MTW-825 CANN-KS 2.5 Million Volt Stun Gun Flashlight

What you need to know: (if your does not perform as mine does, below, send it back!!!)My stun/light continues to perform FLAWLESSLY, AND HERE IS WHY:DO NOT DISCHARGE FOR OVER 1/2 SECOND (just long enough to establish it has a good charge).OR, risk destroying your stun/light, YOURSELF.ALL STUN MANUFACTURERS "Proper Care" is below:QUOTE:Testing your Stun Gun:Fire a test charge of only 1/2 second duration.DO NOT fire the unit across the test probes for more than 1/2 second. Firing in a continuous blast for more than one second can damage the unit and void your warranty. The current has no place to go so it travels from one probe to the other and back into the internal circuitry.The stun gun will not be damaged by firing the charge into an assailant through the contact probes even if you fire continuous blasts. The load on the circuits is much less in stunning an attacker than it is in test firing. So, when testing, make your shots brief". (unquote)PERFORMANCE:YOUR stun/light SHOULD have a great/strong/white flashlight beam.YOUR stun/light SHOULD NOT GET HOT WHILE CHARGING (hardly even warm after 12 hours).(If it does, the batteries are defective and you should SEND IT BACK for exchange NOW )YOUR stun/light should HOLD ITS' CHARGE for a week or more.Charging is by "trickle charge or has diminishing circuitry to drop down voltage to avoid over-charging", says I. I know this because MY stun/light was charged for 18 hours (until I got tired of waiting for the RED CHARGE LIGHT to go out or turn to green, which it does NOT.STUN/LIGHT NEVER GOT MORE THAN SLIGHTLY WARM CHARGING FOR 18 HOURS.NEITHER SHOULD YOURS! (If it does, send it back. IT WILL FAIL YOU.)The charge light should come on when you plug it in and STAY on until removed from the 120v outlet.OPERATIONALLY, you should have the REAR SWITCH OFF and the FLASHLIGHT SWITCH ON, WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE!!! USE IT !This way, if you use the rear switch to turn on and off the flashlight YOU CAN NOT ACCIDENTALLY FIRE THE STUN FEATURE. (Think about it, if you don't get it at first thought)More on this near bottom of previous post below.THe reason for all this info is the product is GOOD (if not defective. EVERYBODY HAS DEFECTS. GIVE THE SELLER A CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD BEFORE YOU CONDEMN a good product because you got a fluke!AND, don't throw your money away and complain here because you "just threw it in a drawer"AND YOUR MONEY IN THE TRASH!FIRST DAY: previous post:Received in labeled/lined gift box bubble wrapped 2 days early. (Nice going, USPS)Had enough charge, out of the box, to test flashlight and stun functions.Both worked flawlessly!Put it on charge after test. Red charge light came on when plugged in and has been on for at least 6 hours with no change.It hasn't gotten even warm on this first charge for six hours.I did use the flashlight after 6 hours for no more than 3 minutes (night time) to evaluate the beam pattern in the woods. Then, I plugged it back into the wall to continue the charging process.Instructions do not mention over-charge protection or red (charging) to green (or red goes OFF) to indicate to remove from charging. Amazon is emailing other purchasers to email me their experiences and answer my question! (Amazon does it again!)THIS IS NEEDED INFORMATION LEAST WE "KILL" IT FROM OVER-CHARGING. (Will follow up)So far, which doesn't establish anything except, if it continues to perform as it does now, I couldn't be more pleased.It is EXACTLY as advertised (cannot see prongs...they are black too)The FLASHLIGHT beam pattern is terrific! Wide beam with double bright SMALL center spot in one light. Tighter spot than my UltraFire 501.b T6 tactical light and nearly as bright! (it does run a 6v battery)WARNING:I don't believe testing the stun function for over .5 second is a good idea.These things are made to be IN CONTACT to discharge into >90% water. They are not made to see how long the battery lasts making crackling noises. It's got to be hard on the insulation to push and sustain an arc with no loss of current into a BODY. Think of an empty microwave oven. Want to see the microwave crap out QUICK...don't put anything in it and run it ONE MINUTE. If that doesn't break it right then, it won't be long before it's useless (I know. I've accidentally done it to two of them in 18 years).I will update this review after I have had it for some time even if I haven't used the stun on something (as long as it will do a .5 sec. test) because the flashlight IS VERY GOOD. It IS bright and the beam pattern is a very good combination of spot/flood in one. I would use this without hesitation for going into the woods at night, BUT I would bring another light and use it until things got uncertain, then I would want the stun feature available at FULL POWER. The SNNAAPPP will frighten animals and make them think twice on short discharge.STRONG SUGGESTION:You can EASILY hit the stun button after turning off the light with the switch next to the RED stun button (with the power still ON) and zap the crap out of yourself or just surprise yourself and watch the animals scatter).I keep the LIGHT SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION AND THE REAR SWITCH OFF!That way, when I need the light I use the REAR MOUNTED switch to turn it on and off, NOT THE LIGHT SWITCH ITSELF.Since you cannot shock (use stun) with the light ON this makes it a DOUBLE SAFETY against inadvertently hitting stun (power ON, flashlight OFF).