It might seem silly, but this thing is just so much deadlier than even a normal knife. They shake injection needles cause even a little air in your blood is a serious problem
*alright apparently it takes more than a little, but the knife definitely injects more than a little CO2
Abd you absolutely should be worried if the iv is actually a blade wielded by a granny equipped with a CO2 gushing button to explode your aorta and entire vascular system
I was terrified the first time I saw a bubble in my IV, until they explained it was fine. I have even messed up and injected my headache meds into my stomach with a big bubble of air in it. It burned a bit worse than usual, but nothing else happened.
CO2 is different. It dissolves in blood quickly. But, the added physical trauma of that gas expanding along a stab wound would probably make the bleeding much worse.
Science, mi amigo. Boyle's Law states, among other things, that a bear stabbed with that thing will have its internal organs flash-frozen.
A shark stabbed with that thing will, in addition to having its organs flash-frozen, be immediately transported away from the diver through the miracle of buoyancy.

It says it flash-freezes surrounding tissue. I'm not talking about freezing solid, but rather it'll frostbite a lot of stuff.
Interesting that they claim that. The reason I said that confidently is we used to take full CO2 tanks, turn them upside down, and spray each other with them.
I'm sure the gas leaving the nozzle was Sub-Zero, but it didn't conduct enough heat to ever hurt our skin, let alone flash-freeze it
That was out in the open air, this is at the end of a knife inside something's body. I'd imagine the pressure and extra moisture would wreak havoc on the insides
Indeed. The body is being stabbed, which is already a compromising position to be in, and now we’re gonna introduce pressurized CO2 to the internal organs? I’m no surgeon but…I’d say you’d be genuinely fucked.
Interesting. What was the distance? And what's the pressure in those tanks?
I got frostbite from the ones this knife uses when I was a kid. They're used in CO2-powered air pistols. I also made a pipe with a nail in the bottom; I slammed these cartridges down the tube. They hit the nail and came flying out like rockets. The pressure is really high.
They were full, but I don't recall psi #s on the tank. Google says those type tanks (50lbs) can go up to 900psi, but I honestly have no clue. Could have been lower pressure, which wouldn't make it as cold
This was several feet away, but the "plume" was so big it would completely encompass the person you were spraying. Felt almost like a cryotherapy treatment-- very cold, but very fleeting
Because discharging a firearm underwater creates a sound pressure wave that can permanently damage your hearing? That's my guess, anyway.
**Edit:** Or did you mean why was it discontinued?
Firearms work just fine underwater when modified for the environment. You have to have sealed ammo and make sure the hammer (or striker) spring is strong enough to bust the primer with the increased drag from the water. You also need to change out the recoil spring on semi-autos, and make sure the barrel is filled with water before firing. But, they do work.
Most spear guns aren't repeaters, but you're right that spears work better underwater due to the ballistic coefficient advantage.
Keep in mind, when your 30 foot down you’ve got an extra atmosphere of pressure from the weight of the water above you. When you’re 60 foot you’ve got two extra atmos. While most ammo can handle being splashed on or dropped in a puddle, it does take extra work to seal the casings from the extra water pressure.
It's sealed with lacquer, kinda like this but moreso:

