How to Make a Taser From a Disposable Camera

Most people will think of a disposable camera as a very simple and safe device. But if you put one into properly trained hands that cheap disposable camera can be turned into a fairly effective taser.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Disposable Camera
• Soldering Gun
• Sixteen gauge wire
• Philips head screwdriver

1. Remove the cardboard covering of your disposable camera.

2. Pop open the plastic body housing of the camera by using a Phillips head screwdriver.

3. Take the circuit board out of the camera. Be careful while removing and handling the circuit board. If you touch the capacitors wires or connection points on the board you will "tase" yourself.

4. Solder two 16-gauge wires, several inches long, to each of the two connection points connecting the flashbulb to the circuit board. Then remove the flashbulb from the circuit board.

5. Place the circuit board back into the camera housing and close it up leaving the two added wires hanging out.

6. Charge up your taser by pressing the flash charge button. If you wait for the flash to be fully charged the blast will be more powerful.

7. Discharge the taser by placing the two wires on your target and pressing the button to take a picture.

Tips & Warnings

• This only works with a disposable camera with a flash, so be sure to purchase the right type.
• Making a disposable camera taser may be illegal in your area. Be sure to check with local laws before building such a device or you could be arrested.
• The power a disposable camera taser puts off may seem innocent but could kill someone with a weak heart, a pacemaker or really bad luck. Be careful what you use this device for or you could end up in a lot of trouble.
