Non-lethal weapons let you protect yourself without resorting to deadly force. Below is a concise guide to common types — what they do, when to use them, and quick links to shop trusted TBOTECH options.

Electric Weapons — Stun Guns & Tasers

Electric devices deliver an incapacitating shock, ideal for close encounters or fast defense.

• Stun guns — compact, contact-based (Hot Shot).
• Tasers — cartridge-based distance models (TASER Pulse).

Chemical Weapons — Pepper Spray & Tear Gas

Chemical sprays cause temporary blindness and breathing distress — perfect for distance defense.

• Pepper gel & sprays — keychain or lipstick styles for everyday carry.
• Tear gas / mace — law enforcement-grade strength.

Impact Weapons — Batons & Less-Lethal Projectiles

Physical deterrents that extend your reach and control. Common in law enforcement and home defense.

• Expandable batons — durable, extendable reach.
• Beanbag rounds — for trained or police use only.

Other Tools — Alarms, Keychain Tools & Improvised Items

Simple, portable defense tools for non-confrontational protection.

• Personal alarms — loud, attention-grabbing deterrents.
• Shar-Key & keychain tools — quick-access hand protection.
• Improvised: keys or umbrellas — use only when safe and appropriate.

Legal Considerations

Non-lethal weapons are generally legal but regulated. Check your state’s size and carry limits before purchasing. Use only in self-defense situations.
