Stun Guns
Stun guns are convenient weapon for self-defense commonly used by
women. Simply put, a stun gun can be defined as a hand-held electronic
device used for self-defense that emits a high-voltage pulse. Stun guns
can be quite dangerous, and should only be used by those who know what
they are doing. Stun Guns, of at least 400,000 volts and up, will stop
most people. Some people can take quite a jolt, and keep on coming.
Stun guns range in size, shape and voltage. Some are the size of cell phones or large pens. Stun Guns are easy to use, non-lethal, defensive devices with interesting technology. A stun gun is a hand-held, battery-powered device designed to deliver an electric shock to an assailant.
Stun guns are always compact in size and have been compared to the bulk of a flashlight. They use standard batteries and can have an impact from around 20,000 volts all the way to an astounding 150,000 volts. Stun guns come in straight and curved models. The straight stun gun is typically smaller and easier to carry, the curved model allows a more natural wrist angle when using the stun gun. Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. The stun gun does not rely on pain for results.
Stun guns interfere with the electrical signals sent from a person's brain, so all other lines of communication go down. The muscles and nerves have an electrical current applied to them, and normal functioning becomes impossible. Stun guns are generally around 6 inches long and designed for average-sized hands. You can also purchase mini stun guns that can fit easily in a pocket or purse. Stun Guns do indeed work even on those under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. Even if the aggressor is physically touching you when you fire the stun gun into them you can not suffer from a charge back!
Stun guns will not permanently injure or kill any adult because of the voltage; its the amps that will hurt you. One amp will kill a person. Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for up to five to ten minutes. Stun guns are non-lethal weapons that disable an attacker without doing permanent harm. Any self defense class will teach you that evasion is the best defense.
