The Right Balance of Size and Stopping Power
Some situations call for more than a pocket stun gun but less than a 20-inch baton. The Shorty sits right in that sweet spot — 7 1/2 inches of aircraft grade aluminum that packs 75 million volts, lights your path with 120 lumens, and gives you a solid striking tool if you need one. It’s the kind of versatility that matters when you’re not sure what you’ll face.
Who This Stun Gun Flashlight Is For
Dog walkers, joggers, and people who move through their neighborhood on foot benefit from the Shorty’s mid-size form factor — it’s comfortable to grip during a walk and easy to holster when you’re done. The included nylon holster clips to a belt or waistband.
Drivers who want a bedside or vehicle defense tool appreciate the Shorty’s size — it fits in a center console or glove box and deploys quickly. The aluminum construction means it works as a striking tool even if you never need the stun function.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Shorty if you want:
- A mid-size stun gun that doubles as a striking baton
- Belt-carry convenience with the included nylon holster
- Rechargeable lithium battery for longer power retention
Consider something else if you need:
- Ultra-compact pocket carry — the BashLite (5.8″) is smaller
- Maximum reach — the Bouncer (22″) or Gator (13.75″) offer more distance
Three Tools in One Package
The 75 million volts with 4.7 milliamps create the same neuromuscular disruption as higher-voltage models — milliamps are what matter for incapacitation, and 4.7 is serious stopping power. A brief contact with an attacker’s body causes involuntary muscle contractions, pain, and disorientation that gives you time to escape.
The 120-lumen LED flashlight provides practical everyday illumination while doubling as a tactical tool — aim it directly at an approaching threat’s eyes to cause temporary blindness and buy yourself critical reaction time. The aircraft aluminum body weighs 0.85 lbs and provides a solid, weighted striking surface that can deliver meaningful physical impact in a defensive situation.

Practical Details
Measures 7 1/2″ x 1 7/8″ and weighs 0.85 lbs. Built from aircraft grade aluminum with a rechargeable lithium battery and included charger cord. Comes with a nylon holster, wrist strap lanyard, and on/off safety switch. Backed by a lifetime warranty from Safety Technology.
Carry the Shorty on your belt, in your vehicle, or at your bedside — 75 million volts of protection that’s always within reach.
How does the Shorty compare to the BashLite?
The Shorty is about 1.7 inches longer and nearly twice the weight of the BashLite, which gives it better striking capability as a baton. The BashLite has slightly higher voltage (85M vs 75M), but both deliver the same 4.7 milliamp output that determines actual stopping power. Choose the BashLite for pocket carry, the Shorty if you want baton capability with holster carry.
Can I use this as a regular flashlight?
Absolutely. The 120-lumen LED operates independently from the stun function. Many owners use the Shorty as their go-to flashlight for walking the dog, checking around the house, or navigating dark parking areas. The stun function only activates when you deliberately engage it, so daily flashlight use is completely safe.
Why rechargeable lithium instead of Ni-CD?
Rechargeable lithium batteries hold their charge longer than Ni-CD batteries and don’t suffer from the memory effect that can reduce capacity over time. This means the Shorty retains more power between charges and maintains consistent performance throughout the battery’s lifespan. Simply plug in the included charger cord when the battery runs low.
