We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy.
We do? What is wrong with a baseball bat? Or a sock filled with quarters?
Both require a lot more effort to stop a threat and can be captured and disarm you at their effective range.
Held in hand. Point. “Shoot”.
DMT clouds making them connect to the universe and lay down 4 minutes
Fentanyl dart gun
Anti-cop weapon.
High voltage contact shirt. You touch me, you fry
also good for making grilled cheese sandwiches
The best defense is avoidance. To that end, a personal time-travel / prognostication device that could both predict danger and chronoport you back to before danger was imminent would be the ultimate defense, though suppose not strictly a “weapon”.
Put it in front of a group of DND players, or any other table top RPG really.
They’ll weaponize it before the session is over.
Laser eyes.
Now you can just look at something you want to destroy without using your arms.
Telekinesis helmets.
Now you can just think about destroying something you can’t even see.
Foot held point shoot thing
Magical aura that reads intentions and zaps people. Diablo 2 paladin auras essentially.😺
Body odour
Or that guy from Mystery Men who farts.
A gun that shoots tiny missiles that aim at the attackers butthole and once they hit they release a jet of freezing water up their butt.
Wait, why would you want to make your attackers horny?
Ummm, adding an optional pepper spray missile if the first one was not effective…
I’ve read somewhere and I’m not sure if it’s true that there is a device that can be inserted inside the vagina which will essentially bite the rapist’s penis and the only way to remove it without destroying the penis is via surgery.
I believe it’s called Rapex.
personal satellite with Hatsune Miku licensed voice assistant for targeting and fire control. A few lasers of different frequency, a railgun, maybe some emergency snack pods with little chutes.
This is why I have cannons loaded with grapeshot in every room of my house. Never know when I’ll need to remove a thief from existence.
Safety is all about preparation.
Probably some kind of autonomous thingy. Like, a drone with a Taser or some shit.
Temporary blinding LED flash weapon, stink bombs, vomiting, reciting the Captain Ahab monologue from Moby Dick where he’s telling them to split their lungs with blood and thunder and crack their oars and backs.
Captain Ahab monologue
This one’s kind of cool. What about a voice modulator that makes it seems like your voice is their own internal monologue and you can disarm them by boring them to death or confusing them.
Something that makes me disappear instantly and teleports me to the pub down the street. Cold beer is better than hot fight.
What if it’s a bar fight
