What is a Stun Gun? Well, first of all, it isn’t a gun in ordinary terms because it doesn’t shoot anything. A Stun Gun is a non-lethal electronic device that gives a high voltage, low amperage shock. One touch to an attacker and he will be stopped cold in his tracks.
The voltage of a Stun Gun is usually between 80,000 and 1 million volts. The higher the voltage, the more effective the device is in taking down the bad guy.
However, it is the amperage of the Stun Gun that does the damage. Most Stun Guns use 2-5 milliamps of power to drop the attacker. One thousand milliamps (1 amp) is lethal to a human being, so the much lower amperage in a Stun Gun is designed not to be lethal, but only to give the attacker the “shock of his life” and immediately disable him.
When you push the pronged end of the Stun Gun against an attacker and squeeze the trigger, an electrical charge passes into his body. This causes instant disablement from the Stun Gun and this, not pain, is the main effect from the shock.
When you touch an attacker with a Stun Gun, the shock causes the […]
