What Do You Get When You Combine a Sword and Electroshock Weapon? This Terrifying Homemade 'Taser Sword

Thanks to the Slingshot Channel on YouTube, we've seen a lot of fascinating DIY weapons (generally including rubber bands in their mechanism). But this new DIY "Taser Sword" comes from another YouTube user.

It's, as jonathanj9969 describes it, a "double bladed sword with a taser built in."

We should note that Taser is a trademarked product sold by Taser International, and the more generalized term for a device emitting such an electrical current is stun gun or electroshock weapon.

Jonathanj9969 wrote that he wrapped the handle in rubber padding and electrical tape for user safety.

And if you're wondering how the device is charged, the handle simply plugs into a wall outlet.

"I say that more out of concern for my own safety than yours," Tickle wrote.
