When I read about the Wasp Injection Knife, I couldn’t help but think this is one lethal weapon, capable of bringing down the largest of creatures with a single strike.
If you’ve ever done any form of diving, you are familiar with the effects that compressed air can have on the body. As part of the training all divers receive, they are taught that holding your breath while surfacing would cause your lungs to expand and eventually burst.
The premise behind the Wasp Injection Knife is the same. This easy to load knife, will inject a frozen ball of compressed air, roughly the size of a basketball at nearly 800 psi upon strike of it’s target, causing even the largest of animals to drop.
The knife has a multitude of functions. In an aquatic environment, the knife can be used as self defense against large predators. When a predator is struck with the knife, the compressed air causes the region around the strike wound to freeze. The compressed air also causes the predator to float to the surface, thereby drawing other predators away from your area.
This knife will of course have military uses as well. Within the military, the knife has often been the last line of defense, protecting the soldier from harm. Over the years, the knife has undergone some transformation in terms of it’s cutting surface, but there has been very little radical transformation, that is up until now. Needless to say, with this knife, the military personnel will certainly have an advantage.
