Just so you know, you had it in the case upside down. The handle should be up top with the prongs down so when you grab it you don’t have to flip it in your hand afterwards..
Your video is one of the very best I have seen in any category. It is a no nonsense, very informative and knowledgeable explanation. I wish more videos on RUclips were like yours. Keep up the good work!
I held this thing onto my buddy's arm for 5 seconds and he weighs like 170 and he's about 5'10. He said it was very painful but he didn't fall to the floor and he could still move the rest of his body quite easily.
PlayrSlayerz Well tasing an arm isn't supposed to make someone fall just like punching an arm isn't supposed to make someone fall either. You're supposed to tase the legs, I believe
Just got one of these I work as a delivery driver and a lot of times someone will try and steal packages from me! This thing makes an extremely intimidating sound and that enough scares a lot of these hobos away.
I want to add. Camera microphones really don't do these justice. It's a very loud sound, similar to hitting a can of pressurized air with a baseball bat and making it explode. Very intimidating and the sound itself is probably more likely to end a fight before one ever begins.
Yeah, you are placing your finger on one of the side bars. You will zap yourself if you're not careful. Plus, stun guns still have a charge after being used so be aware of your finger placement when using it.
I've never had a single problem with residual charge lingering around after triggering my stun guns and then touching any of the contacts. You're just blowing BS smoke to act as if you're "smart", when you are not.
Excuse me sir, but I think the 'case' is actually a holster. You were supposed to put the stun gun upside-down so you can pull it out from your belt for an emergency use.
Kind of reminded me of what I read in a Thriller novel. In that novel, a cop uses his taser on this giant, monstrous size spider and the spider had cooking oil or motor oil on it from what I remembered and the spider was set on fire as soon as that taser went off on that beast.
Issues that should've been addressed: -How many times can it be used before having to recharge? -How long should the duration be-as he's doing, or longer? -Must it touch skin? It seems to work through clothes if they're not too thick, but I'd like to know. Thanks!
EXACTLY I WANT TO BUY THE 990 VIPERTEK VTS STUN GUN BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT WORK DOES IT WORK WHEN SHOOT TO THE AIR OR IT MUST TOURCH THE PERSON BODY
I just purchased this stun gun, and have a question I was hoping you can help me with. Do you know if the charge indicator light will go out or change colors when the unit is fully charged? Thanks!
No, I don't believe it goes out. It just stays on to let you know it's plugged in. So, you have to just charge it for a certain amount of time and then unplug.
it's hard to contact this company. I bought my wife 1 and had for like 2yrs. she tried it like twice and it sat a long time. charged it and it doesn't even work now. just cheap crap.
hi, I recently got the vts-979 and there's a metal plug where the removable safety pin wrist strap should go. do I pull it out in order to attach the wrist strap?
NCR Veteran Ranger I ordered 2 of these one for me and one for my mom. One of them won't fire no matter how much i charge it and the charger prongs are very loose. So op is not the only one with these problems as most reviewers I've encountered had similar issues.
Do you know the difference between the VTS-989 V and the plain VTS-989? Both are sold on Amazon and I can't determine the difference in price. The descriptions are the same and I can't find any customer service info for Vipertek. They have good reviews so I want to give them a try. Thanks.
I'm an older woman and I just bought my "bug zapper". I'm practicing taking it out of its case and aiming for either the neck or the groin. I want enough power to put someone down long enough for me to get away. I'm assuming from the comments, it will be adequate for what I need it for?
Unfortunately, as painful as stun devices truly are, the pain subsides almost immediately when contact is broken. Maybe, as you said, a neck or groin area contact might inflict enough lasting pain to "get away" I don't know. I carry a $400 Taser Pulse+ gun that will drop Hulk Hogan for a full 30-seconds. But, you have to leave the Taser on the ground (Taser/Axon will replace free of charge if an authenticated police report is filed and a copy submitted to them) You may want to look into pepper spray. I carry that too: Fox Labs and Sabre products in belt-held carry pouches (you can also just put them in your pockets or in your hand (NOT your purse. Because you would not be able to pull it out fast enough)
I should've done more research for a high quality durable stun gun. I hate buying so many different types of stun gun that only work just okay then after about a year, it's broken. Or no longer holds its charge.
It must have a full charge for optimum performance. Unfortunately it has no "charge-level" indicators, so just leave it plugged-in for a few hours and you should be good.
So, I was on amazon looking at stun guns and I saw this exact same model by different companies such as Terminator and POLICE. Is there any difference between the models?
I need some help please. I bought one for my girlfriend, (Christmas present) when I opened the box, the light was already on.. Even if I put the switch in the off position the light will still come on. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Do they offer refunds or exchanges?
Put this on someone for 2-3 seconds can cause them to wet their pants or 4-5 seconds May cause them to poop 💩 their pants just the Sound alone is terrifying
Hey guys I just received this thing a few days ago and it works fine but my flashlight is Dim. I don't know what happened it worked fine then yesterday I was using it and the flashlight stopped working. The zapper still works though. Anyone know how to fix it?
hey man, I just ordered mine and it came today. Do I need to charge it for the recommended 6-8 hours because it does work and spark as is now and I'm afraid I'll over charge it
I wouldn't worry. I don't think it's really possible to over charge it. When the battery is charged, due to resistance, it will not continue to take in more charge. I have left mine charging overnight and then forgot about for 2 days and it was fine.
+phototristan okay thanks! Yeah I plugged it in an hour and a half or so ago so I'll give it a little more charge time, thanks for replying and the helpful video, It helped me make the decision to pirchase this model!
This has just enough voltage to stun an attacker and make them more angry. Not a good idea to use this against someone showing violent intent, or carrying a lethal weapon... unless you have combat training.
Hey phototristan!!! I have a question. I bought the same one you have 2 days ago and I lost the manual so I didn't know how to charge it and now it just makes a noise and doesn't electrocute as yours do when you are testing it so I was wondering if it's screwed or something. I really hope you can answer me. Like and sub 😊👍
You might have charged it for too long and killed he batyery. Supposed to charge for 8 hours when you first get it, and then for two hours every month thereafter. If you charged it less than 8 hours, just try charging it more. Although I have accidently left it charging for a little more than a day, before, and it was fine. Worst case, you might have to purchase a new one, good thing they're cheap! Its worth it because they do seem to be quite effective..
@ PlayerSlayerz According to the manual, you're supposed to go for certain bodily pressure points, such as the small ribs, lower back or under buttox. Try it on your buddy and let's us know what happens; I haven't found a willing guinea pIg, but would like to know what I'm facing if I do ever have to use it... not many videos online of people testing it's affects.... good luck? And please be advised that it notes in the manual to NEVER hold it to someome for more than 3seconds, as serious heath risk might be incurred after a count of 3..(Just warning you about what it says -please do as you feel necessary for the sake of research) 😲🏥😖
I wonder if it would be super effective to jam it into some dirtbag's head and light it off? You know, those thugs who shave their heads. I also wonder if there are longer after-market electrode points. Long enough to really reach out and touch those internal organs.
Yeah! Leave em' passed out with some puncture wounds and burn marks! Run home and wait for the RUclips click-bait, "Techno-Vampires in YOUR HOME TOWN!".
It came packaged with the prongs downward not upward like you are portraying the unit to be and to be used. That part of your video didn't make sense. Plus you're wrong about the side bars. Even if you touch one of them you'll still get a little jolt so be careful everybody. Not sure why this guy that did this video missed all these important points?
Generally, a seasoned attacker isn't going to let you get anywhere near their head. Have this on you, and also carry powerful pepper spray (Sabre or Fox Labs) to use first (8-12 feet, or even more, effective distance) I carry all of the above.
Just so you know, you had it in the case upside down. The handle should be up top with the prongs down so when you grab it you don’t have to flip it in your hand afterwards..
isnt the top supposed to go in the holster 1st so you can pull it out by the handle?
Yeah this guy that did the video is kind of an idiot.

