With a range of 40 feet—that's 25 feet more than a Taser&mdasj;the Avurt IM-5 personal protection launcher will keep away anyone you don't want near you from getting too close. It's simple to work: aim at the chest of a large, blond man in a stadium, pull the trigger and the man will be too overcome by coughing to do anything to you.
The flashlight-sized IM-5 can shoot up to five pellets containing PAVA powder. When you see the large blond man in the stadium, unfold the weapon and, using the laser bead, take aim and Bam! you bagged yourself a large, coughing mammal.
The $300 protection gadget is not just aimed at women, either, because it comes in black, red and blue as well. So, guys, if you see a large blond man sitting in your seat at the ball game, you know what to use. [Avurt via KWGN-TV]

So we fire it then pull the trigger? is this using the faster than light tech from the german photon guys?
i go ahead and get this comment out of the way: it looks like a pink carvac
is the large blonde man's name Helmut or Kurt?
and do they sell the machine gun model that the video uses?
i watched the video on this product and here's what i think: (a) don't walk alone in dark alleys even if you are a large blonde man named hans. (b) almost zero chance of you taking that gizmo out of a purse and firing it effectively before the attacker is on top of you (in fact, almost zero chance if all you have to do is unfold the handle). (c) if you point something that looks like a gun with a laser sight at a guy with a gun you are dead.
And exactly how do you propose we get that past "security".
I'm glad they cut that video where they did. You know he was about to hock something out.
Weapons should not be pink. Period.
heh, MY weapon is pink.

As my little sister says to me... GROSS! TMI! TMI!
So he's coughing...does that really stop him from landing one good blow to the side of your head?
Speaking on behalf of all large blonde men, I find the entire post shocking, saddening, racist, homophobic, stereotypicial, muslim-hating, islamophobic, gross, icky, perverse, undignified, flatulent...... what's that? Flatulent means full of fartish air? Oh... well then that's kinda funny. Never mind.
@TONY
I agree. I wonder if it was tested on a guy who is in a rage (like having an adrenaline shot) or a guy on PCP. Somehow--assuming you could hit the guy accurately while in a panic--I doubt you'd even slow him down before he tackled your butt...
If nothing else, just simply pointing a pink gun at someone will make them start choking with laughter!
@BIGDANINTX
You hear that nutbastard? No pointing your pink gun! :)
@Tony of TonyandJuan.com: Totally agree... I think it's possible for a large blonde man to cough AND quick your ass if he's in a viking like berzerker rage (which we all know happens to large blonde men all the time). This gizmo could just be making him more enthusiastic about that beat down.
Convert a large hostile blonde man into a large hostile blonde coughing ANGRY man in seconds!
