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.
Although there is no significant effect on the
perpetrator's heart and other organs, you have the time you
need to get away and call for help.
Stun Guns have
a common theme.
They are a direct
contact weapon- not to be confused with a Taser™ Device
As a general rule,
a one-half second contact can repel and startle the
attacker, giving some pain and muscle contraction.
You will not be affected even if you
are holding your attacker with another hand or he is holding you! The extreme
shock does not pass between people.
One to
two seconds can cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental
state. Over three seconds can cause loss of balance and
muscle control, mental confusion and
disorientation. Realize that 3 seconds is quite a long
time when in a physical struggle.
Every person is different and
will react differently to the effects of a stun gun. What
may put one person down in 3 seconds could take 5 seconds
on another person. You must be prepared to hold it on the
person for as long as (forcefully) possible or
necessary.
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.
