the one getting robbed are the customers who bought this.
👍👍💯
Robbery is theft by force. No one is forcing anyone here.
Agreed. It seems to me that using this thing on an attacker will just make the attacker more angry.
Exactly...😂😂😂
Get blasted yourself if you shoot it off in close quarters. Then your really screwed.
Whoever buys a blaststick for $80 is a fool ! Whoever sells a blaststick for $80 is a genius !
50$ for a practice lmao
$80 !!??
Wow
That is a crazy price
I’ll wait for the Chinese knock-off.
Ya $80 is expensive. They should make them like $20 so the masses can buy em and then they’d make money.
The other issue is he said you get one shot. $80 would make sense if it’s got a replaceable canister and slot for another shot or something. But ifs its one shot and then throw it away that’s way expensive and not to environmentally friendly for the super progressive state.
"it's like a shotgun shell"
Minus the primer, wadding, gunpowder and the shot.
So is a baggie,
He said it's like a shotgun shell "full of"........
Which means that it's like a shotgun shell that has had all of the shotgun stuff taken out of it and filled up with something else.
Words aren't hard, start paying attention.
@@lordgarion514 You are clueless.
I live in Colorado, this reminds me of the idiot that blinded himself against a mountain lion, the wind was blowing and the spray blew back in his face, so now he was against a mountain lion blinded 😂
Wow thanks for this post ,
Never thought of the wind factor 😂
Imagine getting robbed on an island where nobody’s in shape
Maybe sometimes the world needs an idiot as accidental test subject, so the rest of us can learn from stupid hitting the wall
Did the mountain lion go to get help for the man?
Bear spray $30.
YES And bear spray will stop a dozen people
The bears have complained that its discriminatory
@@masonite1973 ha ha ha ha
Fire extinguisher $25
Can of raid wasp killer, get the same results and can spay farther distances
Great way to anger someone before they assault you.
10/10 you're not doing anything besides washing your face off after being blasted with that
@@Commonsensepreps A normal person would be affected. The meth'ed-up raging lunatic won't even feel it.
This !!!!
😂😂😂😂
@@Commonsensepreps if you hit your target in the face with your single shot...🤔
1 for 80 bucks? RIPOFF This shouldnt cost anymore than 20 bucks at the most. Its a C02 canister with 5 cents of ingredients and a plastic casing.
Exactly, and it seems like a single use item. Why would anyone pay $80 for 1 use?? That’s outrageous. If they offered refills then maybe. But honestly how often would someone use it. There’s just no scenario where this would be practical.
😂😂😂 Imagine living in a state where you rely pressurized pepper powder to defend yourself, your family and your home… 😂😂
So ridiculous. It’s laughable.
I used to live there. Its gone to hell, I am very glad to live in the free state of Florida!
i mean, i still got guns at home, we just cant carry here, which is bs
Imagine living in a country that allows its states to regulate its citizens 😂🎉
@@nativeaf9933 state law doesn't trump a constitutional right. Just like freedom of speech and religion. Therefore the Second Amendment reigns supreme. Which is why abortion is a STATE right as it is not enshrined in the constitution. Civics class would do you well.
$80, ripoff.
I bet they are trying to exploit the possibility of the govt. buying them in bulk etc., perhaps. There are literally garbage cans and plastic etc., chairs bought by the US govt./military for ~80+ bucks a pop supposedly. If they sell it to non-gov. consumers for ~15 bucks or something, govt. can perhaps say, "well, why are we getting them for 80?". Aha, hence they may make more money in short term, by getting those govt. contracts and just pumping the prices to exploit that perhaps. They may sell for less, if the company decide to lower prices and or if they get competition from a similar type product perhaps.
It's not a ripoff. It's a convenient way to season your food quickly.
@@icemancometh1621 or babypowder whatever ass you want for only 50 bucks
@@icemancometh1621😂
Especially for people buying them in bulk. For the price of like 3 or 4 of these you could just get a firearm lol
You just knew the comments were going to be golden on this one.
Only reason I'm here! 😂
😂😂😂👊
Yes I did....
Hello, add some glitter.
$80 for a one-time use device - either the inventor is going to be rich very quickly or he's going to go bankrupt quickly, there's no in between with that price.
sure there is, the inventor is only paying 1.50 ea. so they have plenty of room to wiggle, just gouging the consumer intentionally. - and thery wont change the price watch, so your right with the last part. LOL
So, what you're saying is, that for the cost of about 5 of these I could buy a decent handgun which only costs about fifty cents per use.
