Based on some of the damage that weapon did in the video, I don't expect that is non lethal by any means. That looks like deadly force to me.

note that in their demonstration video, they're very careful not to show you the butt of the gun - I will bet that it's plugged in. I seriously doubt they've got sufficient power supply in that profile.

Legally, deadly force. Practically, hell no. Not trusting my life to a metal disc with the same velocity as a BB pellet.

Consider me unimpressed.

First, there just isn’t a ton of energy in that “round”. They’re claiming Second, the disk shape of the projectile means that it’s going to be impossible to aim effectively. That thing is going to have significant vertical dispersion even at very short ranges.

It’s a toy.

Wouldn't want to use it for self-defense. Would just mildly irrate any attacker most likely.

Nevertheless, still a very cool concept and slick implementation.

How would a cordless nail gun do in comparison?

Yeah…sorry. If someone breaks into my house, they’re getting a bit more than 16J pointed their way.

An extremely dangerous toy.