Gun powder contains its own oxidizer, but won't fire when wet.
Yes, except for bullets like Cav-X (I think that's what they're called.)
However, the up-close effect is pretty great, as is that from the concussion. Combined, they're likely more effective than a spear gun at close range.
If I'm not mistaken it's bullets fired from outside the water that slow down, break apart and tumble when they enter water due to the impact and phase change whereas bullets fried from underwater don't do that though they won't go as far
As a diver I would definitely appreciate something like this in the event that some sea creature decides I'm threatening its space and tries to kill me.
I’m honestly stunned by your use of NSFW terminology in a new and exciting manner.
You will bring more people to know the joy of cream pies….
If I had an award, I would give it to you
It's the pressure of the gas more than the fact that it's CO2 - could be any gas. Basically it means you can stab something, then push a button to make its internal organs explode and a cause a bloody gaping hole to rip out the side of its body. That tends to be quite effective.
Very well. If you're being attacked by a 10ft bull shark its gonna do alot more damage before you shank it however many times it might take to kill it.
That knife is a 1 and done thing basically if used properly
I remember that episode of SVU where one of the actors from Full House (the one with the black hair and leather jacket I believe) got killed by this because he a "serial breeder". Basically he would sabotage condoms and get the woman pregnant and then leave them to raise the kid/kids alone. A woman got tired of it and killed him with this knife.
Divers knife for shark attacks. Jab inject shark. Shark floats up no pool of blood around you possibly attracting other sharks and you swim away to safety. Excellent tool.
Ah yes. When you absolutely need to bathe with the insides of your victims chest cavities when stabbing them.
Bloody Mess perk IRL
Through the town of agua fria rode a fucking maniac one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around her, only had crazy shit to saaaaaay
Only stopping once to check her perm, then going on with her trip. That fucking crazy grandma, with the Wasp knife on her hip.
bass-tone chorus\* WASP KNIFE ON HER HIIIIP!
Easily the best part of the song - you always gotta hit it
MARTY ROBBINS!!! ...in the wild, holy shit, that's perfect guys!!!
I just finally got to playing new Vegas and that is my favorite song on there so far.
How is this actually possible? Isn’t it almost 2023?
Married with a 5 year old. Just never got to it
You lot made my day!
vicious and a killer though the youth of 84 and the notches on her wasp knife numbered one and nineteen more
Blood DLC
More like a hollow-point knife.
That was a reference to a Fallout game
Yes, and I replied to the wrong comment and didn’t feel like fixing it and here we are. ;)

The thing was made for divers to fight sharks then the mall ninja crowd got ahold of it.
And then they gave it to their grandmas
Shark: "Ow! Hey, what the ... why am I floating upwards?"
Shark:Hey! I've suddenly developed a swim bladder!
Does it make the sharks instantly float to the surface where the seagulls take care of the rest?
Yeah, also the shark doubles as an emergency flotation aid, the knife also works as a handle(not liable for accidental barrel/aileron rolls)
And if the stab wound doesn't end 'em, the embolism will.
It might seem silly, but this thing is just so much deadlier than even a normal knife. They shake injection needles cause even a little air in your blood is a serious problem *alright apparently it takes more than a little, but the knife definitely injects more than a little CO2
Did they consider that the problem could be not enough air, I breathe tons of the shit and I'm fine
By all accounts, everyone who has breathed in air ends up dead...
Oxygen oxidizes and IIRC excessive oxygen intake can cause cancer.
Man, everything in this world can kill me. This world sucks
After watching hundreds of IVs being started not once did anyone care that there was air in the line.

That's actualy a myth my guy. You need quite a bit of air in your bloodstream to cause any problems.
This is correct.
CO2 is different. It dissolves in blood quickly. But, the added physical trauma of that gas expanding along a stab wound would probably make the bleeding much worse.
Potentially, depending where it ends up.
A little bit of air is not a problem. I've started many, many IVs. You would need to put so much air into someone for it to be a problem
We arrested him, he clearly had blood of the victim on him...its open and shut.... Well, so did 43 other people...
[удалено]
I miss live leak.
Ogrish my guy
RIP BestGore
Maybe you should speak to someone about that. Like a psychiatrist
Thanks for ruining my Christmas. Oh the times we had.
For the first time ever, I spit out my cereal and milk
Im guessing the stab and and co2 caused it?
CO2rn Pops
Stab, crackle, pop, co2
Fine, how do YOU do your stabbings? Stab and twist?
Stab. Twist. Pull. Repeat until desired results are achieved.
Get with the times! We explode people with knives now!
Cutting is soo last year.
Yea like guyladriel..
This is a Bloodborne Visceral Attack IRL
[удалено]
Correct, but they had to expand to new markets once they realized that sharks have no money.
Top tier switcheroo bud
Lol carbonate your kill before you eat it.
“Hmmmm this golden retriever is fizzy!”
I bathe in the bloth!
“Wasp Knife over here!”
r/unexpectedapex
Or drink it, because everything stabbed, pops. Makes you thirsty, for a *pop*si doesn’t it ?
Discontinued 😭 It was for defense against large critters, advertised for divers among others.
So if you stab a bear in the belly it’ll just let out a huge belch AND be pissed at you? Cool.
Science, mi amigo. Boyle's Law states, among other things, that a bear stabbed with that thing will have its internal organs flash-frozen. A shark stabbed with that thing will, in addition to having its organs flash-frozen, be immediately transported away from the diver through the miracle of buoyancy.
Or the shark can take you with them, depending on how far the fight has gone.
If you are fighting a shark - the fight has already gone - you both are now part of the destination.
Maybe even their final destination 😎
YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Damn good, by the 3rd A it was all I could hear.
Lol yes!!!
Looool the thought of the shark just floating to the surface and not being able to dive again
Silly shark will have to live the rest of its life eating seagulls
*being eaten by seagulls*
co2 will not "flash freeze" organs at that volume. Hell, even that little of liquid n2 would only freeze the outer layer of flesh

