Phazzer – The Best Air Taser For Self-Defense

By: Teresa Bernard

Phazzer air stun guns are one of the most effective self defense weapons available within the US. Designed to rival the Taser electronic control device, they are capable of disabling an escaping perpetrator from a safe distance away. The Phazzer is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current delivered via darts which are shot through the air attached by wires. They are considered by many to be excellent non-lethal weapons for self defense and here's why. Air stun guns will temporarily disable an attacker when high-energy, low amperage electricity from one of these devices passes through clothing and skin, and enters the body. Any effects caused are not permanent. Getting acquainted with and acquiring the proper self defense arsenal is the first step in demonstrating how much we value our own safety. The air stun gun's function is to stun the aggressor with electrical energy charges and the Phazzer falls under this category of arsenal. The device’s emitters are fired from the mechanism like a conventional gun but are connected to wires that conduct electricity. An electrical current travels via two wires to the emitters which act like darts and attach themselves to the attacker’s skin or clothing. The air stun gun is makes ideal as an effective device for self protection because it has long range capability. The Phazzer allows you to be at a distance from the assailant and still work. You can disable an attacker from up to 25 feet away. Phazzers are a popular choice for self defense since they cost a lot less than their closest competitor, the Taser electronic control device. In addition, no criminal background check is ever required to use the Phazzer, unlike the Taser which requires you to have a criminal background check and pay a fee for it. Phazzer Electronics Inc. makes some exceptional air stun guns for self defense. Two worth noting are the Dragon and the Enforcer. Both the Phazzer Dragon and Phazzer Enforcer air stun gun are effective non-lethal weapons in protecting the user’s safety. They provide a safe alternative to the use of deadly force in the defense of personal safety instead of injuring the target. These air tasers have been tested for safety and will substantially reduce the likelihood of serious harm or death as compared to alternative methods of self defense. The Phazzer is one of the most effective alternatives to the use of more substantial force when it is unnecessary. Both devices have been field tested for accuracy and effectiveness, and have consistently subdued their target within 2 to 5 seconds upon contact. The Dragon can also be used as a traditional hand-held stun gun after the dart cartridge has been released from the device. In addition to the projectile electrodes which stun an attacker, the Enforcer offers pepper ball cartridges. The pepper ball cartridges shoot pepper balls which explode on the target and is the same as hitting them with pepper spray. Phazzers are very effective less-than-lethal devices. Law enforcement, armed forces and individuals worldwide use stun devices for self protection. You will have to decide for yourself if a stun device is right for you. You may want to make that decision based on ease of use, what you know about the weapon and if you will be able to effectively use it to fend off an attack.
