The Byrna Kinetic 12 Gauge Less-Lethal Round, 10 Count (Byrna part no. SS61301) is a shotgun-fired kinetic round from Byrna. Byrna says the round contains no chemical payload and no gunpowder, which makes its discharge 16 times quieter than a standard shotgun round. It uses a custom clamshell and wad to keep the projectile aligned as it leaves the barrel, and patented fin-tailed technology that Byrna says supports accuracy up to 100 feet. Because there is no gunpowder, the rounds will not cycle a semi-automatic shotgun, though they can be manually cycled. A pack holds 10 rounds.
