Sorry, not so much on beer. The reason it works inside sharks and bears is that it lowers the temp at the same time that it expands inside their body. Not to be condescending, but the science is PV=NRT. You would end up blowing the beer out of the can/cup/keg.
That being said, this would be perfect for that bear that's been trying to follow me around. Or the next time someone bothers me while i'm playing sc

What a horrible way to die. You'd lay there with your insides exploded outward and you wouldn't bleed to death for awhile because your organs are frozen.
|
PV=nrt doesn't make someone look condescending. It's a gas law i learned in chemistry last year, which was when i was in 10th grade.
And how do they expect peopel to stab sharks? And obviously you're going to be able to ahve the time to stab a bear. A bit unrealistic, but nevertheless vicious.

I'm going to have to remember that TL.net knows physics...though there's gotta be more things you can do with it other than pwning the local wildlife and viscous melons.
Would be great in a Rambo movie, as an arrowhead. Or savior could hang on to one waiting for FBH to do his thing.

How new is this? I could probably still buy one since there would be no bullshit law against owning one yet. (Good old Canada)

Never again will I fear bears when I wander around the wilderness aimelessly.
Yay for the wasp knife!

Fuck yeah! I've always wanted to kill a shark.

You people are sickening disgusting. How can you be excited by something like this?

just stabbing someone isnt enough now ? I dont get the point of this weapon, if your prepared to freeze someones organs from the inside until they die in horrible pain you would have no problem shooting them too, why not get a gun, this is sadistic and should not be sold, i doubt many bears or sharks will fall prey to this.

I see them falling prey to it, but managing to kill their attacker in the same instance, its a two for one deal.

Lol I am still waiting for the joke.... this just seems fucking rediculous.... a knife that shoots a gas projectile and explodes things while freezing their organs? LOL?

they should for sure make people have licenses for this, and yes some people will use them on bears and sharks, but as soon as it hits the streets its gonna be nasty, most people are morons who are likely to stab them selfs as much as others, i just think this isnt something that should ever be widely available as a *self defense* weapon or anything along those lines, whats next, pepper spray that sprays face melting acid ?

I think the idea is that it's a last resort if you were in the wild, or the victim of that very rare shark attack. It's not for people hunting specifically hunting sharks and bears necessarily (though if they were, they'd have guns TOO), it's for those rare instances when the shark or bear is inadvertently provoked and you don't have much else choice. There are people who have survived shark attacks after being bitten, by hitting the shark in the eye... That requires a degree of precision. If you had this thing, your chances of survival I imagine would increase quite a bit.
However, it's an extremely dangerous weapon and will likely be abused vs people as well, which is sad.

I don't think that's exactly classified as a knife lol. It's purpose is more similar to an ultra heavy duty.. hunting syringe .
|
If that freeze ball can kill sharks and bears, it can most definitely kill humans.
|
Knife crime is already insane in the UK. Now with super-fatal knives and the ease of acquiring these knives, I can see why the UK would not be particularly pleased.

Ahahaha.... There's at least one optimist in Manchester.
I think the weirdest thing about this knife will be its effects on self defence laws. You're not exactly allowed to shoot a person with a gun because they're coming at you with a knife, it's considered escalating the situation unless you absolutely have reason to believe you'll die if you don't... but with this weapon, how do you know it's a knife, and not a freezer syringe? It's not science fiction anymore, weapons do not look like what they are... The biggest mistake with this knife, possibly, is that it looks too much like a normal knife.
Because its really fucking cool.

Indeed.
From these, 11 per cent of all wounding, grievous bodily harm (GBH) or robberies were committed with a knife in the Thames Valley.
...
Coupled with findings in The Economist, the British Crime Survey reveals how the proliferation of knife crime now means that Britain is the most dangerous country in the Western world for violent attacks (5.7 attacks per 100 people), the Netherlands and USA are joint second with 4.2.
http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/s/2032846_rising_knife_crime_due_to_police_red_tape_says_mp
This is basically the American equivalent of if, say, Malaysia were to start producing squirt-guns that fired hydrochloric acid and sold for for 20usd, complete with recharges, online. They'd look like your standard Nerf guns.
I myself find this a rather disturbing invention, and with the lack of any sort of restriction on it, actually kind of scary. I mean in the UK it's friggin outlawed to sell knives to people under 18, as it is, but obviously that's not gonna stop dedicated people from getting some.

