Tasers are powerful self-defense devices designed to incapacitate attackers by delivering a high-voltage electric shock. Unlike stun guns, which require direct contact, Tasers can be used from a distance, making them a more versatile self-defense option.
Description:
Design: Tasers are handheld devices that shoot two small, dart-like electrodes connected to the main unit by wires. When the electrodes make contact with the target, they deliver a powerful electrical current that disrupts the body’s voluntary muscle control, temporarily incapacitating the attacker.
Range: Depending on the model, a Taser can be effective from a distance of 15 to 30 feet, allowing users to defend themselves before an attacker can get too close.
Power: Tasers typically deliver a high-voltage, low-amperage shock, which causes temporary immobilization without lasting injury.
Features:
Laser Aiming: Many Tasers come with laser sights to improve accuracy, making it easier to aim at an attacker from a distance.
Integrated Flashlight: Some models include a built-in flashlight for use in low-light situations.
Safety Features: Tasers often have safety switches to prevent accidental discharge and can sometimes include training cartridges for practice use.
Rechargeable Battery: Many modern Tasers are equipped with rechargeable batteries to ensure they’re always ready when needed.
