Tasers & Stun Guns: Stun Gun Baton

Posted on 01 August 2010 by Tony Thacker

Not only have taser guns become one of the US police forces favorite and most commonly used

(but highly controversial) weapons in their arsenal but are also used by criminals in the street. Taser guns have been touted as a non-lethal tool used to easily subdue an attacker, but have received much negative press after several deaths involving police use of tasers on the public. Tasers provide easy take downs by overriding the central nervous system sending the victim to the floor in record speed.

Civilians and the public can also purchase these police style taser guns from most gun stores as well as many online retailers. And having gone from being priced at almost $1,000 several years ago can now be found for as little as $99. However law enforcement has put some restrictions into effect that are meant to reduce crimes using them and give police officers the advantage. For example the M26c pistol style taser available to the public only has a range of 15 feet, while the police issue version can hit a target with laser sight 21 feet away.
Additionally ‘AFIDs’ have been put into the cartridges to help police track evidence in cases where they are used illegally. These AFIDs are many tiny pieces of paper that are released when the taser is fired. They eject and cover the scene with these tiny pieces of paper that are coded and can be traced back to the purchaser.

What is the best type of sword?

Posted on 18 February 2010 by Tony Thacker

Martial artists and warriors have argued this debate for decades – ‘what is the best type of sword?

Throughout history many types and styles of swords have been developed and mastered by different cultures. Many of the differing types and lengths of swords were developed out of necessity as armor and defenses changed.

Other swords in the martial arts as well as ninja swords were born due to the types of materials and metals that were available and the restrictions those materials presented. Though one thing is for sure, and that is that the sword is definitely the most recognizable and widely used weapon throughout history. Despite the other weapons that warriors have carried and used the sword always held a special and often spiritual value amongst those who used them.

As power-bases among civilizations came and went—often as a result of violent conflict and large-scale warfare—martial arts developed as a response to the environment in which warriors found themselves.
