Home made tasers

I saw this in another blog and thought it was pretty cool plus I wanted to try the video upload feature.

The video is a demonstration of how to turn a regular desposalable camera into a ‘taser’. I don’t think it has a great deal of practicality as a weapon (I don’t know about you but I’m probably going to be a bit suspicious of a guy coming at with with a disposable camera that’s got two wires sticking out of it) but it might have some other applications (he mentions it as useful for starting fires or as an ignition spark for other items like a potato gun). Some of those uses may be criminal but it also might have some survival applications as well like starting a camp or signal fire. I might just try this to see if it works.

Enjoy!

It seems that video has been taken down…Here is another set of instructions though (you’ll need to log on to YouTube to view it)
