WHAT MAKES OUR SELF-DEFENSE TOOLS DIFFERENT?
We believe personal safety should be accessible, powerful, and responsible.
Here’s what sets our technology apart:
Engineered for Real Protection
Our tools are built using military-grade polymers, aluminum, and internal pressure systems that deliver stopping power in a lightweight, concealable form. Whether you’re carrying a compact spray or a launcher-style device, each item is designed with durability, precision, and readiness in mind.
Always Ready with CO₂ Activation
- Ready to use at a moment’s notice
- Safe to store for weeks or even months
- Reliable even after long-term storage
Safe Distance, Maximum Control
Unlike close-contact options like batons or stun devices, our tools allow you to stop a threat from up to 60–80 feet away, giving you space to act without putting yourself in harm’s way.
Launchers
Multiple Shots, Multiple Chances
Our self-defense tools can fire multiple rounds from a single cartridge, enabling you to respond to threats confidently, without needing to reload immediately.
Control, Not Lethality
Each non-lethal weapon is designed to disarm, disable, or deter—without delivering permanent harm. It gives you time to escape, call for help, or defuse a situation without crossing the line into deadly force.
