    Outstanding demonstration between Byrna's LE and Salt Supply's new S2. I had the very same experience with my LE, so I also purchased the S2 during the Shot Show 2024. S2 extremely consistent output between 15-20 joules. With the exception of the LE's first shot, the S2 blows it away. I still own the HDXL and SD. They are both consistent at around 10 joules. I like the SD because it's easily concealable to carry, especially at S.O.B. (small-of-back.) Whoever designs a launcher the size of an SD (or smaller,) that shoots consistently between 15-20 joules will dominate this market. Your excellent demonstrate is proof positive!!

    Really consistent first 8 shots! Thank you for posting this and how many shots you get before running out of CO2. They (Salt Supply) seem to have figured out optimizing the power. Prior to the repair were the two launchers comparable for the first 8 shots?

    • @airgunnerreviews7888
      @airgunnerreviews7888  4 місяці тому +6

      12 shots gets you down to 180 fps and that pretty much is it! The LE is advertised to have a 7 shot average of 340 fps and it is capable of hitting that mark when new but the first few shots are always high fps and drops. This test shows the S2 had a 7 shot average of 364 and a 10 shot average of 350. It is very consistent!

  • @conciergemd07
    @conciergemd07 4 місяці тому +8

    Excellent comparison video! For Byrna to be charging $479 for a “professional” launcher that gives subpar numbers is ridiculous! Sounds like that high markup is really going to pay for their advertising. There are only 2 things I like about the Byrna, and that’s the “point and shoot” technology, and it’s a little more compact. The pushing the button on the bottom may not always be ideal when carrying outside the home. That is where the Byrna has a huge advantage. However, in the home I see the Salt Supply along with a modified HDR and HDP 50 being my “go to” launchers.

    I won’t address the power of the Byrna, but long story short, I have had reliability problems with the LE, and the SD. It’s been frustrating sending these models back for repairs.
    Byrna’s customer service has been good, I will say that. But my confidence is shaky right now. Hopefully this latest repair will hold.
    The bad guy could be carrying a firearm, so consistency is crucial.

    Thank you for the test you did on the BYRNA vs SALT. I thought it was very methodical and the way testing should be done. I bought a BYRNA LE a couple of months ago and am very happy with it. However I don't have the Chronographs to do what you did. Because of your test I bought a SALT and anxiously waiting for it. There is one thing I haven't found anyone has done, and that is test Kinetic rounds. For example, You have the BYRNA rounds that measure .6845" which has about .006" clearance in the bore of the BYRNA. Amazon has a very nice Kinetic round that measures .6785". My curiosity is, does the smaller Amazon round affect the FPS a lot or a little or at all. Having more clearance in the bore theoretically should lessen the FPS. But no one knows how much or how little. Would you consider testing these two rounds? The cost difference between the BYRNA and Amazon are quite significant! Thank you in advance for your answer!

  • @Cptmoore
    @Cptmoore 11 днів тому +1

    I'm curious how much less powerful the "repaired" byrna LE is compared to a new one.
    Also has the Salt ever been repaired? This could also effect the test.
    Also did you fire the byrnas first shot with the CO2 cartridge pre-pierced with the safety on or did you fire the first shot without doing so (can make the first shot be half the power).
    Also since you swapped for every shot instead of just consistently firing with the same gun how much CO2 was lost between firing and writing things down?
    I personally prefer the byrna because it's magazine fed which means you can have a faster reload time if the situation requires it. Also the magazine has a tool built into it to allow for easy CO2 swaps.
    I think these are both great options for launchers it just depends on what you're using them for or how you plan on using them.

    • @airgunnerreviews7888
      @airgunnerreviews7888  11 днів тому

      Thank you for your input and great questions! This is my second Byrna LE, my first one also failed and after repair did not have the same power so they replaced it with this one and it blew a seal within 48 hours. Just like my original LE once it has been repaired it doesn’t have the same power as when new. In this test I pierced the C02 when on safety so the first shot had full power. The Salt S2 has never been repaired and if the Byrna LE was new the results most likely be in the Byrna’s favor (I think). No loss of C02 between shots and the pause actually raises the fps. I do like the Byrna system much better for the exact reasons you stated, the salt makes a good truck gun but too large to carry. Stay safe!!

Right out of the box it wont fire unless you press the mag in while shooting. They said they will repair it but now sounds like this is a serious quality control or engineering problem, or both. Very disappointed, they lost my business and wonder if is worth trying to fix it myself.

    I just put up a video today on the longevity of Byrna. Fortunately I did not get a dud in my LE performs great but by far the salt S2 is a more superior weapon. Just like I don't carry the LE on my person, I would not carry the S2 either. Although I do own the S2 and I do keep it in the house as a less-lethal option.

      I just finished watching your video and it is always nice to hear a different perspective on Byrna! I still love my SD and has been a solid performer and is the smallest LL on the market. My first LE lasted 10 months before failure and after repair the power was very inconsistent and sent a video to Byrna, it was sent back and replaced after they tested it for themselves. The second LE failed within 2 days of ownership! I am hoping they will redesign the LE to be more reliable and take off the bulky boost off the front. Thanks for stopping by and appreciate your comment!

    I just ordered and received my Mace 2 Pepper Launcher made by Salt Supply. This product offering is amazing! Mine is yellow in color which I like. I had looked at Byrna and the LE model but was not convinced enough t to purchase it. Glad I waited for the S2 to come out . About $200 cheaper than the Byrna LE and much more powerful. The effective range of the S2 was a major factor in my decision to purchase the Byrna LE. Byrna products seem overpriced and overrated in my opinion.

      The salt S2 has more consistent power and is built like a tank for 1/2 the price of the LE. I have also had two LE’s fail! I have shot about 800 rounds through the S2 with no issues. The first 2 or 3 shots with the LE will have more power than the S2 but the salt has more consistent power and averages higher fps when shooting the entire mag. If an intruder takes you by surprise the Byrna will pierce and shoot at the same time but the S2 you have to have time to pierce the C02 in order to fire and that could be a problem. Unfortunately there is no easy answer!

      I’d you bothered reading all the other comments you are alone in your thinking! The Byrna had only one hot shot (406fps) before dropping off 100 fps so if you missed with the first shot your screwed. After 6 shots the Byrna dropped off to 292 fps (11.43 joules) while the S2 6 shot average was 365 fps (17.85 joules). It is not practical to think you are going to have time to reload in a self defense situation so most people would rather have the most amount of power within the first magazine.
