Rechargeable Stungun for Self-Defense

Never got answer to my questions on unit. I charged it up when got but not sure how long charge lasts since won't use until needed. Maybe would scare intruder away with noise, but doubt if a deterrent.

Just received it so can't judge quality but I think it is too large to carry in my pockets

Having gotten this stun gun for my wife only a week ago, I can tell you of my first impressions. Seems to be built solidly, considering the body is made out of some kind of, I suppose, ABS plastic compound. Upon receiving the Vipertek VTS-880, I immediately slide the butt end AC plug adapter out and plugged it into the wall for the required 8 hour initial charge.First, the LED is quite adequate enough to see anyone in a dark alley, but probably not enough to blind them (which I do not think is was intended to do). I then turned off the "safety", by sliding the thumb switch up. I then tested the initial "scare factor" by energizing the gun for less than 1 second. Directions state to not turn it on for more than one second or damage may occur. I am assuming this is only in non self-defense use, as the devise would not be grounded, as it would if it were touching sonething, or presumably someone, that was.I can state for a fact, even I was amazed at the noise and flash of the electrical arc produced! Even for less than a second. Impressive!I have yet to find a subject willing or worthy of testing the effect of direct contact with the defense weapon to see the effect it would produce on a real assailant. Rated at 30 million V, I suppose it would produce the necessary effect. But, true electrical shock damage to the body, is a product of the current more than the voltage. That being said, 30 million volts is enough to stop anyone at a very small current.I will follow up, if I can find a voluntary test subject. My 30 yr. old son seems to think he can take it. Maybe, I will be letting you know sooner than later.To con't my review of this taser gun, my son volunteered to test it on himself. Yea, he's like that......I have 2 short videos, but not sure I can post them here, so I will get screen shots, if I can't. Needless to say, the Vipertek worked as it should have. He shocked his thigh, for well less than a second, and he was hunched over saying...." Ouuuh".. LOL! He also tested the LED power, which, as hopefully, you will see, is adequate enough to SEE who you are tazing, before doing so.So, my final 5* review will certainly stand! This baby will work wonders vs. any assailants, as long as you use it properly. Which is pretty easy, but could be "iffy" in shakes, nervous hands. Great for anyone wanting a deterrent to oncoming or any mugger, mauler, etc, if you are prepared to use it. Great for girlfriends, wives, moms, anyone. And if you do NEED to use it for defense, forget the 1 second warning. Taze until the thug can't move and dial, 911! Sound do the trick!

I bought for a female friend she 66 and scared all time told her carry all time when riding bus alone make her feel safer

It’s easy to use and it’s very loud

I absolutely love this product, it works fine and I am satisfied with the quality of it! I would recommend you purchase ??!

I like the fact that this product is small and hopefully reliable. The sound of it alone is very intimidating. It Also has a built in flashlight. The product should only be used as a last resort in a potentially dangerous situation. I hope I never have to use it.

The zapping sound alone probably would get the job done...lol. I live out of my van on road trips so I keep this handy at night in case someone tries to break in. I haven't needed to use it yet but it's nice having it available.

bought for a family member and she loves it

I carry this in my purse. It fits well in a side pocket. I've probably had this a year and have charged it maybe three times. The battery life is impressive! The light stays bright and it's very easy to use. This is a quality purchase for any woman or man.