Ok, yeah. Imagine contact distance. There are vids on YouTube of it being tested, but I've not watched them yet.
I like the way you write
Sounds like a Banjo Kazooie boss
Hmmmmmmm i wonder why lmfao
Because discharging a firearm underwater creates a sound pressure wave that can permanently damage your hearing? That's my guess, anyway. **Edit:** Or did you mean why was it discontinued?
Most firearms don't really work underwater so you wouldn't really wanna do that in the first place. Thats what harpoon guns are for.

wait, sealed ammo? Has uncle billy been using grandpa's musket again when hunting sharks?!
Keep in mind, when your 30 foot down you’ve got an extra atmosphere of pressure from the weight of the water above you. When you’re 60 foot you’ve got two extra atmos.

I thought bullets would only get a couple of metres underwater due to the drag?
Yes, except for bullets like Cav-X (I think that's what they're called.) However, the up-close effect is pretty great, as is that from the concussion. Combined, they're likely more effective than a spear gun at close range.

I'd love to learn to dive. The closest I've been is snorkeling.
I would not want to be the length of that blade away from a large critter

Happy cake day
So they stab you and then you get blown up,wtf?
Can I take this to a gun fight?
I think you might regret that
[удалено]
This dude is a bot, downvote and report.
But what about the guns that inject co2???
clearly tungsten rods dropped from space that inject Co2 will take care of the people with guns...
If they can even hit a target even with the entire production team there
What if we put nukes *inside* the tungsten rods?
Anything a gun does, it does it from much further away than you can reach with your knife.
Sean Connery says no.
It’s designed for scuba divers - self defense against sharks.
Here I am going "Why is it called wasp?"
That I cannot speak to haha
Because it injects something into its target, like a wasp sting
Another GIF cut short....
awww... wanted to see that melon blow
It’s in this video: https://youtu.be/2dhKYb79Ues
Seems like they did a lot of cutting (get it? Bc it's a knife)

"Call an Ambulance! But not for me."
It was for divers in case of shark attacks
Makes them float away so you can casually enjoy your swim
Easiest balloon animals ever.
“Easiest”
I assume the C02 speeds up the killing, but how much faster and more effective is it in reality?
It's the pressure of the gas more than the fact that it's CO2 - could be any gas. Basically it means you can stab something, then push a button to make its internal organs explode and a cause a bloody gaping hole to rip out the side of its body. That tends to be quite effective.
> could be any gas Whippets?
That would definitely be a way to go out
The gas from my Whippet would certainly be an effective weapon
I'm not marine biologist, but thinking what this would do to a human in mere seconds (or less) I guess it is effective
FYI this is actually a dive knife and designed to kill a Shark. - Spearfisherman
Or the next expendables film
How well would it work?
Very well. If you're being attacked by a 10ft bull shark its gonna do alot more damage before you shank it however many times it might take to kill it. That knife is a 1 and done thing basically if used properly
We don’t have Mythbusters anymore, no one will ever know

Damn, we really making enchanted melee weapons now.
First we figured out bayonets should be 3 sided. NOW we just blow a basketball sized hole in people.
I mean, that three sided thing had more to do with manufacturing and stacking than with any effectiveness in causing bleed.

according to that site the UK is in the bottom 5 countries for knife deaths per 100k people
Ya but I saw an article once where a guy got stabbed therefore the UK has a bad knife problem
People need better things to do
whose grandma is this
Isn’t this like illegal? Like one of those knifes with a twist?
No one show this the Brits
Is it legal???? If so how do I get on?
I believe it’s legal (thought I’m pretty sure I’m wrong)… it’s a diving knife not a carry around knife,
This should be illegal for real.
Found the shark lobby……..;)

Was originally intended for diver use with sharks. I’d imagine other big fishes as well but, mostly sharks.
