Are Self-Defense Weapons Worth Carrying? We Tested Them!

[@maccurtis730]

Those batons held up vs the concrete barrier better than some car bumpers do.

[@Karatemart]

That’s actually an excellent point, Mac!

[@GaryTurbo]

The pepper spray would be like The Office where Dwight sprayed Roy and the pepper residue spread through the office

[@Karatemart]

I am such a huge "The Office" fan! Yeah, you are right...definitely wouldn't want to spray it in an office if you can avoid it.

[@patbailey]

Yep. Dude, that show was hilarious!

[@NeaHaunts]

I have the skull fanged keychain, and it works well indeed. Just use it on bad guys, not Wing Chun wooden dummies, and you'll be fine. Also, as you might recall, I have and tested your keychain Personal Alarm/Stun Gun/Flashlight, which works perfectly, and I carry it on a badge reel attached to my belt, so that if I need the alarm, the stun effect, or just the super bright flashlight, it's right there on my belt, easily in hand at a moment's notice. Another use for the personal alarm came in handy one time, when I was walking my dog, and I saw a guy across the street trying to break into a second story window of a condo. Setting off the alarm, his head whipped around, and he scrambled down off the roof and ran away. To sum up, personal alarms are not only good for letting people around you know that you are being assaulted, but as per my previous example, you can actually fight crime with them. That, and if you are holding the alarm as it's sounding, and someone is trying to get close to you, if you put it next to their ear, it also functions as a self-defense weapon. Insofar as the pepper spray blowback: yes there will be some, but *most* of it would end up on the bad guy. Excellent video, everyone!

[@Karatemart]

Hahah😂…exactly! Thanks so much for watching Jordan! I really appreciate it!

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

@@Karatemart You folks always make me feel like an extended part of the KarateMart family. You all so rock!

[@Karatemart]

@@ObservantPiratePlus well Jordan, the positivity you bring to our channel makes this worth doing, so I really appreciate it brother!

[@Pbadome1]

Kyle, that 20 minutes went too fast, now I have to wait another week! So, you rock. I love the tests. Expandable baton on bone, is not bending. Using baton on a person if you're trained to trap arms and wrists, or restraining, no problem at all. If someone bought a baton because they hate cement poles, well, that's another issue, so bravo! Umbrella stun gun, awesome. Now I think Will wants a raise, he literally chased you with that thing, and yeah, I'm sure you're tired of electricity, but you do it for us, thank you. On a sadistic note, once you mention "stun gun", I take odd pleasure in looking forward to your reaction. 130 decibels is off the charts, those I'll be purchasing today. In house alarms are 85, and a lot of machinery is 105. Yelling and shouting has its drawbacks, because bystanders often think it's just a fight between a couple, but the alarm is the game changer. Besides that, 130 decibels is totaling annoying, so people are going to want to know who the hell is making that noise...thumbs up on that one. Finally, the pepper spray. That's a lot of wind blowing, sure there'll be blowback, but on a windy day like that, stay inside. As you said, nothing like a direct shot to the face, big difference. So, another great Weapons Wednesday video, I thank you for all you do, I would ask that your followers actually do hit the like button, and, I think you belong in the movies.

[@Karatemart]

[@kylerogerspowers2935]

Kyle loved the intro. Lots of power and the stance nice. All the self defense weapons were pretty slick. Just have to say love the umbrella of course. I did notice Will loved it s little to much. Not to mention he took a extra shot at you. So naw him getting shocked to would have been ok. The pepper spray. Lord i been near someone that got sprayed it was awful. I can only imagine how bad it is. So you testing it for the people. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 You be the man. Peace there. Have a good weekend.

My man kyle. As a secert ninja. Shsh I know you can't say. You served in the military. I get the feeling you have. So happy veterans day. God bless you.

[@Karatemart]

@@kylerogerspowers2935 aweeee…thanks man. That’s so kind of you. Sadly, I didn’t go the military route, but would have loved it. I’m a fan of structure, organization and discipline, so the military would have been perfect for me. My parents never made it an option not to go directly into college from high school, so I spent my youth studying business at ASU. I have so much respect for military members and honor their amazing sacrifices to this country. We don’t give them enough credit.

[@maccurtis730]

[@Karatemart]

Thanks brother! It’s been a while since I made this video, but if I remember it correctly, it’s the one where I was testing the pepper spray blowback as well. The pepper spray was definitely the toughest thing I had to test in this video because it just burns your skin!

[@alexawermuth1219]

👌👌👌 THAT WAS TOPS. Loving these self defense and hidden weapons videos lately! Thanks for taking those shocks for us. Of course, an alarm keychain is advantageous over a scream because you can't scream when your mouth is covered, you're unconscious, or you're in shock. GREAT video, awesome tests! With the pepperspray too, I could never. I love it. And it was great to see Will! He's wonderful.

[@bartangel4867]

I understand that some blow back will happen if you are that close to the fan. but how much less will you have sprayed back at you when you don't have that strong of a wind but just a regular day. Would you be fine if while there is no more wind than usual but pepper spray would have slightly over 5 million SHU?

[@Karatemart]

Great question Bart! I really feel like no matter what the SHU is on the Scoville scale, the advantages of using pepper sprays to protect yourself far outweigh the possibility of some blowback. Thanks so much for watching!
