It's for self defense, I swear....

The electrical tape gives a nice effect.

 

[Jeff7]

Nice, and it's still capable of inflicting damage after your mana pool runs out.

I wonder what the laws are regarding carrying a sword. Do you need a permit? If so, why?

 

[gevorg]

great way to scare the hell out of potential mugger

 

[Harrod]

Hmmm, maybe it's time to start playing LARP.

I believe some states do not allow carrying something longer than a few inches. Why, I don't know. Probably for "safety".

Just hide it under your trench coat. It works for Highlander. :wub:

 

[Red Squirrel]

It would be hilarious if carrying a sword would require a permit, when a semi automatic assault riffle is completely ok. Then again we're talking about a country that has banned kinder surprises and magnetic office toy balls.

 

[DrPizza]

Things that make me grin. Think I'll show the video in physics class today. (We're on an electricity unit.)

That's not a knife...........

I prefer cold enchants myself for the slowing effect, but lightning ain't bad either. He should have used a higher class item though... might have been able to put two enchants on there for higher dmg.

I really wish people would stop calling these things tasers. A taser shoots out electrodes that contact the perp and puts out an electrical current specifically modulated to interfere with the nervous system. Unlike a stun gun, they are quite effective and regardless of a perp's size or strength they can be quickly subdued. It is possible to nullify their effectiveness with undergarments specifically designed for that purpose but the use of them is very rare.

A stun gun (which this is based on btw) is simply a switching power supply that produces a very high voltage at miniscule (60µA typical) current. It's enough to dazzle, disorient, and scare an attacker. Or really piss off a person with adrenaline or high, etc.

At least with a sharp blade if someone is not intimidated you can still cut 'em. :biggrin:

"Taser" sounds cool. It's got that ZZZZZ sound.

Stun gun sounds more like you're verbally beating someone with a stick.

:sneaky:

lol I had very similar thoughts running through my mind.

 

[Kelvrick]

I need to see him actually hit something with that. I think an alternator sized piece of beef would be a good test.

EDIT: Looks like this project can probably be done for around $50. $25 for the swords, $20 for a cheap taser, $5 for some electrical tape and maybe leather wrap if you want to fancy it up.
