Made of titanium alloy, this metal baton includes a stun feature to enhance weapon retention abilities. Against bunt weapons the most dangerous place to be is right in the "sweet spot".....
...and the safest place is either outside of swing range or getting close enough to grapple, where the swing is nullified. This poses a challenge for easily-grabbed two-handed policing tools which is why they are generally not used in the West. Сhinese police have a solution...
Wielded using the same techniques as the Chinese military longsword used extensively during the Sino-Japanese War, the "shock sword" baton is difficult to grab because the 'blade' is electrified! Effectively, the blunt baton is rendered into a blade using electricity
A recent addition to the policing inventory, this "shock sword" was first deployed in Shenzhen. It is mainly designed to fight against suspects who wield cleavers and watermelon knives which are common threats to police in China.
Chinese police equipment is uniquely designed for safety and this 'baton' is no exception. In the future, I will make a few more threads on the unique strategies employed against blade-wielding attackers in China 😃
