VIPERTEK Heavy Duty Stun Gun with LED Flashlight Expired

I was able to find this on the Amazon listing page.

"Due to restrictions in some states, county and city laws we do not ship to the following locations: Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, District of Columbia, Annapolis, MD, Baltimore, MD, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore County, MD, Crawford County,IA."

I'd suggest pepper spray over a stun gun. Stun gun requires very close contact. Pepper spray you can at least step a few feet back and use. Just my .02
If someone is wearing thick clothes, the stun gun may not work.
If a person is on heavy drugs, neither may work LOL

I don't mean to threadcrap, but I don't get how this got to go FP...

First of all, the price difference with Amazon is only a couple of bucks, and the Amazon seller has 99% positive feedback (or actually only a few cents price difference for the VTS-103)

Second, there is NO PRODUCT INFO on the Vipertek website. I mean there is a useless catalog which has NO SPECS, NO RATING, NO POWER OUTPUT in µC. Seriously. What kind of BS is that? What kind of manufacturer is that that doesn't put product specs in their own product listings on their own web site? That's just plain stupid and shady, Sorry. See vipertek.com

I tried figuring out the differences between their various products, and I found a couple of comments that mention that TS-195 is supposedly around 1µC as rated by SABRE (their competitor) but TS 103 is less that 0.5µC (good enough to just scare but not seriously incapacitate).

If you guys are serious about this for personal protection, why not spend extra $10 and purchase this

https://www.amazon.com/SABRE-Tact...pons&psc=1

for $22 instead, rated 2.517 µC - much higher than *any* of the VIPERTEK products (according to the scares info I am able to find).

Also Sabre seems to be much more reputable and seems to be used by police departments around the country. Also sold by amazon.com rather than a 3rd party dealer.

Seriously. Thanks to OP for bringing up the topic, but I don't see how this is either a FP deal or a good product. Unless you want to save $5 and get your ass beat because you used underpowered piece of junk instead of something with the actual stopping power...

For the record - I know nothing about the stun guns, I was just shocked by the complete luck of info or specs on most of the VIPERTEK listings including their own web sites, and with a little digging seems like pretty substandard product with much better comparable products selling for just a few bucks more.
