but wanted to try on my own first! This video covers my 2nd attempt to repair and some test shooting!
Byrna seems to be a stand up company. Any self defense product can fail. That's why it's best to really test them thoroughly after receiving them. If they perform well for a few hundred shots then you didn't get a lemon. Never just buy and put it away in a drawer thinking it's going to defend you. Whether a firearm or launcher, they need a little inspection and lubing from the get go. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
(Translated by Google) From 🇵🇹 Portugal 🇵🇹 a big hug it's true what you say we should never buy a gun and simply put it in a drawer.... My experience with CO2 weapons called Home defense is with guns give Umarex, I have the Umarex T4E HDR 50, Umarex T4E HDP 50, in caliber 68 I have the Umarex T4E HDR 68 and the Umarex T4E HDS 68... The prices that are charged here in Europe for Bryan material are quite high. For example, on the French website cnde I can buy a complete defense package (they come in that case) Byrna SD XL by 605 EUR and Umarex T4E HDR cal 68 136 EUR and spheres of pepper gas... It's true that in the revolver everything we managed to put in the drum always came out.... Do a test of Umarex material against Byrna material... Go to your channel... 💪
(Translated by Google Translate) Is this huge difference in values between the Bryan material and the Umarex material justified, after all, the Umarex material still has the possibility of changing the power easily (there is specific material for sale to change the power) which in the case of the Umarex T4E HDR cal. 68 come from the factory and always fire more than 16 Joules of power...
@@user-dk4bk5rn7n I definitely agree that the revolvers will fire anything shaped and they are a lot more fun. But to me they are just too big to carry around easily. Luckily there are so many good options that no one should be without at least 2 good choices. Looking forward to seeing you over at SC TV! Be safe.
Congrats on the repair. Couldn’t have done it better myself. This video will be great reference for anyone who experiences a similar issue. I do appreciate that these manufacturers watch our RU-vid videos. It tells me they are looking out to make improvements to their products or quality control. Issues are prevalent across all platforms and all manufacturers, no one is perfect. Look forward to the side by side comparison.
Thank you for all your very helpful videos and the loctite tip! I think it is exceptional they reached out to me when they saw their oversight when building the launcher it really shows they are committed to customer service and quality control. Please keep putting out these awesome videos you never know who your helping!!!
Thanks for the update. I appreciate that Byrna took appropriate action to resolve the issue. It appears their manufacturing and QA could stand some improvements.
Glad Byrna stood behind the product. I have the same LE configuration you have with the Mercy-Iess-Lethal barrel and extension. I really like your kinetic ball trap. Could you elaborate on its design. Seems to be very efficient. I'd like to copy your design with your approval of course. Small, compact, and to the point!
My trap is actually a half ass design 😂. I purchased a heavy plastic storage tote from Lowes and spray glued a 3” piece of foam to the bottom. I have several layer of fabric screwed in with hex head screws to a board, I drilled holes on the sides and top of the tote to screw the board to the tote.The tote just free stands but I have shot right through it several times so you have to make sure you gave a strong background. Definitely less than ideal!
Thanks to you for the video's and a big shout out to Byrna for their customer service and standing behind their product. Have purchased a SD up here in Canada... about the only thing considered legal. dan h
Hopefully moving forward this will be done at tge factory by Byrna. It seems as though this is a common problem that has been creeping up more and more. I wont say its an essy fix, but its an easy solution. Thanks for putting the time into showing us.
I'm afraid to buy a byrna just because it cost to much to take a risk, I seen umarex have there issues too but I rather spend 1 hundred to $200 then 3 to $500, I bought 4 air guns over time so far, 2 from mercury rise, 1 umarex compact which is the weakest and a streetwise heat wave, all 50 cal, I had to test them each time I got one to make sure it didn't leak or jam otherwise which ever one failed I'll send back!
I actually had to send mine back for a different reason.. the gun would not hold air after shooting some max projectiles. Than it was pissing all of the c02 air out the on all the next times that I tried to try. So sent it back & they told me that it was an internal valve misalignment & sent it back. Since I've got it back the velocity has dropped significantly and when I looked down the barrel I see a blue type of valve at the very back of the launcher anyone with this experience? Should I send it back again? Because this thing says on the website it has better numbers than the TCR yet I'm getting 40 jewels on an extended clip with my TCR consistently using all types of aluminum, rubber steel, and other ride balls all tax drivers!
I ended up having to send my LE back because of loosing air also so I will be interested on what type of power it will have after the repair, I know others here have noticed a drop of fps after repair too. My TCR only offer 20 jewels after cranking up the volume all the way up! If you are getting 40 that is amazing! Thanks for dropping by!
Well I was using 8gm riot balls getting close to 4oofps on the chronograph... So if my calculations are correct it should be getting around 40. Or @ least in the high 3o's
After the second repair I sent it back because the chrony numbers were very low and then they decided to send me a new one which had much better fps than my original when new but it was short lived (2 days) and it blew the valve seal. I returned it and was fixed and sent back however the first shot is around 400 fps and then the fps drops 100 fps on the second and then levels out to the same as my SD. If you scroll my recent videos you will see the LE is a shit show! You are very correct when you say the SD is a beast, it is a solid performer!
