EDGED WEAPON WITH A SECRET
Look out! Shark attack! Settle down now, there’s a new, highly innovative edged weapon on the market that might just help you tackle those sometimes-deadly underwater confrontations. It’s called the WASP Injection Knife. It’s a multi-shot gas injection weapon that, according to company literature, is devastating to any living creature and will drop some of the largest mammals in a single stab. With the push of a button, the simple-to-operate weapon delivers up to a 24g shot of compressed gas at 800 psi on land or under water. When the air is discharged, a frozen ball of compressed gas (about the size of a basketball) enters the body of the predator and instantly freezes all surrounding tissues. The new WASP is great for divers, hunters and spec ops personnel. For more, visit www.waspknife.com
