Body Armor With Built-in Stun Gun, Flashlight and Cameraphone Charger
he Armstar Bodyguard 9XI-HD01 looks a bit like that scary black body armor that Christian Bale wears in the recent Batman movies. And it is kind of like that, actually.
The
Bodyguard, which was patented by a California inventor in 2007 under
the title of "wearable shield and self-defense device," is designed to
be a shield, a non-lethal weapon and a communications device all in one
[source: Justia.com]. The flexible arm, which is armored with Kevlar and hard plastic, contains a rechargeable lithium battery
pack that powers an "electronic deterrent" device built into the arm's
artificial skin. All the user has to do is pull a pin, and an assailant
who grabs his or her arm is going to get zapped with electricity.
The Bodyguard is also equipped with a bright LED flashlight, an HD
camera capable of transmitting pictures, and a charging slot into which
an iPhone apparently fits nicely.
