Tazer or Taser?

Taser

Well, actually it’s TASER, which is a trademark of Taser International, the company behind the technology of this self-defense weapon.  It’s just that some people call them Tazers.  Either way, they’re one of the best non-lethal methods of self-defense available.  A tazer can deliver a 50,000 volt electrical charge up to a distance of 15 feet to stop an attacker in his tracks.  Unlike a stun gun, which requires close personal contact, a tazer can be used at a distance.

Tazers feature reloadable cartridges which contain the projectile that delivers the charge, the wire that the charge is delivered through, and the propellant that drives the projectile.  They work by emitting a series of high-speed high-voltage pulses, which interfere with the bodies’ electrical system and cause uncontrollable spasms.  They continue to deliver this charge for 30 seconds after being fired, giving you the chance to drop the weapon and get away.  For more information on the tazer.

Tasers are now available to the average person

Tasers

Not too long ago, you had to be law enforcement or military to purchase a taser.  But that’s all changed now, since Taser International started making consumer models.  One of the latest is the Taser C2, with a very modern design and most of the same features as military and law enforcement models.  The C2 can deliver a 50,000 volt charge over a distance of 15 feet using it’s reloadable cartridge technology.

The cartridge contains the projectile which delivers the charge, the small, thin wire over which the charge travels, and the propellant that fires the projectile at your attacker.  A hit with a Taser will immediately drop the subject in their tracks, and continue to deliver a charge for 30 seconds after it has been fired.  This gives you plenty of time to drop the weapon and make your escape.  For more information on tasers.

The Taser Gun - One of the most effective self-defense weapons you can buy

Taser Gun

The taser gun is one of the most effective, non-lethal self-defense weapons available to the average person.  Completely legal in most localities, a shot with a taser will drop an attacker in their tracks every time.  The taser works by delivering a 50,000 volts pulsing electical charge to the attacker’s body, and interfering with the body’s elecrical system.  One advantage of the taser is that it can be used from up to 15 feet away, so you can drop your attacker before they get their hands on you.

Tasers use replaceable cartridges which contain the projectile, the small, thin wire used to carry the charge, and the propellant used to power the projectile to its target.  They are avialable with an optional laser sight for assistance in aiming - just like the ones found on police rifles.  Tasers are not as expensive as you  might think, and if you are considering buying a self-defense weapon, give the taser a look.  For more information on the taser gun.

The Taser C2 - A sleek, ergonomic design available in a variety of colors

Taser C2

The Taser C2 is a new model from Taser International that’s at least partially targeted to women.  It has a sleek, ergonomic design (it doesn’t really look like a handgun, which most Taser models do), and comes in a variety of colors.  Available colors include black, blue, silver, pink, red, leopard, forest camo and desert camo.  And it doesn’t scrimp on features — it has all the same features as the more traditionally styled M18 Advanced Taser.

You can use the Taser C2 from a distance of up to 15 feet, and it packs a 50,000 volt wallop.  Taser’s technology ensures that if you hit your attacker anywhere on their body, they’ll be dropped in their tracks.  The Taser C2 uses interchangeable cartridges which contain the projectile, wire and propellant needed by the Taser to operate.  And it includes a laser sight for pinpoint targeting of your attacker.  For more information on the Taser C2.

The Taser - Law enforcement uses them so why can’t you?

Taser

Well, in most states and localities you can.  Taser International produces two models for sale to consumers - the Taser C2 and the Advanced Taser M18.  The Advanced Taser M18 is shaped like a handgun and looks much like the models carried by law enforcement and military personnnel.  The Taser C2 has a sleek, ergonomic look and is targeted mainly to ladies - it’s available in a number of colors including pink and camo.

Both of these Taser models provide some of the features of law enforcement models — They can be used from up to 15 feet away, they continue to deliver a charge for 30 seconds after being discharged, and they deliver a 50,000 volt charge to your attacker.  Check the laws in your locality and then consider purchasing a Taser - it’s the most advanced non-lethal self-defense weapon available.  For more information on the Taser.

