Stun gun - What is a Stun gun?

Pepper Spray and Stun Gun to Protect Yourself
A stun gun is a hand held, electrical self defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on the gun quickly immobilizes the attacker by causing intense pain and loss of muscle control. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted. They are used by police departments, security agencies, and individuals desiring protection against attack.

A stun gun is a device that uses high voltage to immobilize an attacker. Stun guns may look like guns, but often are shaped like small blocks or batons. Regardless of how they look, stun guns have two prongs on the end. When those prongs come in contact with an attacker, electrical current is transferred. To be effective, the attacker has to be contacted with the stun gun for a half second up to several seconds.

A stun gun is a hand held, electrical self defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. A stun gun has two prongs at the end of the device. Touching a person with the prongs and pulling the trigger will cause an electrical current to go from the prongs through the attacker's clothes into his body. This quickly immobilizes the attacker by causing intense pain and loss of muscle control. The pulsed current causes muscles to work super fast, depleting them of needed blood sugars.

Stun guns are non-lethal self defense weapons that use high voltage to stop an assailant. Touching an attacker with the two metal prongs on the stunners quickly causes temporary loss of balance and mental confusion. The longer the unit maintains contact with the assailants body, the more effective the device is in repelling the attacker. For 1-2 seconds will cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state.

Stun Guns Frequently Asked Questions
A stun gun is a hand held, electrical self defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on the gun quickly immobilizes the attacker by causing intense pain and loss of muscle control. The voltage causes the body to quickly dump massive loads of lactic acid into the muscles. This is similar to what happens when you get a cramp, but in this case it is a larger part of the body affected and for a longer period of time.

What is the difference between a Stun Baton and a Stun Gun?

Pepper Spray and Stun Gun to Protect Yourself
Stun Batons use the same technology as stun guns to immobilize an aggressor. The electrical discharge that they deliver is non-lethal, however if you strike the attacker with the stun baton it may cause serious injury or death in the same manner a blow with a standard baton might. The extended reach of stun batons make them ideal for police officers and security personnel. However, due to their size they may be undesirable for some individuals as they do not fit in a pocket or purse

What are the effects of a stun gun?

StunGun.co.za
The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not very efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it into lactic acid all in just seconds. The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted.

Will a stun gun kill someone?

SecureIP Wireless Internet Camera System FAQ
When properly used, a stun gun is a non lethal device that will not cause permanent damage. When used, a stun gun is not electrocuting a person - the voltage produced is causing a physical reaction and chemical reactions in the body, which includes the rapid dump of lactic acid into the muscles, creating an extreme state of cramping that can last anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour.

Which is better, a stun gun or a Taser?

SecureIP Wireless Internet Camera System FAQ
Both are excellent self defense devices. However we believe a Taser is more suited for home defense and a stun gun is better for everyday walking around defense. Tasers shoot two darts at a range of about 15 feet. However, the large size of the Taser is not practical for carrying around on a regular basis.
