Blast Knuckles, the 1,000,000-volt Stun Gun

In the world of self-defense gadgets, a new warrior has been born: the Blast Knuckles, one of the planet's most powerful stun guns, now coming with a different approach to repel assailants and bringing a whole new meaning to “getting a grip.” The first thing you should know about this contraption is that it packs a whole lotta volts, which are not to toy with. 950,000V is enough to have some faint-hearted felon kicking the bucket and thin current will definitely change the mind of any attacker as soon as the volts start going through their bodies.

One very important detail on the Blast Knuckles is that it has the shape of the good old badass brass knuckles you get to see in old movies. Now, this special shape comes with a lot of advantages that raise the Blast Knuckles above other similar self-defense gadgets. First, the fact that you actually have it in your hand and can grip it tightly so no assailant could take it away from you with a simple blow on your arm is worth mentioning.

Then, it's the very use of these Knuckles that must be emphasized. There is no need for aiming (like in the case of tasers) – you just punch like you normally would, using your fist. Consequently, your electricity-loaded clenched hand will discharge a very serious amount of volts in your attacker, leaving you 5 to 10 minutes to get away from the danger.

The Blast Knuckles is made of no-slip, high-traction rubber with a full-grip design letting you get a good hold of the device. Furthermore, it also comes with dual lithium rechargeable batteries and a tactical holster. This stun gun additionally sports individual trigger and safety switches to prevent accidental discharges.

Caution is required when handling the Blast Knuckles, and self-zapping is completely unadvised. While you can get your gadget for around $50, we should stress that you must be of legal age to own such a device and also make sure its use is authorized in your state, country, or area. Should you not believe us, just keep in mind that not all 50 states consider it legal, and, of course, one can only use the Blast Knuckles in self-defense situations, in order to avoid penal consequences.