Not in Hawaii...
Never being a Blast Stick to a gunfight.
Bring*
🤣
$50 for a practice one with only baby powder 😂
Yeah, the "for real one" is $80 🤣🤣
You could make your own. Just make a potato gun, with that size pipe, and put a bag of pepper in it.
@@Typical.Anomaly and 1 time use?
@@FeatherXno, it’s reloadable with peppercorns and guava seeds.
Isn't that lethal by it self?? I read that... talc being freaking lethal.... so...50 to kill in a long run, and 80 to merely irritate! What the....
When someone tries to break into your home while you're there that means they're probably armed. This isn't the solution against a gun, knife, machete, or hatchet. HPD and the local prosecutor have law-abiding citizens in fear of going to jail for protecting themselves and their loved ones in their own home that they're coerced into believing this is a viable replacement for a firearm. It's not. When seconds count, HPD is minutes away. If lucky they'll get there in time to trample the crime scene aftermath.
Hell this isn't even a good form of self defense against a home invader with a full bladder.
Hornet spray $10-12
Dirty : )
@@sidvicious332 hell yeah
@@sidvicious332 just desert's
Lol. Robbers come in with guns and you have powder spray.
😂😂😂😂😂
This reminds me of the " no no square " song they teach idiots to sing in case of sxial assualt.
The one for self defense contains pepper spray. Try paying closer attention. 😁
Aren't guns illegal in Hawaii ?oh yeah Democrats and their crime rate
They can't shoot you if they can't see you. And they can't fire a gun if both hands are busy rubbing their eyes. Did you not hear what's in it? Pepper and PAVA, which contains capsaicin, the hot stuff in peppers like habaneros. Get that in your eyes and you're blind for a while.
lol, check the direction of the wind before POPPING OFF.
Same problem with regular mace too.
. . . . and it's always windy in Hawaii.
good thing that It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
😂😂😂😂😂
@@likeanyonecaresabouthandles fuck a firework. you gonna need a swtich in Philly...
get silly ehhh get silly eh. lolol
2 Or more people break into your home and each have a gun. You have a one shot blast stick. Do you have them draw straws to see which one you shoot the blast stick at?
$80 is crazy, $50 for a test shot of baby power is even more insane 😂😂😂
If you this device on the wrong person. I hate to say this but your family and friends will be coming to your funeral.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Facts
I’m guess only dumb old people think this is smart
Unlikely if you use it correctly. It's very effective against attackers.
@Joreel no it is not. Be an adult grow up and get a firearm. You and you alone are responsible for you and your families safety. Stop playing around with toys and devices and get something that is actually effective.
A sucker born every minute - wish I had thought of this 👍
“Feel it, it’s hard” LMAO 😂
That's what he said!
(Finally, I get to use the tired old joke!)
$80 For a one time use is ridiculous, especially since its literally peper spray in a powder form which people can buy online for cheaper.🙄 Just buy pepper spray or a pew pew you can use both more then once.
No pew pews in hawaii, they are anti-constitution.
Crazy how much money is being made on this. Since they are C02 canisters I wonder if they are a common size and can be loaded again? Single use is terrible.
Cans of bear spray are huge for $30. This is a scam.
@@cncwizardPepper spray is far superior for use on humans. Save the bear spray for use on bears.
My OC spray was $10 and has about 50 blasts.
Worked in corrections for thirty years. Hyped up , drugged up and they don't even react.
That's why I carry a blade.
@@user-kh9rv5tm2n don't bring a knife to a gunfight
Yup, pepper spray and tasers are useless against drugged up suspects. Tasers in particular are laughably ineffective. the prongs usually just snag up in clothing and never hit, and a quick hand swipe by the target can sever the wires.
@@mrvwbug4423 Unless you know how to throw them. Some body runs out of bullets before doing damage to the guy w the knife,it might be a bad night for the gunslinger.
@@mrvwbug4423how bout a Bible
Lol you might as well buy a confetti popper
I have a blast stick, but it works a little different than this thing..
This is my BOOM STICK!
As a criminal I can test they work great... My victims go down and give up their wallet without any fight
nicely done, you make satan..i mean uhh santa proud...yeah
The wallet has only $5 so you lost $75 🤯😎
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Truesdale22 Hahahaha!!!
@@Truesdale22 great point! 😅
The next item banned in schools.
Unlike the demonstration video set up in FAVORABLE conditions, in the real world we have this thing called wind.
