Security With Advanced Technology announced today that its new non-lethal personal protection device, the Avurt IM-5 launcher, has commenced production and will be available for pre-sales initially on its new website, www.avurt.com, beginning August 1, 2007.
“We are excited about completing the design and development of the first Avurt launcher as well as introducing our new website and commencing pre-sale orders,” said Scott Sutton, president and CEO of Security With Advanced Technology. “Our effort to design a non-lethal personal protection device that is safe, reliable, and effective is approaching the finish line. With the introduction of the IM-5 launcher, consumers now have an unmatched option for non-lethal personal protection.”
The Avurt IM-5 launcher is a small, handheld device that launches up to five PAVA filled projectiles at attackers up to 40 feet away. It’s safe, easy to use, and highly effective at disabling attackers before they get close enough to do harm. The IM-5 launcher’s PAVA filled projectiles are non-lethal, but will leave an attacker choking and temporarily blinded, allowing a victim can escape to safety. It protects from greater distances than Mace or aerosol pepper sprays, and it doesn’t have the potential to be lethal the way firearms or stun guns do.
It seems like this product will help people defend themselves more effectively. Of course, avoidance works better than anything. One can best protect themselves by not getting into situations where they need to fight back. Nonetheless, people can fight back quicker when they do not have to worry about killing anyone.
I hope more people, especially women, arm themselves with these non-lethal self-defense weapons, and take classes to learn to use them effectively as well as learn other self-defense techniques such as avoidance and hand-to-hand combat.
