It is kind of like a 3-year-old kid punching the heck out of his daddy’s face but does not have enough force behind those punches to put his father in the hospital.
Upon depressing the stun gun’s trigger, the electric charge passes into the perpetrator’s body. Because it is high voltage (lots of punches), the electric charge will pass through thick clothing, fat under the skin, and subcutaneous soft tissue, particularly muscle. However, the low amperage (lack of power) does not have […]