A box of 38rounds is like 30 bucks and thats 50 uses😂 Im not concerned with the well being of my attacker but definitely concerned about my finances 😮
80 bucks???? Rip off.
I commented the same thing before I read your comment.
Better get a gun or learn martial arts or both.
Make chili peppah wada and spray!
@@mjblue84 Yup the main ingredient is Cayenne pepper but you can use any kind of spicy pepper. Heck one big bottle of Tobasco if go in your eye will burn like heck. lol
Should be $5 max
Meanwhile in Saipan we’re still using machete and pvc pipe 🥴
Classics never go out of style.
Both of which are probably better than this unless you're physically limited.
Just the fact that you have to be 21 to buy one is a HUGE RED FLAG not to mention how costly they are, these are OBVIOUSLY NOT really produced for protection. Like only adults ever get attacked? Something smells very spammy.
"Hold up a sec. Trade places with me so the wind doesn't blow this back in my face. There we go. **pop**"
$80.00? That’s steep.
And it's too large to carry in pants pocket.
@@ThumbdownMan Pocket carry, women would say is that a blast stick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Your funeral costs after relying on this thing instead of being a grown adult and getting a firearm for protection is whats truly going to be steep
More like you getting robbed at 80 bucks
Walking down the street like Harry Potter with my new Blast Stick wand looking for Lord Valdemort going to be Blast this Halloween.
the illusion of safety is always easier to sell than real safety
Why not carry a gun for protection? You can protect yourself from more than one assailant. And it's cheaper to practice with
While Hawaii now has concealed carry permits your only allowed to carry in the county you were issued the permit. Even then they throw a ton of restrictions in your way. The clueless will buy a ton of these sticks thinking they are now protected.
Because Hawaii believes that criminals' rights come before those of law-abiding citizens.
OOI. FDJT
@@OOICU812 Their use of force laws are consistent with most other states.
You just said the worst thing a Hawaiian wants to hear. You’re hurting their feelings
O.K.. But what happens when the wind is blowing??? 😮
If the wind blows, you die
cuz the wind never blows in hawaii right
Just ask your attacker to kindly stand still just a little downwind from you.
Then you'll get yourself a nice pepper powder facial mask😂
I'll scare you away with my Party Popper from the dollar store 😂
I used pistol cost around $200. This might scare away a bear or a robber but you only get one shot.
Saw this and decided to built one. Mine turned out way better and was free to make with stuff i had around the house minus the cost of the co2 cartrage. Made my shells packed with diatomaceous earth and ground carolina reaper seeds. Pathetic company is trying to profit of crime. Selling them for that price should be a crime!
Blame the government for failing to maintain a safe society and banning much more effective self defense devices.
co2 cartridges are pretty cheap if you buy in bulk at a big box retail store. Got a 40 pack of crossman 12g for $20.62.
@@jollyroger35 A government-delivered safe society is China or Japan. I don't think I want that system.
What is the trigger mechanism?
You should make a video of how to construct it, even if it's just showing the parts and explaining what they are.
@@omarabdelrahman3739facts. Freedom is dangerous and I’ll take it over any other option everyday. It’s up to us to protect ourselves and our family. Buy guns
A gun is also a deterrent...
The ultimate self defense weapon.
Hawaii is the worst state when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. This contraption is a joke 😂
@@owenriggs8518 - So you have a choice; a guaranteed $80 loss for this stick, or a possible $40 loss from a robbery - hmmmm
True and its the #1 choice of 2nd amendment gun nuts who want to murder people...
@cjsmith8280
Yes, but the thrust of this device is 'non-lethal.' The clue is in the video title. An attempt to stop all the untrained, unhinged wackos out there racking up the firearm homicide rate.
A waste of money.
Pocket sand, anyone?
SHI SHAW!
Don't bring powder to a gun fight!
Samurai sword looks way cooler.
IDK about Hawaii, but in Cali, you can carry any length blade openly in a sheath on your belt, even a katana.
Just like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, dude showing off with his big scimitar, gets ghosted in 1 shot by Indy haha don't bring a sword to a gunfight.
Too expensive!!! Not worth it
Hawaii. Wind. No one thought that the wind might make this USELESS????
Why would you want non lethal to use against someone trying to harm you? What is making you all so cowardly?
Did Hawaii ban guns and mace?
It's very hard to buy a firearm there because they believe the constitution doesn't apply to their land.
Chillli pepper water in Walmart spray bottle...nuff
yeah esp win the wind is blowing back on you. best thing is a ultra high out put mini flashlight, u just cant see.