have u try on yourself see if it hurt? i want 1 for protection..
I took a 928 type to a volt reader, 18 volts
Amazon says it's 58 billion...smfh
how do i know if it's on and off the the off and on button , or it's just the slide button that's mainly in use?
It's a tension loaded "rocker switch" that defaults on OFF.

IS THE VOLTAGE LEVEL IMPORTANT THAN THE AMPS LEVEL I REALLY WANTS TO KNOW BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GET A LOW POWER TYPE I WANT THE POWERFULL ONE

Do you live in Detroit or something?
Not the last time I checked.
BTW stun guns are illegal in the state of Michigan and a few other states as well.
phototristan
Did not know that.
If I lived there the legality issue would be the least of my worries however.
***** in oakland esp.
PHOTOTRISTAN Not illegal here(Michigan), you just need a CPL
You should also do the vipertek VTS-979 stun gun
Dog chewed through the charger anybody know the specs on the charger so I can find a replacement
Do the metal leads unscrew for the unit? I would like to extend the tips if possible.
I'm not sure.
What the difference between VTS- 989 and VTS- 979 ? Which one is more powerful ?
Thanks !!
The difference is that the vts-989 has anti-theft shock plates while the vts-979 has a safety pin
The stun guns that shoot a dart are illegal in NYC but I see nothing that says this type is illegal. Anyone know for sure?
+Carl Favorito the NYC is illegal TAZER (w darts and shape of the gun) and also Stun Gun is also illegal for NYC and W.D.C. that I know for sure

How long does it take to charge
Not sure, but a couple hours I would think.
Will the taser part not work if it's not charged enough? Because mine went out after 3 days
It must have a full charge for optimum performance.
Unfortunately it has no "charge-level" indicators, so just leave it plugged-in for a few hours and you should be good.
i like it, it has a flashlight, taser and you can actually use it as a weapon by hitting someone with it, perfect.
Should you charge it 6 hours when you first receive it?
I would.
this may be a dumb question but how do you charge it ? , this charger looked different
Yes the charger comes with it
It's not USB, if that's what you're wondering. The included charging cord plugs directly into a 120 AC outlet.
So, I was on amazon looking at stun guns and I saw this exact same model by different companies such as Terminator and POLICE. Is there any difference between the models?
I can't say for sure but probably they come from the same factory and are just re-branded by different companies.
