Batons are cylindrical clubs made of wood, rubber, plastic or metal. They are used to enforce laws by law-enforcement, corrections staff, security personnel and military personnel. In addition to their defensive use, batons are commonly used for compliance and other tasks. Here are some uses of batons.
Expandable batons
The tactical weapon of choice is the expandable batons. They have a cylindrical outer shaft and two or more telescoping innershafts that lock together when expanded. Most are made from steel. However, lighter versions of these can be made from an aluminum alloy. They are often used in combat situations and can be more effective than standard batons. There are many styles and types available depending on the manufacturer.
Some batons can also be equipped with a tactical flashlight that is installed on one end. These batons provide powerful light that can be used to check suspicious individuals, vehicles, and other situations. They can dazzle attackers making them less likely for arrest. These expandable batons are made of the same materials as normal flashlights, but they have an added benefit of being able to expand rapidly with the next stroke.
Telescopic batons
Telescopic batons can be used in many situations and are a common way to defend yourself. They are small and lightweight, so they can be carried around easily. They are also a useful weapon in emergency situations, as they can be stored in a purse or pocket, or placed behind a door to fend off an aggressive individual.
Telescopic Batons are a good choice for non lethal self-defense. They can be especially useful in situations when a person is likely to be attacked by a knife and/or a gun. They can be carried and used easily due to their portability.
Stun batons
Stun guns and stun gun use electric current to temporarily disable an attacker. A one-second blast will stop an attacker dead in their tracks. A second or third-second blast can knock an attacker to the ground, causing muscle spasms and a confused mental state. A stun baron, which is fully charged, will imprison an attacker by interfering with his or her muscles. It can also cause a loss or control of balance.
Stun batons are not a substitute for firearms or police officers. Nevertheless, if a situation arises that calls for self-defense, a stun baton is an excellent self-defense tool. These self-defense weapon are practical and versatile. They can be used for a variety purposes. The BadAss Stun Gun Baton, for example, is a multi-purpose self-defense tool that can be used both as a baton and as a stun gun. The rechargeable battery powers the baton and lasts over five years. To provide light in dark areas, the baton has a 120-lumen LED flashlight.
Straightsticks
There are many types of batons that police officers can use, including straightsticks as well as expandable batons. These weapons can be used to block and strike, and others can even break glass. These weapons are commonly worn on the belts police officers, and they are also used in many police agencies. Some police agencies actually use the same baton type as their civilian counterparts.
The traditional police baton is made of hardwood. But, it can be made out of other materials like plastic. They are typically used to control civil unrest and have a length of nine to ninety cm. These batons are used in numerous situations by officers riding on horseback. The straight, fixed-length baton is one of the oldest types. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Egypt. They are a long cylindrical with a molded grip, and rounded tips.

How To
How to properly use pepper spray for self-defense
Gloves are the best way for you to avoid accidentally shooting yourself in your face when using pepper spray. This will prevent accidental shooting from the gun.
You should also aim your pepper spray at the eyes. These are the most sensitive organs of the human body. Spraying pepper spray directly at the eyes could cause serious injury. Because the spray won't cause any burns, it is best to aim at the nose.
You need to hold the canister tightly in your hand when using pepper spray. Because if the canister falls, it could burst open and spray everywhere. Once you're ready to fire, slowly squeeze the trigger. Keep the trigger down so that pepper spray doesn't go off.
Pepper spray is most effective if it is directly applied to the eye. However, aim for the nose if you cannot reach the eyes.
Once the pepper spray hits the mark, the attacker may feel very uncomfortable. You may notice that you feel nauseated and dizzy. He/she will likely experience intense itching/burning sensations.
Once the attacker is dead, get away quickly. Don't let him/her get near you again. Call the police immediately.