@@kastelvetro1491 or a Gl0ck
Oc spray is 5-10m Scoville, your chili pepper isn't even 100
$5 ?
Up to $100,000 fine for using bear spray in urban area in Saskatchewan Canada. Naturally, the criminals are still using it whenever they want, while people trying to protect themselves get to cry.
Arizona is an open carry state. I don't think these will go over well here.
Carry a bag of powdered cayenne pepper great for barbecue and making others think twice.
Exactly, they see you carrying around a bag strap to your side, they won't go near you,,, they think you are a crazy Mofo high on drugs :D
This will get into the wrong hands, just watch.
The first 200 was purchased by thieves.
No because the wrong hands want something silent, like a knife.
Oh, you mean, like the INTERNET??
Exactly what I thought too.
Just like guns lol. Whatever you bring here, some of it is gonna get taken eventually by the wrong people. Like yes criminals buy stolen, but where do those people they buying it from get it? The sky?
Is there a tar and feather version?
Yeah you make it yourself.
Lol. This is a joke right? 😂 I mean this is beyond ridiculous.
Ninja!!!!! Vanish!!!!!!
You had better pray the wind is not blowing in your direction😮
Why is it so expensive?
same reason Apple is.... people are buying it!
What would happen if you removed the pepper powder and replaced it with a roll of dimes?
@Your-feelings-dont-matter and it would cost you even more!
Then you will be robbed
Just be careful using a baton and hurting an assailant, you still can get sued😂.
Not really just don't be the attacker.
Dog spray is 20$ 💀
Pocket sand is 0$
I can't wait for the "Blast Stick Challenges"
only one time? weak
one time $80 use.
Wtf is this now, so no resposibility now just if you have the cash
"And its just gonna blast.... one time...." lmfao
Let's hope the wind is at your back when you use it. Splendid demonstration of "There's a sucker born every minute".
Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity...
To seize everything you ever wanted... one moment...
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
And the Koo Koo guy will also pull the trigger on his gun..🤣
So? He would anyway. I'd rather resist.
@@SmallParadiseKona
That is if you can still, crazy people who do that will pull the trigger when you pull out something like that!!u think you have a chance?
Looks like they are reloadable cant imagine the things that people are going to be reloading them with😮
Question, how can we make this Auto or Semi Auto ?
They grab that away from you then what screammmmm lol
Better they grab that, than grabbing your firearm and using it against you.
@@SmallParadiseKona Only if you don't know what you doing.
But you can only use it once, which means you have to keep buying new ones. $80.00 each can add up pretty quick too.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for the community 🕊️
1:26 “Feel it, it’s hard.” 😂
it doesnt work on everyone
Look into the Byrna products way better.
$50 for a practice stick insane
Disclaimer: Not for use on windy days or life and death scenarios.
Apply for concealed carry. Get a baton.
But it is Hawaii
So squatters can use these too? Is there a check to see who can buy them?
They ask if you're a squatter before they sell it
you think they can afford it?
They make pepper ball guns that will create much more deterence, and they hold multiple shots (5 or 6) for multiple attackers. They fire both irritant and impact balls. They can be used over and over. They don't cost much more than $80 for a decent one. Then the ammo balls are pretty affordable for impact balls, a little pricey for pava, and tear gas rounds, but they pack a punch!
You can even get extra spicy, extra thumpy, and extra cheapy for everything from practice/hobby shooting to rather effective self-defense. Several people have volunteered to get shot with them to test efficacy, and almost all of them say you don't want none of it. Even the pepper/pava rounds cause impact pain, and then the snot and tears commence.
Even for 2A guys they’re a nice Segway between a harsh word and lethal force.
The price is criminal
lol that’s pricey what happened to the smaller hand held types years ago
Damn what if you miss the one and only shot
The muggers fainted as soon as I told them how much I paid for it !
Pepper and Pava. Sounds like a cartoon duo.
@1:07 lol wtf
Just get bear spray. It's cheaper and effective
That is 70% more expensive than a regular mace at a regular store.
The “blast stick” looks like something taken out of an 80’s ninja movie 🤣🤣
" feel it its hard "
the better to screw you out of 80 bucks with
$80 😳😳🥺🥺😦🥺😳😱😱
Those will really piss off the guy pointing a gun at you.
Thats a nice sidekick to a firearm...but definitely have the firearm. This wont do anything against a group of attackers
Powder shot into the wind. What can go wrong.