I think regulating the wasp knife will be similar to regulating guns.
As for regulating knives in general... I can see how they could regulate knives that are intended to be used as weapons, but I'm sure every household has multiple very sharp knives in the kitchen for cooking. There's no way they can regulate those.
Not to mention that if they only started trying to regulate knives recently, then it'll take a while for those regulations to have an effect.

Except that the guy with the gun should always have the upper hand and the knife guy must be pretty damn crazy to attack someone with a gun. Its more like, you dont shoot someone simply because they have a knife.

It's easy to say, but in reality, it's easy as crap to smuggle a knife (mix this knife in with kitchenware, I'd guess 99.99999% of the time no one will think hard about what TYPE of knife it is), and considering this knife isn't sold by guns dealers, but instead of yet-unregulated types of stores (maybe I'm wrong, and such stores are regulated far more heavily than I know), and the fact that some Asian countries apparently? sell it "OTC" is even more worrying.
As someone said, this wouldn't be so insane a problem if this were some sort of gun-fired dart, ala tranquilizer, but rather that it looks exactly like a knife, thereby complicating would-be regulation. Just my opinion, though, we'll see, I guess. But if 18-year old mafia start stabbing each other with wasp knives instead of regular knives and causing 100% fatalities, I don't think we'd be saying "oh, badass!" anymore.

Well the deal is, that if you have the option to run (as you do normally from someone wielding a knife, or giant biceps attached to fists), you're choosing to kill them over simply protecting yourself, which is a crime. You could argue you could still run away from someone holding this knife, but in this case if they nab you as you're getting out of there and press that button... + you're a lot more scared... Law has to take that into account.

I guess someone wanted a more portable bang stick. That's a pole with a pistol or shotgun shell at the tip, which goes off when thrust against a shark. It isn't the bullet that does the damage so much as the blast of propellent gas (this is why you shouldn't fuck around with blanks).
http://www.bangsticks.com/
What I don't see is any realistic test of effectiveness. It won't have the concussive force of a conventional powerhead, and it seems complicated and slow to use (stab, hold blade in target, hold down button). It's hard to imagine a situation where you wouldn't prefer either a powerhead or a pistol, although the portability and secondary uses are nice.
I don't think they've really tested it properly on live targets. I think they just made up their detailed claims on what it does to the target based on straightforward, inexpert thinking.
Compressed air is certainly a harmful thing to inject into a living target, but they're making some very strong claims about effectiveness and specific advantages. I particularly doubt the claim that it floats sharks up and away rather than blasting blood all over the place and provoking aggression in other sharks.

In a survival situation, would anyone really have the guts to stab a friggin bear? Even if you had the guts, how the hell would you even get to stab it in the first place, especially in an area like the stomach.

I don't see this as too much of a problem. For 200 euro most gangster street kids would rather use a normal knife and just stab twice if they wanted to kill. If they wanted to scare a gun would be scarier, and most people getting robbed won't know the difference between the wasp knife and a normal knife unless you stand there explaining to them how much deadlier it is. Well thats what I would assume I'm not an expert on this sort of thing.
As for its effectiveness vs a shark/bear I can see it being useful if you are attacked by a shark you can make it go away much easier than punching its eyes/nose/gills. (Which works according to mythbusters.) I've never read about bears, but if one is attacking you, you would feel much better knowing that all you needed was a stab to get away if you are still capable of moving.

Damn Robbie, you really are getting smarter at school.
For those of you who really are thinking of the militaries, almost everyone who has a knife doesn't need gas to freeze their enemy's internal organs so they die. Stabbing pretty much works, and if that doesn't work, stab again.
|
As terrifying as this sounds, how much more expensive or difficult this thing is compared to uh, poison on the knife for example. I really doubt this thing will boom street killings even if you didnt need a license for this, people have always found ways to kill each other. If anything, this sounds dangerous enough for "accidental" suicide numbers to increase, not exactly murder numbers.
Ah randombum said kinda the same thing, whatever.

creepy.... fuck the people that use their brains for make weapons and make money, it sucks!!
....maybe more effective for humans with poison (in gas state)?? i suck too!!
|
Cloud, you make a good point. Then again, if sales for these boom then who is to say fatal stabbings won't rise?
Getting stabbed is one thing. Getting stabbbed and not living to tell the tale is another.

Exploding shurikens! They will be like the needles(?) in halo needlers. They get stuck in enemy and then... BOOM! They explode.
