Looking for something to jot down a few lines of poetry as you sip camomile tea from your Battle Mug? While a Bic might do the trick, it would perhaps be more appropriate to use the UZI Tactical Defender Pen.

Honestly, I don't care for it at all. There are any number of other "tactical" pens that I like a lot better.
Pen itself is fatter and heavier than I'd like for writing (and lets face it, if you're carrying this thing around, you'll probably be writing with it a lot more than striking!).
The fact that it says "Uzi" on it means its not exactly stealthy. For some that may not matter, but for some having a pen that looks like a weapon isn't so good.
"DNA catcher" is a bunch of marketing BS. In practice, I question the ability of anyone to retrieve a useful DNA sample from something like this, and I also would like to see someone cite me an example where an impact DNA "collector" like this has actually led to a criminal conviction. My understanding is that if they do it at all, police only reserve expensive DNA testing for "special" crimes.
Any weapon that draws blood "could" be a "DNA collector" right? (Including a 1911. . if you hit someone with one, they'll be leaving some DNA lying around!).
My biggest problem with this is that its got a point on both ends. That means there isn't a "safe" end to put your thumb over to increase the power of a strike, or to brace on the inside of your palm for same. If you need to use this to punch a hole in something (not necessarily a living thing), point on both ends makes it much harder to do so safely.
