On August 27, 2007, Security With Advanced Technology announced that its new, non-lethal self-defense device, the Avurt IM-5 launcher, is available for pre-sales at a product launch event held in New York City.

The Avurt IM-5 launcher is a small, handheld self-defense device that fits in a purse, holster or backpack that shoots up to five PAVA pepper filled projectiles at attackers up to forty feet away. The IM-5 launcher's PAVA filled projectiles are non-lethal, but will cause an attacker's nose, throat and eyes to burn, temporarily disabling them. The IM-5 launcher protects from greater distances than conventional pepper spray and stun guns, and unlike stun guns, it uses technology that hasn't eliminated a life.

"The IM-5 launcher provides consumers with more attributes than pepper spray and Taser with its four deterrents: laser sight, loud bang, impact of projectile, and debilitating effects of the PAVA pepper powder along with a range of forty feet," said Scott Sutton of Security With Advanced Technology.

The Avurt IM-5 Launcher Kit is available for an introductory price of $299. The kit includes one IM-5 launcher (available in black, blue, red or pink), ten practice rounds, a carrying case, a training DVD, and instruction manual.
