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.

I’d argue it’s less dangerous than, for instance, a 5” racing quadcopter.
How would a cordless nail gun do in comparison?

I suppose that’s fair. I’d argue it’s less dangerous than, for instance, a 5” racing quadcopter.
They claim 16J. Well, a typical - Germany Legal - Airsoft gun has 7.5J, so we're talking about toy-level of energy.
Now, looking at some 9mm ammo, you have around 500-570J depending on type - Ball vs. Hollow Point.
Yeah, it's very clear to me, what I want to use if I have to defend myself.
Electric coil, non-lethal, defense weapon. DemolitionRanch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izW1X2555Wg
Advertising this for self-defense is rather reckless, considering that people may rely on that.
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.
