👉 A flashing weapon is a type of non-lethal weapon that uses rapid, intense flashes of light to disorient and temporarily incapacitate an attacker. Typically, these devices consist of a flashing LED light attached to a weapon, such as a baton or knife, which can be activated by the user. When the light flashes, it creates a disorienting effect, making it difficult for the target to see clearly and potentially causing temporary blindness or confusion. This can give the user an advantage in self-defense situations by allowing them to escape or avoid further harm without causing permanent injury. Flashing weapons are often used in law enforcement and personal protection contexts for their ability to subdue without lethal force.
