would it be powerful enough to use for self-defense.

Powerful enough 100% NO WAY a 177 pellet will not bring down a squirrel at 1 yard distance, BRANDASHING a PT 85 in a public place " may" get you shot down by a law enforcement officer.They do look and act realistic buts thats all.

No.this is only a pellet gun .good for practice and target shooting sense ammo is so expensive. But it does look like the real thing but never a self defense gun.

Yes it is at close range, but in most places is illegal to carry on your person without a LTC or Class A

Thankfully, I have not had the need to shoot someone with it. I believe the small "bullet" could pierce through skin, if the person gets shot at close range. So, It has enough power to hurt, but its not as powerful as a real gun. I would say yes, it can be powerful enough to be used as self defense but don't go out there thinking you can go against someone with a real fire arm. I hope this helps you.

I was asking myself that same thing.. i would guess that it would definitely hurt someone, pretty bad at close range. That is unless they were hopped up on meth and cocaine. The pellets imbed themselves in wood at about 150-200 feet using the Crossman destroyer pellets. Those pellets seem to do the most damage and I'm willing to bet they would stop most people.

you have 8 shots on one end of the clip and then flip it over and you have another 8 shots and if you shoot someone in the face with this gun they will leave for sure, with 8 shots as fast as you can pull the trigger and then flip it and have 8 more, yes you can use this for self defense, but don't have to worry about killing someone, just make them leave.

No, this is not a home defense weapon. It is used for shooting amusement. It could be used as a training device which is why I bought it for my wife. I would use a baseball bat for home defense before using these air pistols. Hope this helps.

Yes. It has the speed adjutment and power needed. I use it more for cutting steel than wood. Designed more for serious DIYer than commercial use, however.

Yes it's plenty strong for that use. I use it mainly to deprime and to remove bullets. But it is a good press for light duty use
1588807
actually it depends how many volt or watts is this if its high voltage it could kill a person if he very close but this type is small it want hurt that bad but it will scare attacker u can push the trigger for only for 2-5 second that's enough unless he or sh attack u

Yes I think it would be good for that purpose as well. It's actually very strong.

Don't think I'd be treating it that way. It's probably strong enough, but it could be dangerous, considering how sharp this tool is.

Well fortunately i have not had the chance of using the sword in self defense. Right out of the package I would say the tip would be very capable of piercing through any hostiles that may come your way, but the edge's will need to be sharpened if you want to be capable of making clean slices.

I can't think of a home defense scenario that I would have a large knife on me. A smaller revolver or mace would be far likelier to be carried discreetly (not freak out neighbors) and be ready to deploy. Knife work takes real training and you don't need something this size except in a knife fight. This is really a top notch survival knife for field conditions.

that'd be pretty intense if it did, i wouldnt even worry about that, its extremely durable with the tang it has

It would, but you could not hold it yourself and shoot at the same time......not heavy, but not manageable for one person.....if you have an assistant....different story. If you're looking at something that you can hold and still shoot, should be looking at Rogue

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.

It can be worn as a piece of jewelry, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to use it in a self-defense situation. The weird alignment might lead to a broken finger bone or knuckle.

No, but it would probably do a great job. There is an extremely small ring that would probably be perfect for it.

You"ll be crazy to use this for self or home defense for it is long and unwieldy, especially in the hallway. Even in a bedroom, you'll end up chopping up furnitures, instead of the intruder(s). Not to mention if there are more than one bad guys with guns, you're toasted. Get a gun if you're serious about HD.

Yes - I would think so. It isn't too powerful (compared to others) but it is fun to shoot and as long as my son (10) wears eye protection he can shoot by himself.

This is a very heavy and powerful gun. I would not want to get hit with this gun unless I was heavily padded and protected.
