Stun guns can be used in all weather conditions. Pepper spray can blow back into your own face on a windy day and cause you to have the same violent reaction as the attacker you are trying to spray. This also applies to scaring off neighborhood dogs and wildlife if you have an active outdoor life. Preventing an attack before it happens is ultimately desirable. Anything that may prevent the attack from happening at all is a huge benefit.
In a very competitive market, most stun gun do more than just provide electrical shock self-defense. A cell phone or lipstick is perfect if you want to conceal the device.
Any voltage is enough to bring someone down when used in the right areas. Ok, your fear of stun guns is gone and you've chosen the perfect model for you or your loved one. How are you going to defend yourself if you are attacked? Lesson One: have the weapon out and in your hand in any situation where you could be an easy target.
I'm not saying to walk around Wal-Mart with a stun gun in your hand while you shop, but criminals look for easy targets or opportunities. If you're walking through the mall parking lot, a parking garage or alone, in general, you're a pretty easy target.
If you're walking in these same areas with a weapon in your hand, the criminal is going to find someone else. Nobody wants a huge scene when they're trying to rob, attack or rape you. Lesson Two: if you are attacked, pick a large muscle group to stun. The chest, the stomach, obviously the groin, the thighs, and the back are ideal places to stun an attacker. These large muscle groups will bring down an attacker very quickly. Now, you don't have all day to make a decision, so if the face or neck is the closest body part you can reach, well, then it's just not his lucky day.
Also, the longer you hold it on someone, the longer and more effective the stunning will be. One to two seconds will get their attention.
Three to five seconds will get their attention, most likely drop them to the ground and leave them confused. Lesson Three: take quick but detailed mental notes of the attacker and then RUN! Go get help immediately. If you've stunned the guy long enough to drop him to the ground, chances are it'll take some time for him to run off. And even if he does, you should have some details to give to the police.
Oh and be sure to even call the police. Some people figure that if the guy runs off, it's too late. It's not. The guy with a few screws loose that just attacked you will do it again. And if you don't report it, then we can't warn others. And the next person may not be as prepared as you. I hope this article was helpful to you and be sure to pass it on to others. The more people we can empower, then maybe the safer our world will become. By merely applying the unit to an attacker they are immobilized for up to several minutes with no permanent damage.
Stun guns do not rely on high amperage for results. They are designed to key into the nervous system, interrupting tiny neurological impulses that travel through the whole body as well as instantly burning blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid similar to that of extremely vigorous exercise.
Attacker's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the EID, disorientation, and loss of balance occur and direct voluntary muscle movement is lost. Should you make contact with the body of the attacker, no current will pass through your system.
Cart is empty. View cart. All categories Stun Guns. Stun Guns. There are, however, models that have a wrist strap that will disable the device if it is pulled out.
All in all, like any other self defense product the stun gun is merely a tool for keeping you safe. It is always best to have a back-up plan or product like pepper spray to help you in times of crisis.
An electrical outlet, for example, typically has volts but between amps. It only takes one amp to kill a person. Stun guns run off of high voltage, but low amperage in order to disable someone. Completely false. A slight touch will cause someone to jerk back, but not incapacitate them. The stun gun must be held in large muscle groups hips, torso, neck for at least seconds in order to be effective. Shocking someone will cause the current to flow to me.
TASERs and stun guns are completely different devices. It is an electronic control device ECD , relying on neuromuscular incapacitation vs. The reality is that nothing is full-proof. As a pain compliance tool, stun guns will not work as effectively on those who are on drugs, intoxicated or psychotic. Categories Self-Defense. The water pipe analogy is widely used in the industry, including by the National Institute of Justice.
Think of our analogy. The charge is analogous to the amount of water; you can have a still body of water. However, you can't have a current if there's nothing for it to carry.
The amount of charge, or pain felt, is analogous to how wet you get. With a greater current, you can carry more charge in a given period of time. Having a great deal of voltage simply means that you have the potential to make charge move. Having just the potential to do this will not hurt you in the slightest unless you actually have some charges there to move.
Having all that charge moving across your body will hurt you a great deal. Having high voltage does not mean that you have high current. So you can have a lot of potential to make charges move voltage without actually having any charges moving current. This means you can have high voltage without getting hurt at all. A great example of this is static electricity.
By pulling a sweater off over your head on a cold winter day you often feel sparks crackling… this requires thousands of volts, but does not really hurt. The electronic stun device market is permeated with claims of extremely high voltages. Unfortunately, most of these claims have little basis in reality. As you can see in the table below from an independent published source, the advertised voltage of most stun devices is greatly exaggerated.
The [device] delivers a peak voltage of V to the body. This threshold is consistent with results published in the Testimony of J.
