Stun Guns

A stun gun is with less restriction on their use than a firearm. Stun guns are quick, efficient, and are nonlethal weapons. A stun gun can easily be concealed in a pocket or purse, and is very lightweight. Stun guns are often battery powered, so charging them is not a problem. Stun guns provide a wonderful sense of security. A stun gun, which is also known as a taser (Thomas A Swift’s Electronic Rifle), is used as a self-defense weapon. Stun guns do not do any personal damage; however, they can leave a person dazed for as long as fifteen minutes. The only variation of the taser is they shoot barbs, which carry an electric current through the connected wire, which can travel considerable distances.

Stun guns function as a high voltage, and low current mechanism. This is what causes the sudden “stun.” Electric current is the flow of charged particles. Our bodies’ nervous system runs on electric charges and, consequently, when that extra amount of current is added to the body, although substantially low, it still causes the stun. The high voltage allows the current to enter the body, which also cause convulsions and spasms. This is caused by the high voltage, low current charge.
