Gas guns in the 5-10 Joules range are often considered effective non-lethal tools for self-defense. These guns operate using compressed gas, typically CO2 or air, to fire projectiles such as rubber balls or pellets. The energy output of 5-10 Joules is sufficient to cause pain and potentially incapacitate an assailant without causing serious injury. This makes them a popular option for those seeking self-defense measures that don’t involve lethal force, offering a balanced alternative between deterrence and safety.
