VIPERTEK VTS-880 Mini Stun Gun for Self Defense Rechargeable with LED Flashlight

THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW. I HAVE NOT ACCEPTED REMUNERATION FOR MY REVIEW. I have been feeling uncomfortable walking my dog at night because I had heard on the news that there had been trouble in my neighborhood. So, I bought one of these vipers. The price was good and it made me feel safer. It arrived within two days. I charged it up and took Lucky, my 35 pound, rescue, mixed-breed pup, for a walk. Within a block, a tough looking young man asked me what the time was. I told him it was ten fifteen, wished him a pleasant evening and began to head down the street. He grabbed my arm and told me he needed a loan. I had never seen him before, so I declined, and tried to walk away. He contined to hold my arm and told me to give him my wallet. I reached for my back pocket. He said I was making the right choice and let go of my arm. I pulled the viper out of my pocket, jabbed it in to his neck and hit the power button for thirty seconds. I really did not know what to expect, but it worked extremely well. He collapsed after fifteen seconds, so I followed him down and gave him a full thirty seconds. He was flopping around and moaning as I walked away. One of his buddies noticed him flopping on the ground and asked me to call 911. I said he will be fine and continued on.Fifty yards later, a man asked what I was looking to score. I told him that civility was all I wanted. He laughed and lunged at me. The viper was still in my hand and the flashlight was on. I jammed the viper in to his neck and hit the power button for twenty seconds, again following him down as he collapsed. His flopping made the viper lose contact, so I jammed it real tight against his neck and gave him another ten seconds.After Lucky and I started back home, a very muscular, tattooed twenty something young man asked me if I had any money. I said I did. I wished him a good evening and began walking away. He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. He said he really needed my money and that if I gave it to him that he wouldn't hurt me too badly. I told him I only had a few hundred on me, but that I needed it for my ballroom dancing lessons. He began laughing (my dancing really is improving and it is great exercise). I jammed the viper in to his arm pit and hit the power. He started dancing and moaning. He fell down after about twenty seconds. I wiped his sweat off on his tank top and I noticed that his flip flop had come off. I decided to try it on the soft spot in the middle of the bottom of his foot. He began groaning loudly and his legs were thrashing like crazy, so I had to grab his leg to keep contact. I gave him a full minute and he seemed to be unconscious when I released the power switch. Just out of curiosity, I checked his pockets to see if he really needed my money. His pockets were full of money. I detest liars, so I jammed the viper in to his inner thigh and pressed the power switch for 30 seconds. His legs thrashed around a bit, but he seemed unconscious. As a joke, I took his money and put it in the bag with Lucky's bowel movement. It wouldn't fit in his pocket, so I put it in his hat and jamned it down on his head. The bag split and it was quite messy.With the possible exception of a few excellent puzzles of landscapes, I have enjoyed this product more than any other item that I have purchased from Amazon! I highly recommend the Vipertech and would purchase it again.

I now own 2 of these. I’ve thankfully never had to use them but after seeing the way they spark, I think they are powerful. They have so far maintained a charge well and are a really good size to handle during an emergency. As a woman it fits really well in my hand. Comes with a usb cable. Good value

Arrived quickly and is exactly as described, it holds a charge for days to weeks without charging, easy to use and compact for comfort. Vey great buy and functional, hopefully I never need to use it, but if so I know it will definitely do the job.

Having gotten this stun gun for my wife only a week ago, I can tell you of my first impressions. Seems to be built solidly, considering the body is made out of some kind of, I suppose, ABS plastic compound. Upon receiving the Vipertek VTS-880, I immediately slide the butt end AC plug adapter out and plugged it into the wall for the required 8 hour initial charge.First, the LED is quite adequate enough to see anyone in a dark alley, but probably not enough to blind them (which I do not think is was intended to do). I then turned off the "safety", by sliding the thumb switch up. I then tested the initial "scare factor" by energizing the gun for less than 1 second. Directions state to not turn it on for more than one second or damage may occur. I am assuming this is only in non self-defense use, as the devise would not be grounded, as it would if it were touching sonething, or presumably someone, that was.I can state for a fact, even I was amazed at the noise and flash of the electrical arc produced! Even for less than a second. Impressive!I have yet to find a subject willing or worthy of testing the effect of direct contact with the defense weapon to see the effect it would produce on a real assailant. Rated at 30 million V, I suppose it would produce the necessary effect. But, true electrical shock damage to the body, is a product of the current more than the voltage. That being said, 30 million volts is enough to stop anyone at a very small current.I will follow up, if I can find a voluntary test subject. My 30 yr. old son seems to think he can take it. Maybe, I will be letting you know sooner than later.To con't my review of this taser gun, my son volunteered to test it on himself. Yea, he's like that......I have 2 short videos, but not sure I can post them here, so I will get screen shots, if I can't. Needless to say, the Vipertek worked as it should have. He shocked his thigh, for well less than a second, and he was hunched over saying...." Ouuuh".. LOL! He also tested the LED power, which, as hopefully, you will see, is adequate enough to SEE who you are tazing, before doing so.So, my final 5* review will certainly stand! This baby will work wonders vs. any assailants, as long as you use it properly. Which is pretty easy, but could be "iffy" in shakes, nervous hands. Great for anyone wanting a deterrent to oncoming or any mugger, mauler, etc, if you are prepared to use it. Great for girlfriends, wives, moms, anyone. And if you do NEED to use it for defense, forget the 1 second warning. Taze until the thug can't move and dial, 911! Sound do the trick!
