You are 💯% correct, I've always been a proponent of buying extra parts as often as I can, especially parts that break and wear. Ive heard the FSC and TCP have been discontinued. Its why i purchased a few FSC's not too long ago, for spare parts in the future or build 2 more LL FSC's. But get spare parts folks.

Sounds familiar. I hoarded parts after getting mine just in case. They all eventually get discontinued.

That is such an important observation. Parts do become limiting over time. There's always people just dying for parts and cannot afford a new launcher. It's a real problem.

Glad it was helpful. To me it's stating the obvious but hopefully everyone will consider the long-term when they buy a launcher now for their short-term more immediate needs.

Thanks. I might just have to elaborate more on this important topic.

I'd rather have fewer tools that I know work, rather than hopscotch from one item to the next for sake of novelty. I'd like to believe that eventually longevity for products will start showing up once an optimum niche has been found for max ability with CO2 and PCP tools.

You and me both! I like what I have but don't like the upkeep required to stage multiple launchers. They can't just be put away and expected to work without routine testing and lubing. Time is short and life is busy. We need tools that work on demand.

I have a Byrna Hi Viz and I'm happy with it. Is it the most powerful launcher on the market? No it isn't, but it does its job. I have a LTL Bravo and it's my EDC right now, but the Charlie is coming out this summer and I'm looking forward to seeing how it improves on the Bravo. I also have a 50 Joule HDX for home defense that I bought from a company that's been around for the last 25 yrs and I'm happy with what I have at this point. The Less Lethal market is definitely a slippery slope of chasing the next best thing every year even if what you have still does the job quite well. BTW... I'm looking forward to seeing what the Grimburg Solstice brings to the market when it comes out possibly in 2025 👀

You are dealing with stable reputable companies (Byrna, LTL, Umarex) and stock launchers. That's very smart! I didn't explicitly say it in the video, but it's logical that heavily-modified launchers are most likely the first to die and become extinct. I'm concerned about those folks. If anyone out there is buying 3rd party products from a fly-by-night source, then don't expect good longevity or ability to repair years from now when things break.

I'm hopeful that the less lethal pistols and rifles will begin to take market share from the firearm sales eventually,when ? ,,, when less lethal products are most reasonablely reliable and fairly priced and the joules are sufficient???????... Growing platform will mature and wisely operate life's ups and downs.

I too hope Less Lethal holds its own and does hit some key Joule and size milestones. Constructive criticism is necessary to drive innovation and get us there.

Our goal is to position ourselves along side top tier firearm brands like HK or FN, offering superior quality launchers for those who appreciate reliability and craftsmanship. In the event we discontinue our operations, we have decided to make all CAD files available to the public. If you prefer to use a more economical launcher manufactured in Thailand or Taiwan to defend your life with, the choice is entirely yours. But we're definitely not sticking with the status quo. Not sure why you'd discourage progress in the industry.

Grimburg Less Lethal is the gold standard in my opinion. I am constantly promoting brands like yours and discouraging users from 3rd party sellers making items in their home and charging a fortune. Keep doing great work. You offer competitive pricing and top quality.
