How does a Stun Gun work?
A stun gun is an
electrical self-defense device that uses high voltage to
stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on
the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However,
because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent
injury is inflicted.
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 efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes
blood sugar by converting it to 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. This causes disorientation and loss of balance and
leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for
several minutes. Still, there is no significant effect on the
heart and other organs.
As a general rule, a one-half
second contact will repel and startle the attacker, giving some
pain and muscle contraction. One to two seconds will cause
muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Over three seconds will
cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion and
disorientation.
The stun gun is legal in most
states. However, before you order one, please make sure they
are legal where you live. You may check
here first.
The electrical
shock that emits from the unit will not pass from the
person being stunned to the person doing the stunning.
The effect is localized only in the affected area and
does not pass through the body. Even if you or the
attacker are wet or standing in water, you will not get
shocked. If you have any other questions about these
devices, give us a call or send us an email. We will be happy to answer you right
