Even in the self-defense and security products business, some folks are still unable to give a satisfactory answer to the question, "How do I use a stun gun?" It's a good and valid question.
You as the customer have identified a need, you've decided on the product, the Stun Gun is in your hands, but now what? The newer Stun Guns look a lot like the old Sony Eriksson cell phone that was once so popular.
That's where the clever, some might say diabolical and tactical advantage comes into play.
You see, weapons are great, guns and knives are wonderful, pepper spray is awesome.
The problem is being able to effectively deploy the weapon in a stressful, potentially life-threatening situation or environment.
By already having the Stun Gun at the ready, as you feign receiving a cell phone call for instance, you can launch a pre-emptive strike on your assailant before he knows what hit him.
And believe me, he will know he has been hit when 950,000 volts start pounding his body like a Mack truck.
Coupled with some basic awareness techniques and some common-sense security precautions ,these new cell phone look-a-like Stun Guns are a formidable defensive tool in your arsenal.
They can also be an effective deterrent as just a show of force.
I've seen thugs and street-punks flee the scene at the mere sight and sound of the two probes crackling their fiery blue light in the night air.
Basically, no one will know the stopping-power you wield in your hand unless you decide to divulge it, and deception is one of the finer points in any combative situation.
You may wonder if it's such a good idea to be so covert in your defense.
After all, wouldn't it be easier to let the punks and hooligans know what you're packing so they will seek a more vulnerable target? Won't they just move on? Perhaps, but consider this scenario.
You've been shopping all day, you have gone out to your car to put bags in your trunk and returned to the mall, etc.
What you don't realize is now you've been targeted, and it's not just your shopping bags they are interested in.
They might want you, or your car, or both.
The point is, an overt display of potential force might simply make them adjust their level accordingly, after all, they have been lying in wait in the parking lot for hours.
Considering that some of these types don't scare that easily, this is definitely not what you want.
So, you're not trying to entice or deliberately invite any nefarious types to approach you or encourage an assault by using this Stun Gun.
You are simply taking the tactical advantage for yourself and gaining an edge over a potential attacker by turning the tables and using the element of surprise against him, which is the last thing he will be expecting.
As far as technical aspects go, basically a Stun Gun uses high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes.
Remember, it's the amps that kill, not the voltage, this is a non-lethal defensive response.
The stun gun does not rely on pain for results.
The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker's muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly, kind of like how your muscles feel after 20 brutal repetitions on the weight bench.
This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the attacker's blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid.
In short, he is unable to produce energy for his muscles, and his body is unable to function properly.
The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement.
When the attacker's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance.
In response to the most often asked question regarding current flow, should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body! It doesn't work that way!! In closing, let me just say that of all non-lethal responses to a personal assault, a Stun Gun is THE way to go if you or your loved ones need additional security and protection, and don't have the time, desire or willingness to risk potential liability by employing more conventional methods of self defense, i.
e.
firearms or edged weapons.