Stunguns are a very effective self-defense tool

Stunguns

Stunguns are very effective self-defense tools if you are ever involved in a threatening situation.  The are like a line of last defense, something to use if you are actually being attacked.  You must make personal contact with your attacer with the stungun in order to stun them.  Stunguns work by delivering a high voltage charge to your attacker.  This charge can range from 80,000 to 200,000 volts.  This high  voltage charge interferes with you attackers nervous system, causing uncontrollable spasms and incapacitating them.

You can buy stun guns in a variety of shapes and sizes.  They range in price from $20 - $100 dollars — not that much to invest in your personal security.  All stunguns are designed to be held in one hand for use, with some type of trigger mechansim.  Stunguns range in size from a small 4.5″ model, to a telescoping baton that reaches out to 21.5″.  You can even get a stun gun that’s disguised as a cellphone.  For more information on stun guns.

The Stungun - An inexpensive investment in your personal safety and security

Stungun

The stungun represents a fairly inexpensive way to increase your personal safety and security.  Stunguns range in price from $20-$30 on up to around $100.  They are a very effective weapon against an attacker.  Stunguns work by delivering a very high-voltage (80,000 - 200,000 volts) shock to the attacker.  This interferes with the attacker’s nervous system, causing uncontrollable spasms, which incapacitate the attacker.

Stunguns are available in a range of sizes and shapes.  All are designed to be held in one hand for use.  They all have some sort of trigger mechanism on them.  You can get a small, 4.5″ long stungun, or you can get a 26.5″ long telescoping stun baton, which is the type used by many police and security personnel.  You an even get a stungun that’s diguised as a cell phone.  For more information on the stungun.

Stun guns - They cost less than you might imagine

Stun guns

Most people probably think of a stun gun as being a rather expensive item.  However, recent advances in technology have greatly reduced the cost of these devices, and they are easily within the reach of the average budget.  (Don’t confuse the stun gun with the taser - they are two separate things and tasers are quite expensive).  Prices on most stun guns are less than $100, with some models available in the $20-$30 range.

Stun guns are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and voltages.  They deliver between 80,000 and 200,000 volt electrical charges to your attacker.  This causes your attacker to undergo uncontrollable muscle spasms, incapacitating them.  You can buy small, handheld stun guns that are easy to carry and conceal.  You can also buy larger models such as stun batons that advertise the fact that you are armed to defend yourself.   You can even get a stun gun disguised as a cell phone.  So why not consider investing a few dollars in your personal safety and security?  For more information about stun guns.

Consider buying a stun gun to enhance your personal security

Stun Gun

Stun guns don’t cost very much these days, and they can greatly enhance your personal security if you find yourself faced with an attacker.  Stun guns are designed to be used up close - they require personal contact with your attacker, so they’re a last line of defense against an attack.  Stun guns work by delivering a high-voltage (between 80,000 and 200,00 volts) electrical charge when placed in contact with your attacker’s body.

A 2-3 second shot with a stun gun will usually completely disable an attacker.  The high voltage electical charge interferes with the body’s electrical system, causing your attacker to undergo severe muscle spasms.  These mucscle spasms quickly tire your attacker, thus disabling them.   Stun guns are legal to carry and use in most localities, but you’ll want to check your local laws just to make sure before purchasing one.  For more information on the stun gun.

The stun flashlight - A stun gun that’s also a flashlight

Stun Flashlight

You can get a couple of models of stun guns that are built into flashlights.  These handy devices actually provide 3-way security - a light, a loud personal alarm, and a stun gun.  The combination of these three should enhance your security greatly  - if the bright light and the alarm don’t scare your attacker off, then the stun gun will stop them in their tracks.

One model is a small, 8″ long flashlight with a 130dB alarm and 80,000 volt stun gun.  The other is a larger, 16.5″ long unit with a 130dB alarm and a 200,000 volt stun gun.  You can also use this model as a club if it gets down to it.  If you’ve never used a stun gun before, they work by causing your attacker to go into uncontrollable muscle spasms, quickly tiring them.  For more information on the stun flashlight.
