Conventional stun guns have a fairly simple design. They are about the size of a flashlight,
and they work on ordinary 9-volt batteries.
The batteries
supply electricity to a circuit consisting of various electrical components.
The circuitry includes multiple transformers, components that boost the output voltage up to 1,000,000 volts with low amperage.
It also includes a oscillator, a component that fluctuates current to produce a specific pulse pattern of electricity. This current
charges a capacitor. The capacitor builds up a charge, and releases it to the electrodes, the "business
end" of the circuit.
The electrodes are
simply two plates of conducting metal positioned in the circuit with a gap between them. Since the electrodes
are positioned along the circuit, they have a high voltage difference between them. If you fill this gap with
a conductor (say, the attacker's body), the electrical pulses will try to move from one electrode the other,
dumping electricity into the attacker's nervous system.
Our stun-gun models have two pairs of electrodes: an inner
pair and an outer pair. The outer pair, the charge electrodes, are spaced a good distance apart, so current will only flow if
you insert an outside conductor. If the current can't flow across these electrodes, it flows to the inner pair, the test
electrodes. These electrodes are close enough that the electric current can leap between them. The moving current ionizes the
air particles in the gap, producing a visible spark and crackling noise. This display is mainly intended as a deterrent: An
attacker sees and hears the electricity and knows you're armed. Some stun guns rely on the element of surprise, rather than
warning. These models are disguised as umbrellas, flashlights or other everyday objects so you can catch an attacker off
guard.
These sorts of stun guns are popular with ordinary
citizens because they are small, easy-to-use, and legal in most areas. Police and military forces, on the other hand, typically
use more complex stun-gun designs, with larger ranges. In the next couple of sections, we'll look at some of these sophisticated
stun guns.
The way a stun gun works is by interrupting the communication signals from the brain to the body. A stun gun
does not harm a person permanently; it only temporarily disrupts the way our body functions. A stun gun won't
cause damage in the long run because the electricity that it delivers into a person's body is very high
voltage but low amperage electrical charge. In this way, the charge is not intense enough to cause any long
term damage to the person.
So when you press the stun gun against a person and deliver the shock to them, a few things happen
contributing to their following [stunned] condition. The electric shock delivered by the stun gun will combine with the electric
signals from the brain and this will confuse your body and make it hard to move. Another effect the stun gun can have is causing a
person to do excessive amounts of work directed towards nothing in a particularly short period of time. This will use all of the
persons energy so that they will temporarily be unable to do anything.
When triggered, the stun gun emits a bright electrical blast that is quite intimidating and makes a very
loud popping noise that will attract the attention of anyone within earshot.
To use a stun gun, hold the electrodes firmly against a muscular area of the attackers body such as a shoulder,
thigh, or buttocks. You will not receive a shock even if you are touching the person being stunned. To completely subdue the attacker,
the stun gun must be continuously applied for a few seconds. More time is required if the person is large, or you are using a low
voltage model.
Can Stun Guns be Lethal?
Stunguns can't be lethal they don't have enough amperage to kill someone. They only effect the regular muscles
in your body not the vital organs such as the heart or any of those organs. They just temporarily stun your
muscles and makes a person fall to the ground and make it feel like they fell off a 2 story building and they
are very confused and disoriented for minutes afterward. Stun guns do not kill. However, on persons with a
heart condition or other medical problems, it is possible. Just as possible as someone sneaking up behind a
person with a heart condition and saying 'BOO' in his ear.
What are the types of stun guns?
Three types of stun gun weapons are made for retail. The first is a static charge gun which immobilizes people
by using an electric current powered by static charge. The second gadget is called a Phase Induction gun,
which delivers a charge to living creatures through an electric current achieved through phase induction.
The final type of stun gun is the T-Wave gun. This device disrupts the brain's signals to the body by means
of an electric current completed with EMD (Electro-Muscular Disruption).
1. Static charge. Range in volts is between 80,000 and 1,000,000. Uses 9-20 watts. 80,000-100,000 volts stun
guns use one 9 volt battery and 200,000-625,000 volts stun guns use two or three 9 volt batteries while the larger 775,000 to 1,000,000 volt
police type uses four 9 volt batteries.
2. Phase Induction delivery. Range in volts is from 100,000 to 625,000. Uses 7-15 watts. This type of stun
guns (Talon brand) uses more effective and efficient delivery of the shock. A 200,000 volts stun gun using
phase induction delivery is equivalent to a 300,000 volts stun gun which uses static charge.
3. Electro-Muscular Disruption - EMD - is used in tasers. It's amore powerful 18-26 watt electrical system.
The air taser gun looks like a pistol but uses compressed air to fire two darts that trail electric cable
back to the handset. When the darts strike, a five-second 50,000 volt charge is released down the cable,
causing the assailant's muscles to contract uncontrollably. The taser causes temporary paralysis and research
suggests there is little permanent risk to health. A laser helps target the assailant and taser works at
ranges up to 21 ft. Electrical signals - taser waves or T-waves - overpower the body's normal electrical
signals, temporarily confusing the nervous system.
Advanced taser guns have the advantage of being able to get through thick clothing. If the darts miss, there
are two probes in front of the weapon, allowing the unit to be used as a stun weapon. Because these weapons
affect the central nervous system by imitating the electrical impulses used to communicate within the human
body, a hit anywhere on the body can be effective. Thus, the ADVANCED TASER is much easier to use than sprays
or even firearms that require a hit to a specific zone of the body. Air Cartridges are not reusable. You have
to replace them after each shooting. Therefore, use Advanced Taser only in emergency situations (unless you
have a lot of money to spend for buying cartridges).
