M18L taser with 6 cartridges,Yes, this is a real high quality taser that shoots out electrodes, like the police carry. This model also includes an integrated red laser. The included cartridges are past date, but I tested them and they work fine, and new cartridges are available online. This M18L model is more powerful than the models that the police carry, so it is a very effective less-than-lethal self defense tool! Priced to sell at $300, but trades considered.
