We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?

We do? What is wrong with a baseball bat? Or a sock filled with quarters?
Held in hand. Point. "Shoot".

Both require a lot more effort to stop a threat and can be captured and disarm you at their effective range.

A tank full of sharks and gloves that dispense a sticky concentrated chum mixture with each hit. Get a couple good body blows in, knock them into the water, let nature (+/-) take its course.

If the fight starts when you're already at a close range melee weapons have a very decent chance of coming out on top over firearms. Maybe not the sock but bats and knives definitely.

The best defense is avoidance. To that end, a personal time-travel / prognostication device that could both predict danger and chronoport you back to before danger was imminent would be the ultimate defense, though suppose not strictly a "weapon".

This one's kind of cool. What about a voice modulator that makes it seems like your voice is their own internal monologue and you can disarm them by boring them to death or confusing them.