(Too bad they didn't figure that out and put it in the directions.It takes way less than a second to slide the light switch off and roll your finger onto the stun button in one motion.USING STUN ON SOMEONE: (Light ON/STUN LOCKED OFF)IF you are on the receiving end of this (perpetrator) you will be partially blinded by the light in your eyes, then sudden darkness (as your eyes are adjusting to recent BRIGHTNESS), you'll not see the stun-light (turned off) coming toward you and remember very little when you wake up (optional). (If I SAW a flashlight coming toward me I'd flail my arms, wouldn't you?)Think about this. I did.As with all not lethal weapons, once used on attacker, don't let them get their hands on you. If you have to use it, make sure they aren't coming after you OR depend on an electrical device to save your life again and again until "help arrives", folks.Actually, after using this, pepper spray would be an excellent idea!Get their HANDS TOO! And get the heck out of there, quick, while calling police.If we're all really lucky, we'll just use the very good rechargeable flashlight portion and have confidence that we are armed, if we need to use it.I wrote all of this in the hope that it will help someone at a critical time and for proper performance and evaluation of the product you will receive if you order this item.Too bad the vendors don't someone do the "product support, description, operation, performance" pro-actively. It would make for better results for everyone.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. This thing had my cheeks hurting from excessive grinning. Though this is my first stun gun, I've played with friends before. I live right next to the ghetto of my town (some would say in it) and i've numerous times had to run outside with a flashlight and chase down people trying to break into my car(s). So i thought this would the perfect device for me.First things first. This beautiful item came with a holster that attaches to a belt, a wall charger and the gun itself. The holster appears to be a heavy quality materials with a velcro latch, so if you decide to use this, you should be able to quickly rip it from your side directly into action! The wall charger is very short, though this isn't a problem since i don't see me needing to use this device while it charges. Onto the best part. Now for the $18 i bought it for, i had very low expectations(didn't even think it would work). Now in the small(less than adequate) pamphlet it comes with, it states that this is an upgraded model than the one advertised, and this appears to be true as the stun prongs are now not even visible like they are in the picture. Other than a tiny lightning symbol above the taze button, you CANNOT tell this is a stun gun. At all. The only way you would know is if you own one too, or are extremely suspicious of flashlights. And what sells this the most, is how well this light works. I've owned a ton of flashlights, i buy them like food. This is THE BEST LED flashlight i own. Its extremely powerful for its size and price. For $18 dollars this is worth buying 3x over just for the light power and non-dependancy on batteries. The stun gun itself, I can't really say how effective it is as i haven't tried it on anyone. But it will definately scare someone into submission. Now it doesn't seem to be as loud as my buddies, but they also have the typical rectangle ones that are completely obviously a weapon. Don't get me wrong, this guy definately isn't silent by any means at all. Whether being really loud or just loud is a pro or con, i suppose that depends on the user. If somehow its weaker than it says and I have to hold it on someone or zap them a few extra times, this will most definately not be a complaint here as if i catch someone trying to steal from me, or hurt me, I will be MORE than glad to inflict as many zaps as necessary to subdue said attacker.Secondly, its got decent weight to it, almost all metal and seems to be high quality stuff. Looks like it can take some abuse. To work it is simple. As a safety to yourself, to use any part of the device you first have to flip a switch on the bottom of the shaft which turns on the power to both the light and taser. After that there is a swith and a button. (Button above the switch). To use the light, you flip the swith, to hurt someone, you hit the button. One thing to note is that while the flashlight is on, you cannot use the taser. Some people complained about this, but i believe it is a safety feature for yourself so that if you're using the flashlight you don't have to worry about accidently zapping yourself as the zap button is very easy to press.The pamphlet of directions is the only thing lacking in this package. No where on the box or the pamphlet of directions does it state the estimated volts, i only know from the title on amazon. The directions also tell you to charge the device fully before first use. However it fails to mention how you know when its fully charged. There is a red LED at the bottom when you plug it in but i'm not sure if it ever turns green or if it's soley red and how long it takes to charge. I searched online and the best i could find was a similar model with similar voltage and it said that 8 to 10 hours should put it at full. I charged it for 8 because i was anxious to try it and it seems to work fine, the light was just as strong as when plugged in, so i assume it was full.If you're still on the fence about getting this sweet, sweet device, let it be known that i just ordered 4 more to give as gifts to family and friends. I would reccomend this to EVERYONE and ANYONE who needs a stungun, or even just a strong rechargable flashlight.Pros:Sturdy, Strong device.Works better than it says.Flashlight is the strongest i own out of MANY.Rechargable.Safety features.Comes with everything you need.Came in the mail a day earlier than it said it would.Most importantly, comes with peace of mind.Cons: Directions do not tell you everything you'd like to/need to know.BUY THIS.

I got it in the mail yesterday and it already had some juise in it. The light isn't two-hundred lumens but it is plenty bright. The tazer part works very well, it would stop a man and make him back up "fast". If you've never owned a tazer this is perfect, it has a on/off switch on the butt of the flashlight so there won't buzz yourself by mistake, it has a cap on the top( another safe guard) which has to be removed to zap anything, the sheath isn't the best but it'll do, the fact that you can't have the light on if you want to zap is a little annoying but for the price you pay I would say this is the best deal your going to get. Over all I like it, I've tested it and it should it was capable. A foot note: online it says this is a 2.5 million volt tazer but then it says its a 2.9 million volt tazer somewhere else, but get this on the box you get the tazer in it says its a 12 million volt Razer. So I don't know, all I know is it works
